Our specially devised panels for Male health are the ultimate tool for the modern healthcare practitioner looking for a comprehensive review of a client’s vitality and health that includes sexual health markers.

To create these panels, we have used the principal biomarkers from our best-selling Signature Inspect test and added important key biomarkers for those looking to include additional endocrine, sex hormone and cardiovascular profiles to their client investigations.

FDX Men Inspect identifies the status of over 85 biomarkers including hormones, homocysteine and fasting insulin plus we have added more comprehensive markers to assess function including thyroid, iron, blood sugar management, enzyme status and cholesterol function.
