Most women who ask their GP about testosterone are told their results are fine, but standard testing rarely includes free testosterone - the fraction that is actually biologically active. And it almost never includes SHBG, the protein that can suppress testosterone even when total levels appear normal.
If SHBG is elevated - raised by the pill, chronic stress, or certain types of HRT - total testosterone can look fine while free, bioavailable testosterone is functionally depleted.
That's why you might be experiencing:
→ Fatigue that rest doesn't fix
→ Reduced focus and drive
→ Brain fog
→ Physical performance plateaus
Vitall's Female Ultimate Hormones test panel includes total testosterone, free testosterone (calculated), SHBG, oestradiol, FSH, LH and DHEA-S and MORE... Giving you a complete picture of your androgen status from a home blood test.
No GP appointment. Results within 24 hours.
