Hormones
26 markers in this category
17-OH Progesterone
17-OH Progesterone is a precursor hormone involved in cortisol and androgen synthesis.
ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone)
ACTH is the pituitary hormone responsible for triggering cortisol release from your adrenal glands.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
According to the NVKC, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) already plays a role before birth in forming the reproductive organs, and in women after puberty in the growth and maturation of the follicles, the egg sacs.
Androstenedione
Androstenedione is a precursor hormone converted into testosterone and estrogen. For active individuals, this marker may help assess hormonal pathways that influence muscle development, recovery, and overall physical performance.
Calcitonin
Calcitonin is a thyroid-produced hormone that regulates calcium and bone metabolism.
Cortisol
Cortisol reflects your body's recovery and stress load. For active individuals, monitoring cortisol helps identify overtraining, optimise recovery windows, and balance training intensity with adequate rest.
DHEA-S
DHEA-S is an anabolic precursor hormone that may influence recovery and performance. Active individuals benefit from monitoring adrenal reserve, especially during high training volumes.
DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)
DHT is a potent androgen derived from testosterone that may influence muscle development, recovery, and body composition. Active individuals benefit from understanding their full androgen profile.
Dopamine (Urine)
Dopamine drives motivation, focus, and reward response — qualities essential for physical performance. This urine test provides insight into catecholamine production and neurological readiness.
Estradiol (E2)
Estradiol (E2) plays a role in bone health, recovery, and joint protection for active individuals. Balanced estrogen levels may support training adaptation and injury prevention.
Estrone (E1)
Estrone (E1) is a weaker estrogen that may influence body composition and recovery in active individuals.
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a pituitary hormone that reflects reproductive and hormonal health in active individuals. Intense training could influence FSH levels through effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.
Free Testosterone
Free testosterone is the bioavailable form directly responsible for muscle protein synthesis, recovery, and physical drive. For active individuals, it may indicate your body's capacity for adaptation and performance.
IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor)
IGF-1 is a critical marker for active individuals and active individuals, as it plays a central role in muscle repair, tissue recovery, and training adaptation.
IGF-BP3
IGF-BP3 regulates the availability of IGF-1, a key growth factor for tissue repair and training adaptation.
Inhibin B
Inhibin B provides insight into gonadal health, which can influence hormonal balance, recovery capacity, and overall physical performance.
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
LH is a critical pituitary hormone for active individuals, as it regulates sex hormone production that influences recovery, body composition, and training adaptation.
Melatonin
Melatonin governs your sleep-wake cycle, and sleep is one of the most critical factors in physical recovery and performance.
PTH (Parathyroid Hormone)
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium and phosphorus, critical for bone strength and muscle function. For active individuals and active individuals, balanced PTH levels may support skeletal resilience and recovery.
Parathyroid Hormone (intact)
Parathyroid hormone is central to calcium regulation, which directly impacts bone integrity, muscle contraction, and recovery in active individuals. Monitoring PTH helps ensure your mineral metabolism supports peak physical performance.
Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone is the starting point for all steroid hormone production, including those critical for recovery, stress management, and performance.
Progesterone
Your progesterone value tells you whether you ovulated in this cycle, and for an athlete it is the first blood value to give away that the energy balance has become too tight.
Prolactin
Prolactin influences reproductive hormone balance and recovery capacity. For active individuals, monitoring prolactin can help identify hormonal disruptions that may affect training outcomes, sleep quality, and overall performance.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
Your SHBG value tells you how much of your testosterone circulates bound, and so is unavailable to your muscles and bones.
