Hormones
26 markers in this category
17-OH Progesterone
17-OH Progesterone is a precursor hormone involved in cortisol and androgen synthesis. For athletes, this marker may provide insight into how your body manages stress hormones and supports recovery and performance.
ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone)
ACTH is the pituitary hormone responsible for triggering cortisol release from your adrenal glands. For athletes, monitoring ACTH may help assess how your body adapts to training stress and supports recovery processes.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) reflects ovarian reserve and reproductive potential. For female athletes, monitoring AMH may help assess whether intense training regimens could be influencing hormonal and reproductive health.
Androstenedione
Androstenedione is a precursor hormone converted into testosterone and estrogen. For athletes, this marker may help assess hormonal pathways that influence muscle development, recovery, and overall athletic performance.
Calcitonin
Calcitonin is a thyroid-produced hormone that regulates calcium and bone metabolism. For athletes, monitoring calcitonin may help assess bone health and mineral balance, both of which are critical for injury prevention and performance.
Cortisol
Cortisol reflects your body's recovery and stress load. For athletes, 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. Athletes 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. Athletes benefit from understanding their full androgen profile.
Dopamine (Urine)
Dopamine drives motivation, focus, and reward response — qualities essential for athletic 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 athletes. Balanced estrogen levels may support training adaptation and injury prevention. Your healthcare provider can help determine whether your levels are optimal for your performance goals.
Estrone (E1)
Estrone (E1) is a weaker estrogen that may influence body composition and recovery in athletes. As it is primarily produced in fat tissue, levels could reflect energy balance and training status. Your healthcare provider can help contextualise your results.
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a pituitary hormone that reflects reproductive and hormonal health in athletes. Intense training could influence FSH levels through effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Your healthcare provider can help assess whether your training is affecting hormonal regulation.
Free Testosterone
Free testosterone is the bioavailable form directly responsible for muscle protein synthesis, recovery, and athletic drive. For athletes, it may indicate your body's capacity for adaptation and performance. Your healthcare provider can help assess whether your levels support your training goals.
IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor)
IGF-1 is a critical marker for athletes and active individuals, as it plays a central role in muscle repair, tissue recovery, and training adaptation. Tracking IGF-1 can help optimize your performance strategy.
IGF-BP3
IGF-BP3 regulates the availability of IGF-1, a key growth factor for tissue repair and training adaptation. For athletes, monitoring IGF-BP3 helps paint a complete picture of your body's recovery and growth mechanisms.
Inhibin B
Inhibin B provides insight into gonadal health, which can influence hormonal balance, recovery capacity, and overall athletic performance. For active individuals, reproductive hormone balance is often a factor in training outcomes.
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
LH is a critical pituitary hormone for athletes, as it regulates sex hormone production that influences recovery, body composition, and training adaptation. Monitoring LH can help detect overtraining-related hormonal disruption.
Melatonin
Melatonin governs your sleep-wake cycle, and sleep is one of the most critical factors in athletic recovery and performance. Monitoring melatonin can help identify whether your circadian rhythm supports optimal training adaptation.
PTH (Parathyroid Hormone)
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium and phosphorus, critical for bone strength and muscle function. For athletes 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 athletes. 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. For athletes, monitoring pregnenolone can help assess hormonal reserve under training demands.
Progesterone
Progesterone plays a role in recovery, sleep quality, and hormonal balance for active individuals. For female athletes, monitoring progesterone can help understand how training interacts with the menstrual cycle and overall performance.
Prolactin
Prolactin influences reproductive hormone balance and recovery capacity. For athletes, monitoring prolactin can help identify hormonal disruptions that may affect training outcomes, sleep quality, and overall performance.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) regulates free hormone availability in the body. For athletes, understanding SHBG may provide insight into how effectively testosterone supports muscle recovery, energy, and performance adaptation.
