PCOS Clarity 24

PCOS Clarity 24

PCOS Clarity 24 looks at 24 biomarkers covering reproductive hormones, androgen status, metabolic markers, inflammation and thyroid activity, a panel for understanding the hormonal and metabolic factors often discussed in the context of PCOS. For best accuracy, test LH, FSH and oestrogen around days 2 to 5 of your cycle, and progesterone around day 21.

Markers Included

• Cholesterol: Total cholesterol. Influenced by diet, weight, activity and genetics.
• HDL: "Good" cholesterol that helps remove excess cholesterol from arteries.
• HDL Cholesterol %: The percentage of total cholesterol that is HDL.
• HDL:Cholesterol Ratio: HDL divided by total cholesterol.
• LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol: Often called "bad" cholesterol.
• Non-HDL Cholesterol: Total cholesterol minus HDL.
• Triglycerides: A type of fat carried in the blood.
• HbA1c: Reflects your average blood sugar over the previous 2 to 3 months.
• HsCRP: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein, a sensitive marker of inflammation.
• Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Pituitary hormone that supports egg development.
• Luteinising Hormone (LH): Pituitary hormone that triggers ovulation.
• Prolactin: A pituitary hormone involved in lactation and reproductive function.
• Progesterone: Best measured in the second half of the cycle for cycle-related context.
• DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone-Sulphate): An adrenal hormone the body uses as a building block for other sex hormones.
• Oestradiol: The main form of oestrogen.
• Testosterone: An androgen hormone involved in muscle, bone, mood and libido.
• Free Androgen Index: A ratio of total testosterone to SHBG.
• Free Testosterone (Calculated): The biologically active fraction of testosterone.
• SHBG: A protein that binds to sex hormones and influences how much is freely available.
• Cortisol: The main adrenal stress hormone.
• Free T3: The biologically active thyroid hormone.
• Free T4: The main circulating thyroid hormone.
• TSH: A pituitary hormone that controls thyroid activity.
• Vitamin D (25 OH): A fat-soluble vitamin supporting calcium absorption, bone health and immune function.
