Male Hair Loss Profile.
Hair loss can have hormonal, nutritional, or general health causes. This panel checks hormones, full blood count, liver and kidney function, and key vitamins and minerals, to help uncover the underlying cause rather than guessing.
Hair loss has many possible causes.
Hair thinning or loss in men is most commonly linked to genetics, but hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, and nutritional deficiencies can also play a role, or make an existing pattern worse. This panel checks the hormones, general health markers, and key nutrients most commonly associated with hair loss, so that treatable contributing factors are not missed.
It is worth understanding that this test cannot diagnose the specific pattern or type of hair loss you are experiencing, that is a clinical assessment, but it can identify treatable contributing factors alongside it.

Worth ruling out treatable contributing factors alongside any cosmetic or genetic causes.
