Key Benefits

• Establish a clear baseline for testosterone (androgen status) and CRP (inflammatory load).
• Personalize training and recovery using objective hormonal and inflammatory signals.
• Target body recomposition with hormone-informed nutrition and strength planning.
• Support sexual wellbeing and libido with concrete, comparable data.
• Detect low-grade systemic inflammation relevant to cardiovascular and metabolic health.
• Track the impact of sleep, stress, and nutrition on your biology over time.
• Monitor responses to lifestyle or medical therapies with measurable progress.
• Spot overreaching, infection, or flare signals through CRP trends before performance dips.
• Protect bone, muscle, and mood with regular visibility into anabolic balance.
• View hormones and inflammation together for a complete, real-world performance picture.

What is Testosterone / CRP?

Testosterone is a primary androgen that influences muscle, bone, libido, mood, and motivation in all adults, with higher average levels in males. C-reactive protein (CRP), measured with standard or high-sensitivity assays (hs-CRP), is a marker of systemic inflammation that rises with infection, injury, or chronic inflammatory activity. Measuring testosterone alongside CRP connects anabolic drive with inflammatory load to show how your body adapts to training, stress, sleep, and nutrition.

Why is Testosterone / CRP Biomarker Testing Important?

Testing creates an objective baseline and a way to track changes over time. Testosterone follows a daily rhythm, so consistent morning sampling improves comparability across tests. hs-CRP detects low-grade inflammation relevant to cardiovascular and metabolic risk, while larger CRP rises can flag acute infection or tissue injury. Together, these biomarkers help identify overreaching, slower recovery, or anabolic insufficiency before performance and wellbeing decline. Regular measurement turns subjective impressions into trend data that supports informed adjustments.

What Insights Will I Get?

Testosterone — Male

• Low: Fatigue, low libido, reduced morning erections, decreased strength and muscle, increased fat, low motivation, lower bone support.
• Optimal: Stable energy and mood, healthy sex drive, robust training response, favorable body composition, strong recovery.
• High: Acne or oily skin, irritability, elevated red blood cell mass, potential blood pressure strain, gynecomastia risk with aromatization.

Testosterone — Female

• Low: Low libido, reduced motivation, decreased muscle tone, fatigue, reduced exercise capacity.
• Optimal: Support for sexual wellbeing, mood, lean mass, bone health, and training adaptation.
• High: Acne, hirsutism, scalp hair thinning, ovarian cycle disruption, features of androgen excess.

CRP / hs-CRP — All adults

• Low/Optimal: Minimal systemic inflammation, efficient recovery, favorable cardiovascular risk profile.
• Elevated: Evidence of chronic low-grade inflammation linked to cardiometabolic strain and slower recovery.
• High: Active inflammation from infection, injury, or flare; very high values reflect acute infection or major tissue injury.

Interpret results alongside symptoms, training load, recent illness or injury, and other relevant tests.

Testosterone / CRP and Your Health

Your health thrives where anabolic drive meets controlled inflammation. Balanced testosterone supports muscle, bone, libido, mood, and motivation. Well-regulated CRP reflects resilient immunity, efficient recovery, vascular health, and metabolic stability. Seeing these signals together clarifies when to push training and when to prioritize recovery, nutrition, sleep regularity, stress reduction, and body-composition targets. For consistent comparisons, collect testosterone in the morning and use hs-CRP when low-grade inflammation is the focus. Track trends at steady intervals to confirm progress, catch setbacks early, and stay accountable.
