The Men's Performance Panel is a comprehensive blood test
designed to provide valuable insights into a man's overall health,
metabolic function, and hormonal balance. This panel includes key
markers such as a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to assess general
health, a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) for kidney and liver
function, electrolytes, and glucose, along with
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and
Free Testosterone to evaluate male reproductive and hormonal
health.
