Information about Testosterone test: measure your testosterone level
- Measures your total testosterone level in the blood (S-testosterone), the most important initial test when a deficiency is suspected.
- Provides insight into symptoms such as fatigue, reduced libido, mood disorders, or loss of muscle mass.
- Standalone test: no extensive package needed if you only want to check your testosterone specifically.
- Results assessed by BIG-registered physicians, with a clear explanation of your result.
For the most reliable result, have your blood drawn in the morning between 7 and 10 a.m., on an empty stomach. Testosterone follows a distinct diurnal rhythm with the highest values early in the morning, and a meal can temporarily lower your level by about thirty percent. A healthcare professional draws the blood from your arm; this usually takes only a few minutes.
What does this testosterone test measure?
This test measures your total serum testosterone (S-testosterone): both the testosterone bound to proteins and the small portion that circulates freely in your blood. For most questions, this total value is the logical first step. Is your result around a borderline value, or do your symptoms not correspond with the result? Then a supplementary test such as free testosterone or SHBG can provide more clarity.
Who is the testosterone test for?
This standalone testosterone test is for anyone who specifically wants to know where their testosterone level stands, without having to book a complete blood test. In men, a deficiency can manifest as reduced libido, fewer morning erections, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, or a lower mood. Testosterone in men drops by an average of 1 to 2 percent per year from the age of thirty, so testing becomes more relevant as you get older. In women, both low and high values can indicate a hormonal imbalance, for example with PCOS or around menopause. You do not need to have symptoms to book this test; many people test preventively to know their baseline value.
When should you choose the testosterone test rather than a complete blood test?
Do you only want to check your testosterone, for example because you have already had a complete blood test done or want to specifically rule out one symptom? Then this standalone testosterone test is the fastest and most affordable option. Do you want a broader picture of your health all at once, including cardiovascular values, liver, kidneys, and blood status? Then the Health Check Essential Men or Health Check Premium Men is the more logical choice: these packages contain testosterone in combination with many other markers for a complete picture.
How does it work?
You order the test online and make an appointment at a blood collection location near you. A healthcare professional draws the blood, and within 2 to 5 working days you receive your results clearly presented in our portal, with clear explanations and assessed by our doctors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral for this testosterone test?
No, you do not need a referral from your GP. You order the test directly from Zample and then activate your own digital application.
Do I need to be fasting for the testosterone test?
Yes. For a reliable result, do not eat or drink anything for at least 10 hours before the sample is taken, except for a glass of water. Preferably have the blood drawn between 7 and 10 a.m., as your testosterone level is highest and most representative at that time.
What if my testosterone level is abnormal?
A single abnormal result does not tell the whole story. In the event of a low or high value, we recommend repeating the test and discussing the result with your GP, especially if you also have symptoms. Our doctors always provide an explanation for your results.
Can I, as a woman, also take a testosterone test?
Yes. Testosterone also plays a role in women, for example in libido, muscle mass, and the menstrual cycle, and the value can also change around menopause. Both values that are too low and those that are too high can be relevant, for example, if PCOS is suspected.
What is the difference between a testosterone test and a test for free testosterone?
This test measures your total testosterone, including the part that is bound to proteins such as SHBG. Free testosterone measures only the small, directly active part. For most questions, total testosterone is the correct first test; Free testosterone is particularly useful as a supplement when a borderline value is reached.
How quickly will I receive the results of my testosterone test?
Usually within 2 to 5 working days after your blood draw, clearly presented in our portal and assessed by a BIG-registered physician.
Can I combine a testosterone test with a more extensive blood test?
Yes. If you prefer a comprehensive overview of your health in one go, the Essential Male Blood Test, for example, is a logical choice: that package contains testosterone along with 33 other markers.
What is the difference between a testosterone test and a self-test at the drugstore?
A self-test at the drugstore, for example, usually only provides an indicative result and is not always analyzed in an accredited laboratory. Our testosterone test is a full-fledged blood test, analyzed in an accredited laboratory and assessed by a BIG-registered physician, for a medically reliable result.
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.
