Premium Testosterone Test
Premium Testosterone Test
Find out in 5 days whether your fatigue could be due to your testosterone level – from home, without a waiting room. Optional: Medical interpretation – appointment often as soon as the next day.
- Secure payment at Adon Health
These laboratory values are measured
7 values instead of one number
Finally, clarity instead of guesswork: Only 1–2% of your testosterone is free and therefore usable by your body – the rest is bound to transport proteins such as SHBG and albumin. A total testosterone level in the “normal range” can therefore be misleading: If SHBG is elevated, for example, too little effective testosterone remains. Our premium test therefore measures 7 relevant laboratory values: total and free testosterone, SHBG, albumin, free androgen index, LH and PSA, analyzed in a certified German partner laboratory.
This gives you the complete picture, not just a single data point.
Important: Our test kits are suitable exclusively for men. The tests themselves do not constitute a diagnosis or therapy. Whether treatment is carried out is solely the responsibility of the treating physicians.
Independent partner doctors who take you seriously
If you wish, specialized doctors will review your levels and symptoms together with you—without being dismissed or pressured to justify yourself. Together with the independent doctor, you decide how to proceed and whether a treatment (e.g., TRT if medically indicated) can be started; no one will pressure you into treatment.
Possible symptoms of testosterone deficiency:
- Constant fatigue, even after enough sleep
- Lack of motivation: things that used to be easy for you now take effort
- Poor sleep despite tiredness
- Irritability or low mood
- Less interest in sex, less frequent morning erections
- Less strength and muscle loss despite training
Blood draw from the upper arm instead of a finger prick: Tasso blood collection device worth €19.90 included.
With the Tasso device, you can easily collect your sample at home. You place it on your shoulder or upper arm, press a button, and the device collects the blood in a vial itself.
Advantages:
- No finger pricks, no squeezing. You don't have to squeeze blood from your finger.
- Sufficient sample volume, even for multiple tests.
- Fewer errors during collection. The device takes care of the most difficult part.
- For anyone who doesn't like needles. You won't see the lancets.

Men share their experiences with Adon Health
Excellent 4.6 / 5
Finally taken seriously: What men say about Adon Health








Because a number alone is not an answer.
Our test measures seven relevant values, including free testosterone and SHBG, analyzed at the certified German partner laboratory. Blood collection at home in just a few minutes, results in 3–5 business days: no appointment, no travel, no waiting room.
Total testosterone
The total amount of testosterone in your blood – bound and free. The starting point for any assessment, but not an answer in itself.
SHBG
The protein that binds testosterone in the blood, thereby determining how much of it is available to exert its effects. If SHBG is too high or too low, your total testosterone level may appear "normal" even though your body does not have enough available.
Free testosterone (calculated)
The unbound fraction that actually reaches your cells. This is usually the crucial value—calculated from total testosterone, SHBG, and albumin.
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
The regulatory hormone from the brain that stimulates testosterone production in the testicles. It can show where the cause of a low level lies – in the testicles or in the regulation. Also important when it comes to fertility.
Albumin
The second transport protein for testosterone – necessary to precisely calculate your free testosterone. It also provides an indication of liver and nutritional status.
Free Androgen Index (FAI) (calculated)
The ratio of testosterone to SHBG. Particularly helpful when total testosterone alone does not provide a clear picture.
PSA
The marker for your prostate health. Good to know – and medically important before any therapy is even considered.
The Adon Certainty Guarantee
A blood test is a matter of trust. And trust is earned not with promises, but with commitments we stand by. That is why we triple-guarantee your first test:
1. Replacement kit guarantee: Your sample counts – or we repeat it free of charge.
Not every capillary blood sample is successful the first time. If your sample cannot be analyzed in the lab – for whatever reason – we will send you a new test kit free of charge. No questions asked, no additional costs.
2. 14-day money-back guarantee.
Change your mind? Cancel within 14 days and receive a full refund.
3. 3-day doctor's consultation guarantee.
Certainty should not have to wait. If you would like to book a doctor's consultation after receiving your results (optional, for a fee), you will get your appointment with one of our independent partner doctors within 3 business days – instead of waiting weeks in the waiting room.

Do you have any questions?
Here is an overview of the most frequently asked questions and answers.
A testosterone test at the family doctor only costs €25–30 – why should I pay more here?
A testosterone test at the family doctor only costs €25–30 – why should I pay more here?
That’s true, a simple test is cheaper there—but it usually only measures total testosterone. That alone tells you very little: only free testosterone, SHBG, and other values show how much testosterone your body can actually use. Our test determines 7 relevant values in a single go. Elsewhere, the process often ends even when the values are abnormal—it’s “due to stress,” no time, no specialization. With us, you can discuss your results directly with a doctor who specializes in men’s health and seriously evaluates values and symptoms, and can initiate therapy (e.g., TRT) if necessary.
And what comes next? I don’t want to fall into a costly trap.
And what comes next? I don’t want to fall into a costly trap.
Nothing happens without your decision – no subscription, no automatic recurring costs. After the test, you get your results, that’s it. If you want to discuss them with a doctor, the consultation costs approx. €90–100 (optional, can also be booked afterwards). And if the doctors consider treatment medically advisable and you decide to go ahead with it: A full year, including all check-ups and medication, starts at approx. €900 – we will lay this out transparently beforehand, so you can make your decision with full figures, not surprises.
How do I know this is legitimate? A lot is promised on the internet.
How do I know this is legitimate? A lot is promised on the internet.
Fair question – that is exactly why we operate as transparently as possible: The analysis is performed by a certified German partner laboratory, the consultations are conducted by independent German doctors specializing in men’s health, and Adon Health is scientifically advised by a medical advisory board of specialist doctors and professors, including Prof. Dr. Zitzmann. Our co-founder is also a doctor. And over 300 men have reviewed us on Trustpilot: 4.6 out of 5 stars.
If a deficiency is found – will I have to inject for the rest of my life?
If a deficiency is found – will I have to inject for the rest of my life?
No. The test is a measurement, not a treatment decision. Whether treatment is an option at all, what form it takes, and for how long – you can discuss this at your leisure with a doctor if you wish, and the decision remains yours at all times. Many men also simply use the test for peace of mind: knowing what’s going on is an outcome in itself. And topics such as wanting children or potentially stopping treatment later are exactly what that doctor’s consultation is for – that’s what it’s there for.
Is a self-test like that with just a few drops of blood even reliable?
Is a self-test like that with just a few drops of blood even reliable?
Yes – capillary blood analyses are an established laboratory procedure, evaluated according to the same standard as an in-office blood draw. To ensure a successful sample, the kit includes step-by-step instructions, and with the Tasso option, the collection is almost painless and takes place on the shoulder instead of the fingertip. Should your sample still be uninterpretable in the lab for any reason, you will receive a replacement kit free of charge – your measurement counts, or we will repeat it.
