About this test

Testosterone is bound to proteins in the blood which inactivate it. We can account for this to calculate the amount of "free" testosterone which is actually available for your body. This is a more accurate measure than total testosterone alone. For women we calculate the free androgen index (FAI).

The Free and Bioavailable Testosterone Test is the upgraded version of the Testosterone Blood Test, chosen with the "Upgrade" option on that page (+£9.00 on the standard test; listed by Selph at £56.00 as a standalone panel).
