- Growth Hormone Blood Test$64.82
A single fasting growth hormone (GH) level is of limited value. The secretion of GH is episodic and pulsatile. GH has a half-life of 20 to 25 minutes. Testing for growth hormone deficiency or excess is best done as part of a dynamic test involving specific stimuli (see the online Endocrine Appendices: Growth Hormone Stimulation and Growth Hormone Suppression). Insulin-like growth factor-1 can also be useful in assessing growth hormone status.

This is the most cost effective testosterone test panel that takes the least amount of time to perform and that includes 5 important tests: 1- Total testosterone, 2- Calculated free testosterone, 3- Bioavailable (unbound) testosterone, 4- Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), and albumin. Testosterone upper limit under 1,500 ng/dL (ECLIA, immunoassay). It is accurate for most men using or not using TRT . For men expecting very high testosterone blood levels over 1,500 ng/dL or low total T below 250 ng/dL, the LC/MS testosterone test is more appropiate but it takes a few more days to perform.
Learn More - Bodybuilder Blood Test Panel- Beginner$151.06
This is a simple bodybuilder test panel for those who do not require Cystatin-C or GGT tests. The panel includes:
- Complete Blood Count (Immune Cells, Red Blood Cells, and Hematocrit)
- Complete Metabolic Panel (Blood sugar, electrolytes, kidney and liver function)
- Lipids (LDL, HDL, and Triglycerides)
- Testosterone, Total LC/MS and Free Testosterone by Equilibrium Dialysis
- Ultrasensitve Estradiol (Only Test Accurate in Men)
- Testosterone, Free (Equilibrium Dialysis) and Total, MS$45.15
THIS IS THE MOST AFFORDABLE TESTOSTERONE TEST IN THE U.S. The most accurate way to measure total testosterone is with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. This panel also shows free testosterone percent by equilibrium dialysis and free testosterone calculated from percent free T. This test is more accurate for low and high testosterone blood levels (for men who expect high testosterone blood levels over 1,500 ng/dL, women, and children who usually have low T levels). It has no interferences with supplements or anabolics. Note: Results may take 5-7 business days. For a faster turnaround, choose this test instead: Testosterone, Free, Bioavailable and Total (With Lower & Upper Limit) plus SHBG
