You can now test fertility and testosterone hormones at home in Ontario

Understanding hormone health doesn't have to start in a clinic.

Dynacare, a trusted health and wellness solutions provider, is expanding access to this type of insight with the launch of new whole blood, at-home, self-collect testing kits.

Designed to support both women exploring fertility and men seeking clarity on hormone health, these kits combine clinical-grade accuracy with the convenience of home collection and clear, easy-to-understand reporting.

Samples are analyzed in Dynacare's accredited laboratories using clinically validated, Health Canada-approved lab testing methods , delivering results comparable to a traditional blood draw.

Take control 

Many people lack clear, accessible ways to understand their hormone health, especially since issues like low ovarian reserve or low testosterone can have subtle or no obvious symptoms.

Traditional testing can also be inconvenient, typically requiring clinical visits, which creates barriers for those seeking timely, straightforward insights into their fertility or overall hormone levels.

According to Vito Ciciretto, CEO of Dynacare, the first-of-a-kind Dynacare Insight testing kits will help Ontarians be at the centre of their own care.

"This offering is firmly aligned with our mission to support healthy lives with commitment and care, with plans to make it available to all Canadians," said Ciciretto in a release.

"By making clinical-grade testing accessible, private and conveniently available at home, Dynacare is empowering people to make informed decisions about their health and wellness."

How the tests work

The two new testing solutions include the Women's Fertility Hormones Insight kit, which aims to provide women with clear, actionable information on their reproductive hormone health.

The kit measures Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and Estradiol — three key hormones commonly used to assess ovarian reserve and overall reproductive health.

The Men’s Testosterone Insight kit provides users with clear insights into their testosterone levels, helping them better understand changes in energy, strength, weight management, and sexual health. It measures total testosterone, free testosterone, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), offering a more complete picture of overall status.

Together, these insights can help women and men make more informed decisions about family planning and wellness, while also preparing them for more productive conversations with their healthcare provider if follow-up care is needed.

The kits include an upper-arm blood collection device designed for simple and safe self-collection at home. Individuals are guided through every step of the process, from ordering and sample collection to scheduling sample return through Dynacare Plus.

After the sample is returned, results are delivered securely through the platform with explanations on what the hormone health tests have revealed.

The Dynacare difference

Ciciretto added that the goal of Dynacare is to transform access to lab testing in Ontario and Canada with convenient, private and people-centred solutions.

"It's not just testing; it's delivering insights that can help people live healthier lives," he said.

The kits are designed for individuals seeking a clearer understanding of their hormone health, whether they're planning for pregnancy, exploring symptoms that may be linked to testosterone levels, or preparing for a conversation with their healthcare provider.

Dynacare and its over 60 years of experience are ready to help you connect with healthcare on your terms.
