Anyone have experience with at-home testosterone level tests?

Recently researched local clinics to get my test levels checked since I just turned 31 and never had any tests like this done. Of course immediately after googling anything you get bombarded with targeted ads so this morning I got an ad on instagram for this company and am a bit intrigued. I've seen ads for their food sensitivity tests before but this is the first time i'm hearing of at-home testosterone tests. Not sure how accurate a saliva test can be.

Anyone try this or a similar company before?

Dude - if you're doing an at-home test it's almost guaranteed you'll get prescribed something. It isn't like going to your doctor. These guys make money of TRT Rx's. They can get your labs and basically interpret them anyway they want.

I’ve done the everlywell before and the free t results from it seemed to line up consistently with a LabCorp test done about 8 weeks later. Can’t speak to the dhea-s, cortisol, or estradiol though I imagine they’d probably be equally as consistent(though I’ve heard there are certain estradiol tests that are inaccurate and others that are good). It’ll probably be cheaper to go through a clinic or doctor though. For my upcoming follow up it’ll only cost me $25 for a free and total T test, and I can add on any other tests for an additional cost which will almost certainly be less than trying to test through an at home test.

Why are a bunch of masculine men in their 20’s,30’s,40’s, and 50’s who want to maintain health, strength, and muscle mass interested in their T levels? Hmmm, that’s a good question.

They want your $.

they could potentially print out whatever levels they want as results if its like 5 guys doing some small mail order test results that test it "in house.

If the mail system is cheaper than your doctor long term, I would do the at home test (finger prick) literally right before you get actual blood work done by your doctor.

Make sure the results of both match up.

The doctors that go “you cried when your dog died last week? Better start taking this SSRI to rewire your brain. What?! And your kid won’t listen either? Bring him in and I’ll make sure he gets plenty of amphetamines.”



And yes, TRT clinics will hand it out like candy…but let’s not act like there aren’t tons of doctors pushing things that are worse.

Actually had a uncle I never even met pass away recently and leave me his fortune. Sent them all my personal and banking information just a few days ago. Should have the funds within the next 7 business days

Low test can cause a myriad of problems for men. I don't see the issue with knowing your levels

Lulz that truly not what my goal with this is. Sure, maybe when I turn 40 but at this very moment I have absolutely no interest in TRT, I simply want to know what my levels currently are.

This is a good point. I’d say it’s a great idea to establish a baseline in your early 30’s. I wouldn’t recommend jumping on unless you have crazy low numbers that you can legit pinpoint as being due to a medical condition and not lifestyle, but again starting to track it now is a good idea.
