Blood tests

MansMatters are experts in providing specialist blood tests for men's health.

That's not to say we ignore the ladies and many partners choose to undergo our tests as well, but our focus is providing optimal testing for men, to act both as an early warning signal of future health problems as well as providing the most accurate results for medical problems when they exist.

What makes our blood tests different? 

Many clinics offer standard blood tests using basic biomarkers.

While these tests can provide some insights, they are not always precise and may not give a full picture of a person's health.

For example, the PSA test, commonly used for prostate cancer screening, has limitations and may not always provide reliable readings.

At MansMatters, we offer advanced testing options, including Stockholm 3 and Ploclarix, which provide more comprehensive insights. These tests have shown strong success rates in identifying potential issues, supporting more accurate health assessments

Anaemia (iron deficiency): Ensuring adequate iron levels is crucial for overall vitality.

Blood cell health: Early detection can help guide prompt medical intervention.

Bone health: Monitoring bone health is essential for preventing conditions like osteoporosis.

Cholesterol levels (potential artery plaque blockage): Keeping an eye on cholesterol levels can help prevent cardiovascular issues.

Clotting function: Detecting clotting issues early can be lifesaving.

Diabetes: Continuous monitoring helps manage blood sugar levels effectively.

Electrolyte levels: Maintaining the right balance of electrolytes is essential for various bodily functions.

Inflammatory markers: Identifying inflammation can signal underlying health concerns.

Gout: Early detection can aid in managing this painful condition.

Heart health: Regular blood tests can reveal factors that affect heart health.

Immune health: Detecting immune system irregularities is crucial for overall well-being.

Infection: Blood tests can help diagnose infections for better management.

Kidney function: Early detection is vital for preserving kidney function.

Liver function: Monitoring liver health is essential for overall well-being.

Nutritional deficiencies: Identifying deficiencies in nutrients like magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin B6, or B12 can guide dietary adjustments.

Male profile hormone levels: Detecting hormonal levels can explain symptoms like low mood, low energy, low libido, and erectile dysfunction.

Thyroid function: Monitoring thyroid function helps regulate mood, energy levels, and overall metabolism.

How do blood tests combine with your Medical DNA tests?

Blood tests complement Medical DNA testing, and many clients opt for both, or choose the Advanced Prostate Health Check or Annual Male Health Check.

Our medical DNA test focuses on genetic biomarkers, assessing over 300 different indicators from your genes and epigenetics. Unlike heritage DNA tests, it provides insights into your health potential. This test is particularly valuable for those who want to monitor their health proactively. It can help identify genetic predispositions and areas for improvement in your health:

  • Potential risks for conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and cataracts
  • Your risk of injury may increase, along with intolerances such as dairy or gluten 
  •  Deficiencies in specific minerals and vitamins can be identified, potentially reducing the need for general multivitamins
  •  Your body's response to mental well-being and stress

Why should I undertake these tests?

 

While DNA tests provide insights into your genetic predispositions, blood tests offer real-time data about your current bodily state.

Regular blood tests can be helpful for fine-tuning your dietary and exercise plans by measuring various crucial parameters.

How much do these costs:

Our blood tests start from £150.
