Testosterone (Total) for Adult Males

The Total Testosterone test measures the entire amount of testosterone circulating in your bloodstream. This includes testosterone bound to proteins and "free" testosterone. As the primary male sex hormone, testosterone is the driving force behind physical strength, libido, and energy. Monitoring these levels is essential for men experiencing symptoms of "Low T" or those looking to optimize their hormonal health.
