The most extensively studied context is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and other hyperandrogenic states, including non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Exogenous androgen exposure - including compounded testosterone supplementation and anabolic-androgenic steroid use - is also a documented cause of elevated readings. None of these contexts can be reliably inferred from a single hair-testosterone measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hakone Health","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67724274663737,"sku":null,"price":139.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/5864\/0441\/files\/canalt_38e5a4de-c0c1-4f75-8d35-cd5b9e81c0d6.jpg?v=1792535787","url":"https:\/\/www.hakonehealth.com\/products\/hair-testosterone-test","provider":"Hakone Health","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
