What's measured

Testosterone

Testosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in the development of secondary sex characteristics, fertility, muscle strength, and bone health.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)

SHBG is a type of protein produced by your liver, which is responsible for transporting testosterone and some other hormones through the bloodstream. SHBG levels that are too high or too low can be a sign that there is to much or or little amounts of certain hormones for your body to use.

Free Androgen Index (FAI)

The FAI is not a measure of a particular hormone, but a comparison of the total amount of testosterone in your blood compared to your levels of SHBG. FAI can help indicate how much free testosterone is available for your body to use.

Our process

How it all works?

step 1

Choose your test

The user or the partner selects one of Lola's existing tests, each assigned a unique code linking the test to the partner. This code ensures proper tracking for referrals, results access, or both, depending on the partnership type.

step 2

Choose a date/time for sample collection

The user schedules a sample collection during checkout, choosing from Lola's available options (at home, clinic visits) or opts for the partner to perform the blood draw if their partnership supports it.

step 3

Blood sample taken and sent to Lab

Samples are analysed at our CQC-compliant and NHS-standard labs, providing accurate and detailed breakdowns for each test.

step 4

Personalised Doctor Review

Results are made available through Lola's intuitive partner portal, complete with actionable insights and customisable reporting options for the partner and user.

What gets tested

Complete panel for your health

31 biomarkers

Blood Analysis

Albumin: The main protein in blood plasma, important for maintaining blood volume and pressure. Why measure: To assess liver function and overall protein levels.

Ferritin: A protein that stores and releases iron, indicating the body's iron reserves. Why measure: To evaluate iron levels and diagnose iron deficiency or overload.

Bone Health

Calcium: A crucial mineral for maintaining bone strength and supporting various bodily functions. Why measure: Essential for bone health and metabolic processes.

Corrected Calcium: Calcium level adjusted based on albumin concentration to provide a more accurate measurement of calcium status. Why measure: To ensure accurate assessment of calcium levels in conditions affecting albumin.

Cardiovascular Health

Cholesterol: A fatty substance essential for building cell membranes and producing hormones. Why measure: To evaluate overall cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health.

HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol: Known as "good" cholesterol, it helps lower the risk of cardiovascular disease by removing excess cholesterol from the bloodstream. Why measure: To assess protective cardiovascular benefits and risk factors.

Chol:HDL Ratio:The ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol, indicating cardiovascular risk.Why measure:To evaluate heart disease risk and lipid balance.

HDL:Cholesterol Ratio: The ratio of HDL cholesterol to total cholesterol, providing insight into cardiovascular risk. Why measure: To gauge the balance between good and total cholesterol and assess cardiovascular health.

LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol: Referred to as "bad" cholesterol, it can lead to plaque buildup in arteries and increase cardiovascular risk. Why measure: To monitor and manage cardiovascular risk.

Non-LDL Cholesterol: This measurement represents total cholesterol minus LDL cholesterol, including other lipoproteins like HDL and VLDL. Why measure: It offers a clearer view of cardiovascular risk by highlighting potentially harmful cholesterol levels. Higher non-LDL cholesterol may indicate increased risk, making it important for monitoring heart health

Triglycerides: A type of fat in the blood that can contribute to coronary artery disease if levels are elevated. Why measure: To assess risk of heart disease and evaluate lipid management.

Diabetes

HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin): A blood biomarker that reflects the average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months. It is widely used to diagnose and monitor diabetes. Why measure: To manage and diagnose diabetes effectively.

Inflammation

HsCRP (High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein): A marker of inflammation that can indicate increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Why measure: To predict cardiovascular disease risk and inflammation levels.

Reproductive Hormones

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Regulates reproductive processes such as egg development in females and sperm production in males. Why Measure: To assess reproductive health and diagnose fertility issues.

Luteinising Hormone (LH): Regulates ovulation in females and testosterone production in males. Why Measure: To evaluate reproductive health and diagnose hormonal disorders.

