Testosterone is a sex hormone that helps male features develop over time. Women also have this hormone as it is made in their ovaries and adrenal glands. Total testosterone measures the total level of testosterone in the body, which is one of the factors responsible for regulating sex drive, bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and production of red blood cells and sperm.
Both men and women can benefit from taking MLD’s Total Testosterone At Home test. If you are experiencing symptoms of high or low testosterone levels, (see chart above), take this test to determine testosterone’s role in your overall health.
Please prepare to test first thing in the morning. Be sure to drink plenty of water before testing! Being well hydrated will help increase blood flow and improve the testing experience.

Free testosterone is the unbound form of testosterone in the body. 98% of the testosterone found in the body is bound to either sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) or albumin. This is referred to as “bound testosterone”. The other 2% that is leftover is known as “free testosterone”.
Total testosterone represents the total amount of testosterone found in the body – including free and bound testosterone.
