What can the Men’s Wellness Check | Männer-Gesundheits-Test tell you — and what not?

The Men’s Wellness Check (Männer-Gesundheits-Test) typically measures biomarkers such as testosterone, PSA, lipids, liver enzymes, and blood glucose, sometimes combined with genetic variants (e.g., AR, SRD5A2). It can indicate potential hormonal imbalances, metabolic risks, or prostate health markers, but it does not provide a diagnosis. Results are screening-level, not clinical. A normal PSA does not rule out prostate cancer; a single testosterone reading may be misleading. Genetic markers have small effect sizes and are not predictive. The test cannot replace a physical exam, imaging, or a physician’s evaluation. It may serve as a conversation starter or lifestyle motivator, but should not be used alone for medical decisions. Evidence: marketing – most claims are product-driven, not supported by independent studies for the entire panel.
