Libido has a genetic architecture — DRD2 receptor density, OXTR bonding sensitivity, MTNR1B circadian timing, and MC4R central arousal signaling all shape sexual desire at the neurochemical level. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test maps these variables as part of 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights, explaining the biology of desire that testosterone panels miss.

MTNR1B encodes the melatonin receptor that governs circadian regulation of testosterone, autonomic tone, and the timing of sexual function. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes MTNR1B variants as part of 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights — mapping the chronobiological dimension of sexual health that no blood test captures.

Aromatase activity varies between men because CYP19A1 — the gene encoding aromatase — is polymorphic. Different CYP19A1 variants alter how the enzyme is expressed and how efficiently it converts testosterone to estradiol. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes CYP19A1 as part of 14 pathways and 150+ genetic insights across 49 peptides.

Not exactly — but the answer matters. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test doesn't predict whether a specific androgen protocol will work. It maps six biological variables that determine how testosterone behaves in your body: SHBG, CYP19A1, AR, SRD5A2, LHCGR, and CYP17A1. Part of 14 pathways and 150+ genetic insights, that map is the most actionable starting point available.

The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes six Reproductive Health genes that directly influence testosterone levels, conversion, and signaling — including SHBG, CYP19A1, AR, SRD5A2, LHCGR, and CYP17A1. Part of 14 pathways and 150+ genetic insights across 49 peptides, these variants explain why testosterone behaves differently in different men.

The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes 6 Reproductive Health insights that explain why androgen-pathway protocols produce different outcomes for different men. SHBG, CYP19A1, AR, SRD5A2, LHCGR, and CYP17A1 each shape how testosterone is bound, converted, sensed, and signaled — as part of 14 pathways and 150+ genetic insights across 49 peptides.

SHBG — sex hormone-binding globulin — determines how much of your testosterone is biologically available to cells. High SHBG binds more testosterone, reducing free levels; low SHBG releases more. SHBG gene variants shape your baseline level genetically. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes SHBG as part of Men’s Hormone insights across 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights.
