At-Home Health MOT

• Testosterone level: testosterone is a key sex hormone that plays an important role in male fertility, libido (sex drive), and sexual function (i.e. getting and maintaining erections).
• Blood lipid level: this includes cholesterol and other fat levels. Abnormal lipid levels are linked to heart disease, so it’s important to be aware of the level of lipids in your blood. Once you are, you can fine-tune your diet and lifestyle to maintain healthy cholesterol and lipid levels.
• Vitamin D level: vitamin D keeps muscles, bones, and teeth healthy. Studies suggest it also helps to support the immune system and may even be beneficial against cancer.
• Ferritin level: your ferritin level can tell you if there is enough iron in your blood. Iron is key to maintaining energy levels. A lack of iron in the blood is often associated with fatigue (excessive tiredness), and if there is too little iron in the blood then this can cause anaemia.
• Liver function: the levels of particular enzymes in the blood can indicate whether your liver is working well or if it’s damaged. The liver plays a vital role in detoxifying the blood, so it’s a good idea to make sure it is functioning as it should.
• Kidney function: kidneys help to get rid of waste and extra fluid from the body. A blood test can measure the levels of salts in your body, as well as your creatinine and eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) to determine if your kidneys are working properly.
• Thyroid function: the thyroid is an important gland that helps to regulate the body’s metabolism. A blood test can measure the levels of thyroxine and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in your body to determine if your thyroid is overactive or underactive.
• Magnesium level: magnesium plays an important role in many of the body’s processes, including regulating blood sugar levels and blood pressure. It also contributes to the production of protein, bone, and DNA.
• Zinc level: the body relies on zinc, an essential mineral, to support a normal immune system. It’s also used to make proteins and DNA, which is important as these are found in every cell throughout the body.
• B12 and folate level: vitamin B12 and folate help to keep blood cells and the nervous system healthy. If you don’t have enough of these nutrients then B12 or folate deficiency can occur. This can cause anaemia, which can then lead to extreme tiredness and a lack of energy.

• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) level: SHBG is a protein made by the liver that plays a role in regulating testosterone levels and subsequently libido (sex drive) in men.
• Free Androgen Index: androgens are hormones that are crucial for male development. A good balance of androgens is necessary to maintain overall health and a normal sex drive.
• Testosterone level: testosterone is important for maintaining male fertility, sex drive, muscle mass, and sexual function (i.e. the ability to get erections).

1. Wash your hands in warm water for 4 minutes and then dry them.
2. Use the lancet provided to prick your finger and collect a blood sample.
3. Post your sample to our accredited partner laboratory using the pre-paid envelope included with your blood test.

• Tiredness: persistent feelings of tiredness can be caused by low vitamin B12, low ferritin, low vitamin D, low testosterone, or thyroid problems. To help you work out if your fatigue is being caused by one of these conditions, the At-Home Health MOT assesses your ferritin level (to test for anaemia) as well as your testosterone level and thyroid function.
• Sexual function and fertility: known as the "male hormone" testosterone is a hormone that helps to support male fertility and a healthy libido (sex drive). If you’re experiencing erectile dysfunction or fertility issues, it’s worth getting your testosterone level measured with a blood test kit to see if low testosterone is contributing to these difficulties.
• Long-term health: proper organ function is crucial for long-term health, which is why our At-Home Health MOT includes a liver and kidney function test to see if these vital organs are performing normally, as well as a blood test for cholesterol (and other fats) to assess the health of your heart.
• Muscle and bone health: vitamin D helps to maintain muscle and bone health. However, about 1 in 5 people in the UK are low on vitamin D - especially those who spend a lot of time indoors or cover the majority of their skin while outside. The At-Home Health MOT (as well as the Vitamin D Test Kit ) can measure your vitamin D levels and indicate if you’d benefit from taking a vitamin D supplement to help you maintain your muscle and bone health.
• Vitamin and mineral levels: vitamins and minerals are needed to keep the body healthy, which is why it’s important to make sure you have healthy levels of them in your body. The At-Home Health MOT measures your magnesium, zinc, ferritin, vitamin B12, and folate levels to give you a clear understanding of your nutrient levels and tell you if you should consider taking nutritional supplements to support your health.
