Female Hormone Test

Female Hormone Test is part of BeatsWell Labs and an extension of your annual Labs blood test with a personalized Protocol.

Estradiol (E2)is the main form of estrogen and plays a central role in your menstrual cycle, fertility, bone health, and overall hormonal balance.

FSH(follicle-stimulating hormone) provides insight into ovarian function and can help better understand changes around the cycle, perimenopause, and menopause.

SHBGdetermines how much testosterone and estrogen are actually available to your body. Therefore, a normal testosterone level doesn't always tell the whole story.

Total testosteroneis also important for women and contributes to energy, muscle strength, libido, and well-being, among other things.

Zincsupports normal hormone balance and is involved in the production and function of various hormones.

We have carefully selected this composition. Not the most markers, but the most meaningful for women who want insight into their cycle and testosterone status.

FSH shows where you are in the perimenopausal transition. Estradiol measures your primary estrogen. SHBG binds both estradiol and testosterone, making it crucial for the bioactive fraction.

Testosterone: often overlooked in women. Women produce testosterone in their ovaries and adrenal glands, and the decline after 40 can affect energy, libido, muscle mass, and cognition. Through the bioactive testosterone fraction (clinically known as FAI, Free Androgen Index), you gain more insight than with a direct free-testosterone measurement, which is unreliable in regular labs.

Zinc: a cofactor for hormonal balance and skin health, essential for women who pay attention to their hormone balance.

What you won't find here: progesterone. That measurement is cycle-day dependent (peak around day 21) and cannot be reliably interpreted on an arbitrary collection day. For anyone on hormonal contraception, the value is suppressed anyway.

This test is an extension of BeatsWell Labs. You order it in addition to your annual subscription, after which the results are immediately processed in your Protocol.

With the BeatsWell Edit, we take the research off your hands. You choose with confidence: every test is carefully composed for clinical value and reliability. Read heremore about how we select.

This test will be added to your annual BeatsWell Labsblood draw.

At your appointment at the blood collection center, one extra tube of blood will be automatically drawn. No extra needle stick, no extra visit.

The lab will process your sample within a few working days. We will send you an email as soon as the results are available.

Shortly thereafter, we will incorporate the values into your personal Protocol, with concrete actions for nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle.

What we measure in this package, and why it matters:

SHBG: the protein that binds and inactivates both estradiol and testosterone. Too high and your hormones are stuck, causing fatigue and low libido despite normal levels. Too low indicates insulin resistance or liver burden.

Estradiol (E2): your primary estrogen. Determines cycle, skin, bone strength, and mood. Drops sharply around perimenopause and explains many of the associated complaints.

FSH: shows where you are in the perimenopause transition. Rises as the ovaries produce less estrogen.

Total Testosterone: essential for women too for energy, libido, muscle mass, and cognition. Drops sharply after 40. Often overlooked in most tests.

Zinc: cofactor for hormone production and skin health. Often too low due to diet or stress. Deficiency causes acne, brittle nails, and slow recovery.

Bioactive Testosterone Fraction: how much testosterone your body can actually use. Clinically the most important marker. Calculated from total testosterone divided by SHBG. Clinically known as the Free Androgen Index or FAI.

What we deliberately don't measure, and why:

Progesterone: cycle-day dependent, peaks around day 21. On an arbitrary collection day, it provides an unreliable value. Suppressed anyway for anyone on hormonal contraception. A waste of your money for unusable data.

Free Testosterone (direct measurement): notoriously unreliable in regular labs, especially in women with lower absolute values and thus more measurement noise. We calculate it from testosterone and SHBG. That is the global clinical standard.

LH: as a standalone marker for perimenopause, LH adds little beyond FSH. A waste of your money as an extra marker.

TSH: this is already measured in your Labs basic panel.

This is a preventive health test, not a medical diagnostic examination.

If you have concerns or complaints, always consult your general practitioner or specialist. This test is available for individuals aged 18 and older.

Your blood sample will be processed at a certified EU lab. Your data will be processed in a GDPR-compliant manner.
