Overview
Male Hormones Plus assesses salivary testosterone at multiple time points to map its natural circadian rhythm. It also includes the Adrenocortex Stress Profile, which measures cortisol and DHEA across the day, and the Comprehensive Melatonin Profile, which assesses melatonin at key intervals. Together, these markers offer insight into hormonal patterns that influence energy, mood, sleep and stress response.
Practitioners may consider this test when clients report low energy, mood fluctuations, changes in libido, sleep disturbances or stress-related symptoms. Evaluating testosterone alongside cortisol, DHEA and melatonin can help clarify whether hormone timing, adrenal activity or sleep-cycle signalling contributes to observed concerns.
Results are typically reviewed in combination with symptom history, sleep routines, stress exposure, physical activity, nutritional patterns and medication or supplement use. This integrated approach supports practitioners in understanding how hormonal patterns relate to day-to-day function and overall wellbeing for clients.
