Information about Health Check Essential for Men
What does this health check measure?
The Health Check Essential for Men measures 34 biomarkers: everything in the generic Essential package, plus testosterone. You’ll get insight into your blood sugar, cholesterol, liver and kidney function, thyroid, iron and blood status, inflammation and your testosterone. A general blood test usually leaves testosterone out, but for men it matters.
Why a men's health check instead of a general blood test?
A general blood test gives you a decent overview, but it isn’t built with male physiology in mind. Testosterone plays a role in your energy, muscle mass, libido, mood and recovery. When levels drop, it tends to happen slowly. Most men put it down to stress, age or a busy life, so it can go unnoticed for years.
Low energy, difficulty losing weight, slower recovery after exercise? Low testosterone can play a role, but without testing your blood you simply can’t know. This health check gives you that insight, alongside a broad picture of your blood sugar, heart and blood vessels, liver, kidneys and more.
Who is this health check for?
For men who want to take control of their health. Whether you’ve noticed changes in your energy, fitness or weight, or you just want to know your numbers. Particularly worth doing from age 30 onwards, as testosterone levels decline by around 1 to 2 percent each year after that.
Essential or Premium: which should you choose?
The Health Check Essential for Men is a good starting point for your first preventive blood test. Want to go further? The Health Check Premium for Men includes everything in the Essential package for Men, plus HbA1c (your average blood sugar over the past few months), free T4 (a more complete view of your thyroid), SHBG (to better interpret your testosterone), PSA (the prostate marker), and vitamin D and B12.
How does it work?
No GP referral needed. After you order, our BIG-registered doctor takes care of the lab request, which you activate in the app. You have your blood drawn at a collection centre near you, with or without an appointment. Fast for 10 hours beforehand and come before 10:00 am, as testosterone is highest in the morning and best assessed then. Within 2 to 3 business days your results are in the app, explained in plain language and with a medical report from our doctor.
What's included in this blood test?
Blood sugar and diabetes risk (glucose) | Heart and cardiovascular health (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-HDL, cholesterol/HDL ratio, triglycerides) | Liver function (ALT, AST, GGT, albumin, ALP) | Kidney function (creatinine, eGFR, sodium, potassium) | Thyroid (TSH) | Hormones (testosterone) | Iron and blood status (ferritin, haemoglobin, hematocrits, red blood cells, MCV, RDW, white blood cells, lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, platelets) | Minerals (calcium) | Inflammation (high-sensitivity CRP) | Uric acid (urate)
Before sampling or examination
You have your blood drawn at an accredited collection centre near you. Our locations page shows every collection centre on a map, and whether you can walk in or need to book an appointment. You choose your location during checkout. Within about 30 minutes of ordering, you’ll receive an email with your activation code. Log in at app.zample.com and enter the code, and your request will be ready digitally at the collection centre. You don’t need a paper form, just a valid ID. The blood draw takes only a few minutes, and you’ll be notified as soon as your results are ready. Does your test measure glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides or testosterone? Then come fasting: no food for 10 hours, only water. Preferably have your blood drawn before 10:00 am, as levels such as hormones and iron fluctuate during the day. Are your iron levels or ferritin being measured? Then don’t take iron supplements that day. Are your thyroid levels being measured? Then take your thyroid medication only after the blood draw and avoid high-biotin supplements beforehand. If female hormones are measured and your cycle is regular, preferably have your blood drawn on day 2 to 5 of your cycle. Take any other medication as usual with a little water, unless your doctor advises otherwise. You can see which markers your test measures on the product page and in your confirmation email.
