Hormones
26 markers in this category
17-OH Progesterone
17-OH-progesterone is a substance in the adrenal gland that serves as an intermediate product in the making of cortisol; the enzyme 21-hydroxylase converts it into 11-deoxycortisol.
ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone)
ACTH is a hormone from the pituitary gland that tells your adrenal glands to produce cortisol.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
In the ovaries of women after puberty, anti-Müllerian hormone, AMH for short, is important for the growth and maturation of the egg sacs, in which eggs mature, according to the NVKC.
Androstenedione
Androstenedione is a hormone your body uses to produce both estrogen and testosterone.
Calcitonin
Calcitonin is a thyroid hormone involved in calcium regulation and bone health.
Cortisol
Cortisol plays an important role in women's hormonal balance. Chronic stress may disrupt menstrual cycles, affect fertility, and influence mood. Monitoring supports a comprehensive hormonal health picture.
DHEA-S
DHEA-S serves as a precursor to oestrogen and testosterone in women. Monitoring supports understanding of adrenal health, hormonal balance, and age-related changes.
DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)
DHT is an androgen that, even in small amounts, may influence skin health, hair growth, and hormonal balance in women. Elevated levels could suggest conditions such as PCOS.
Dopamine (Urine)
Dopamine influences mood, motivation, and reward processing. Hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle may affect dopamine balance, making monitoring valuable for women's wellness.
Estradiol (E2)
Estradiol (E2) is the primary estrogen guiding your menstrual cycle, fertility, and menopausal transition. Fluctuating levels may indicate changes in ovarian function.
Estrone (E1)
Estrone (E1) becomes your primary estrogen during and after menopause, produced mainly in fat tissue. Monitoring E1 levels may provide insight into your menopausal transition.
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) drives egg maturation and is a key indicator of ovarian reserve and menopausal status. Rising levels may signal your body is working harder to stimulate ovulation.
Free Testosterone
Free testosterone is the bioavailable fraction important for women's energy, mood, libido, and muscle tone. While present in smaller amounts than in men, balanced levels support overall wellbeing.
IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor)
IGF-1 plays an important role in women's health, supporting bone density, tissue repair, and hormonal balance. Monitoring this growth factor can provide valuable insight into your overall well-being.
IGF-BP3
IGF-BP3 is the main transport protein for IGF-1 and plays a role in bone health and tissue maintenance.
Inhibin B
Inhibin B is produced by developing ovarian follicles and may reflect your ovarian reserve and reproductive potential. This marker is particularly valuable for women exploring fertility or monitoring hormonal health.
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
LH is a key reproductive hormone that triggers ovulation and supports the menstrual cycle. Monitoring LH can provide valuable insight into your cycle regularity, fertility potential, and overall hormonal balance.
Melatonin
Melatonin regulates your sleep-wake cycle and may influence hormonal balance throughout the menstrual cycle. For women, quality sleep is closely connected to mood, energy, and reproductive health.
PTH (Parathyroid Hormone)
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) helps regulate calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for bone health. For women, PTH balance may be particularly relevant during hormonal transitions such as menopause.
Parathyroid Hormone (intact)
Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium, which is especially important for women's bone health across all life stages. Monitoring PTH can provide insight into bone density maintenance, particularly during and after menopause.
Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone is the precursor to progesterone, estrogen, and other hormones vital to women's health. Monitoring this "mother hormone" can provide foundational insight into your overall hormonal production capacity.
Progesterone
According to the NVKC, progesterone is a hormone that readies the womb lining after ovulation for the implantation of a possible fertilised egg.
Prolactin
Prolactin is essential for lactation and plays a broader role in menstrual cycle regulation and fertility.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
Your SHBG value tells you how much of your testosterone circulates bound, and so is inactive in your tissues.
