Should you choose the Standard or Premium HRT Profile test?
Standard HRT Profile
The standard HRT Profile test includes FSH, Oestradiol and Progesterone.
FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): A hormone that helps regulate the menstrual cycle and stimulates the growth of eggs in the ovaries in women, and sperm production in men.
Oestradiol: A form of oestrogen that plays a vital role in regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting pregnancy, and the development of female secondary sexual characteristics.
Progesterone: A hormone involved in regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining pregnancy. It is produced after ovulation to prepare the uterus for a potential pregnancy and support early stages if conception occurs.
Premium HRT Profile
This set of tests evaluates key aspects of your metabolic, reproductive, and thyroid health.
Cholesterol Profile: A set of tests that measure different types of cholesterol in your blood, including Total Cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and Triglycerides, to assess heart health and cardiovascular risk.
Glucose: Measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in your blood to evaluate your risk of diabetes and assess overall metabolic health.
FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): A hormone that helps regulate the menstrual cycle and stimulates egg development in women, as well as sperm production in men.
Oestradiol: A form of oestrogen, which is essential for regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting pregnancy, and the development of female secondary sexual characteristics.
Thyroid Function: Free T4: Measures the unbound form of thyroxine, a hormone produced by the thyroid that regulates metabolism. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): Produced by the pituitary gland, TSH stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones, which are critical for regulating metabolism, energy, and overall bodily functions.
These tests provide a comprehensive view of your metabolic health, reproductive function, and thyroid activity, helping identify potential issues that may need attention.
