Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Test
Check your hormone balance from the comfort of home
Understand the link between your hormones and your wellbeing
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a protein made by the liver that binds to hormones like testosterone and oestrogen, controlling how much of them are available for your body to use.
Our simple at-home SHBG blood test helps you understand whether your levels are in balance, and can support investigations into conditions like PCOS, low testosterone, hormonal imbalance, and liver or thyroid issues.
