Hormones are your body's chemical messengers, influencing almost every bodily process. Imbalances can lead to a wide range of symptoms affecting both men and women. The Smartblood Hormone Test is designed for anyone experiencing fatigue, mood swings, changes in libido, weight fluctuations, or fertility concerns, offering a clear picture of your current hormonal health. It's truly remarkable that such a detailed hormonal assessment can be performed so simply and comfortably with the Tasso device.

What's Included & Why Each Marker Matters for Your Hormonal Health:

Your Smartblood Hormone Test provides a comprehensive analysis of 11 key biomarkers, offering a holistic view of your endocrine system:

• Testosterone:

  • What it is: A primary male sex hormone, also present in smaller amounts in women.

  • Why it's important to test:

    • For Men: Crucial for libido, muscle mass, bone density, energy, and mood. Low levels can cause fatigue, reduced sex drive, and muscle loss.

    • For Women: Important for ovarian function, bone strength, and libido. Imbalances can contribute to symptoms like acne, hair loss, and menstrual irregularities.

• SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin):

  • What it is: A protein produced by the liver that binds to sex hormones like testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and estradiol, transporting them in the blood.

  • Why it's important to test: SHBG levels influence how much of your hormones are "free" (bioavailable) and active. High SHBG can mean less free testosterone, even if total testosterone is normal, impacting symptoms for both men and women.

• Albumin:

  • What it is: The most abundant protein in blood plasma, produced by the liver. It binds to various substances, including hormones, transporting them throughout the body.

  • Why it's important to test: While primarily a marker of liver and kidney function, albumin also plays a role in binding and transporting hormones like testosterone. Its levels are used in calculating free testosterone.

• Free Testosterone Calculated:

  • What it is: The portion of testosterone that is not bound to SHBG or albumin, making it biologically active and available for your cells to use.

  • Why it's important to test: Provides a more accurate assessment of your body's active testosterone levels compared to total testosterone alone, particularly useful when SHBG levels are abnormal.

• LH (Luteinizing Hormone):

  • What it is: A hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in reproductive function.

  • Why it's important to test:

    • For Men: Stimulates testosterone production in the testes.

    • For Women: Triggers ovulation and stimulates the corpus luteum to produce progesterone. Testing helps evaluate fertility issues, menstrual irregularities, and pituitary function.

• FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone):

  • What it is: A hormone produced by the pituitary gland, vital for sexual development and function.

  • Why it's important to test:

    • For Men: Stimulates sperm production.

    • For Women: Stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles before ovulation. Testing helps assess fertility, ovarian reserve (in women), and testicular function (in men).

• Prolactin:

  • What it is: A hormone primarily associated with lactation and breast development, produced by the pituitary gland.

  • Why it's important to test: High levels (hyperprolactinemia) can cause irregular periods, infertility, reduced libido, and breast discharge (galactorrhea) in both sexes. It can also indicate a pituitary tumor.

• FAI (Free Androgen Index):

  • What it is: A calculated ratio used to estimate the amount of bioavailable testosterone, taking into account total testosterone and SHBG levels.

  • Why it's important to test: Offers a more practical way to assess androgen status and activity, particularly useful in conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in women or hypogonadism in men.

• DHEAS (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate):

  • What it is: An androgen (male hormone) produced by the adrenal glands, a precursor to testosterone and estrogen.

  • Why it's important to test: Elevated levels can indicate adrenal gland disorders (like adrenal tumors or hyperplasia) or PCOS in women. Low levels can be associated with adrenal insufficiency or age-related decline.

• Magnesium:

  • What it is: An essential mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions, including energy production, muscle and nerve function, and hormone regulation.

  • Why it's important to test: Magnesium deficiency can impact hormone production and sensitivity, contributing to symptoms like fatigue, muscle cramps, and mood disturbances that overlap with hormonal imbalances.

• Cortisol:

  • What it is: Often called the "stress hormone," produced by the adrenal glands. Levels fluctuate throughout the day.

  • Why it's important to test: Chronic stress and cortisol imbalances can significantly affect other hormone levels (e.g., thyroid, sex hormones), impacting energy, sleep, mood, and overall well-being. (Note: For best accuracy, your sample should be taken between 8 am and 10 am).
