What's this test for?

This test is designed for athletes and bodybuilders who are using or considering performance-enhancing drugs and want to monitor their health and hormone levels. It helps identify potential side effects from anabolic steroid use, including hormonal imbalances, liver stress, cardiovascular changes, and metabolic issues. Many people use this test to ensure they're cycling safely and to catch any health concerns early before they become serious problems.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12-14 hours
No biotin: 72 hours
No ejaculation: 24 hours

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your test, consuming only water during this time. Avoid ejaculation for 24 hours before testing for accurate PSA results. If you're using testosterone cream, avoid rubbing any into the inner elbow area for 24 hours as it can artificially elevate results. If you're taking high-dose biotin supplements, stop them at least 72 hours before your test as they can interfere with some measurements.

What's included in this test?

Estradiol,Ultrasensitive, LC/MS Sex Hormone Binding Globulin FSH GGT Insulin LH

This comprehensive panel evaluates your complete hormonal profile including testosterone, estradiol, LH, FSH, and SHBG to assess how performance-enhancing drugs are affecting your natural hormone production and balance. It monitors liver health through extensive liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin) which can be stressed by oral steroids, checks prostate health with PSA testing, and assesses cardiovascular and metabolic risk through lipid panels, glucose, insulin, and comprehensive metabolic markers. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of how PEDs are impacting your body and help you make informed decisions about your health and cycle management.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone levels, liver function, and metabolic markers mean for your overall health and performance. These notes include personalized recommendations on whether you should adjust your cycle, take time off, add liver support supplements, or address cardiovascular risk factors. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your hormone levels and organ function over time using our trends feature to monitor how your body responds to different compounds or training phases.
When will I get my results?
Results are typically available within 10 business days. If confirmation testing is required for any marker, the timeframe may be extended slightly. You'll be notified as soon as your comprehensive results are ready for review.
Who should consider this test?
This test is essential for anyone currently using or planning to use anabolic steroids, SARMs, or other performance-enhancing drugs who wants to monitor their health. It's also valuable for natural athletes who want comprehensive baseline hormone and health markers, bodybuilders preparing for or recovering from a cycle, and anyone experiencing symptoms like gynecomastia, low libido, fatigue, or mood changes that may indicate hormonal imbalance. Regular monitoring with this panel helps catch problems early and supports safer performance enhancement practices.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
You should consider this test if you're experiencing symptoms like unusual fatigue, decreased libido, mood swings, irritability, gynecomastia (breast tissue development), testicular shrinkage, acne outbreaks, hair loss, or changes in urination. Other warning signs include unexplained weight gain, water retention, difficulty sleeping, increased aggression, or symptoms of high blood pressure like headaches and dizziness. These can all indicate hormonal imbalances or organ stress from performance-enhancing drug use.
How can I support my health while using performance enhancers?
Focus on liver support through supplements like NAC, TUDCA, and milk thistle, especially when using oral steroids. Maintain cardiovascular health with regular cardio exercise, omega-3 fatty acids, and keeping your diet rich in fiber and low in saturated fats. Stay well-hydrated, get 7-9 hours of quality sleep, and consider adding CoQ10 for heart health. Support natural testosterone production during and after cycles with proper post-cycle therapy, and always include time off between cycles to allow your body to recover.
What does high estradiol mean in men?
High estradiol in men typically occurs when testosterone is converted to estrogen through aromatization, which is common with certain anabolic steroids. Elevated estradiol can cause gynecomastia (breast tissue growth), water retention, emotional sensitivity, decreased libido, and fat gain, particularly around the midsection. Managing estradiol through aromatase inhibitors, adjusting your cycle, or increasing natural compounds that support estrogen metabolism may be necessary if levels are too high.
How often should I retest when using performance enhancers?
If you're actively using performance-enhancing drugs, testing every 6-8 weeks during your cycle is recommended to monitor hormone levels and organ function. You should also test before starting a new cycle to establish your baseline, midway through longer cycles to catch any issues early, and 4-6 weeks after completing post-cycle therapy to ensure proper recovery. Even during off-periods, testing every 3-4 months helps ensure your natural hormone production has recovered and your organs are healthy before starting another cycle.

What this means

Your total testosterone level is significantly elevated above the normal range, which is common when using anabolic steroids or testosterone replacement therapy. While higher testosterone can support muscle growth and performance, excessively high levels increase the risk of side effects like elevated estrogen conversion, cardiovascular strain, and suppression of natural hormone production.

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
