How the blood is taken

The tool starts on a vein draw when you pick a hormone or blood-count marker: finger-prick samples can be contaminated by gels and creams and clot more easily, so most providers advise a vein draw for those.

Advanced options

Some labs calculate free testosterone from total testosterone, SHBG and albumin rather than measuring it. With this on, only measured results count.

Results

Cheaper combination

No single test covers everything you picked; this is the cheapest way to get them all. Up to three orders; tests from one provider that can share a sample are one order with one collection fee.
