Understanding Your Hormone Health: The DHT Free Test
Many South African men experience frustrating health changes – unexplained hair thinning, concerns about prostate health, or shifts in energy and vitality – without understanding the hormonal factors at play. If you’ve been wondering about the underlying causes of these changes, the Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Free Test provides the clarity you need to take control of your health journey.
What Does the DHT Free Test Measure?
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a powerful male hormone derived from testosterone that plays crucial roles in your body. The “Free” DHT test specifically measures the active, unbound form of this hormone that’s readily available to your tissues. Unlike total DHT measurements, this test gives you the most accurate picture of how much active hormone is actually affecting your health.
Using advanced LC-MS/MS technology combined with equilibrium dialysis, we ensure the highest level of accuracy in measuring your free DHT levels. This precision matters because even small changes in free DHT can significantly impact your hair health, prostate function, and overall wellness.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Progressive hair thinning or male pattern baldness
- Concerns about prostate health or urinary changes
- Changes in sexual health or libido
- Unexplained changes in body composition
- Monitoring hormone therapy effectiveness
- Family history of hormone-related conditions
Many men in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban find that understanding their DHT levels provides the missing piece in their health puzzle.