Progesterone: A hormone that plays a role in reproductive health, hormone balance, and overall well-being. Why measure: To evaluate menstrual health, fertility, and pregnancy in women, and to assess hormonal balance and prostate health in men.

Prolactin: Involved in lactation and reproductive health. Why Measure: To assess lactation, pituitary function, and reproductive health.

Sex Steroid Hormones

DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone-Sulphate): An androgen precursor produced by the adrenal glands, which plays a role in the production of sex hormones and impacts various bodily functions. Why measure: To evaluate adrenal gland function, assess androgen status, and diagnose conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as adrenal insufficiency or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Oestradiol (Estradiol): A key form of estrogen important for regulating the menstrual cycle and reproductive health. Why Measure: To assess estrogen levels and diagnose hormonal disorders.

Testosterone: Main male sex hormone involved in male characteristics, muscle mass, and libido. Why Measure: To evaluate androgen levels and diagnose hormonal imbalances or conditions.

Free Testosterone (Calculated): The biologically active form of testosterone. Why Measure: To assess testosterone levels and diagnose hormonal imbalances.

Free Androgen Index (FAI): Ratio of total testosterone to SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin), indicating bioavailable testosterone. Why Measure: To evaluate androgen status and diagnose related hormonal disorders.

FAQ

All your questions. Answered.

Why do we offer more health markers at affordable prices?

We are dedicated to the importance of regular testing and understanding your body's changes over time. Limiting tests to a few markers or imposing high costs compromises this vital process.

Fingerprick testing presents significant challenges, which is why we exclusively offer samples collected by a phlebotomist at the most affordable prices. Our comprehensive testing includes a wide range of markers.

Join us in our mission to empower more people to gain meaningful health insights over time.

Why don't you offer fingerprick testing?

Fingerprick testing is both unreliable and often an unpleasant experience, as anyone who has tried to squeeze blood into small tubes will testify. Squeezing actually leads to invalid markers, as it affects the sample quality.

Additionally, due to the high volume of markers we offer, a fingerprick sample would further reduce the quality of the results. Therefore, we do not offer fingerprick testing.

Tell me more about the blood collection service

Once you have placed an order, we will contact you to find a suitable time and location for your blood sample collection. If you have any special requests, please let us know when we contact you.

The nurses/phlebotomists usually work in the NHS and work for Lola part-time for additional income. They are all very kind, experienced, and extremely well-vetted.

How should I prepare and what happens after the blood collection?

Before Your Blood Collection:

  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to make the blood draw easier.
  • Stay Warm: Use warm clothes or a heating pad to improve blood flow.
  • Pets: Keep pets away during the blood draw to avoid any interruptions.
  • Location: Choose a well-lit area, like a kitchen table or a comfy chair, for the procedure.
  • Special Needs: Inform us of any past issues or special requirements you may have.

After the Procedure:

  • Apply Pressure: Press the wound for at least 2 minutes to stop bleeding.
  • Keep Dressing On: Leave the dressing on for at least 1 hour to prevent infection.
  • Avoid Heavy Lifting: Don’t overuse your arm for the rest of the day to avoid strain.

Watch for These Signs:

  • Excessive Bruising: Apply pressure and ice. The bruising should subside in a few days.
  • Continued Pain: Use an ice pack for swelling. Persistent pain is rare but possible.
  • Continued Bleeding: Apply strong pressure for at least 10 minutes. Call 999 if you feel lightheaded.

Now, your blood sample will be sent by our phlebotomist to the NHS-accredited lab. Once processed, it will be reviewed by our doctors and will be sent to you with a tailored review.

How accurate are the tests?

We only use UK government-approved NHS labs for the blood analysis, ensuring the same high level of accuracy at 99.8%, provided the sample is posted the same day using our Tracked 24 service. The phlebotomist will post the sample for you when they leave.

For this reason, we aim to schedule blood sample collection appointments with you from Monday to Wednesday.

Does a doctor review my results?

Our team of doctors reviews all blood results and provides a comprehensive written analysis, highlighting any markers that fall outside the normal range.
