Saliva Hormonal Test Kit
Hormones are chemical messengers that control numerous body functions, such as growth and development, metabolism, reproductive function, mood and stress. Proper hormonal balance is crucial to maintaining good physical and mental health.
What hormones do we analyze?
The Saliva Hormonal Test Kit determines the current status of Androgens, Estrogens, Progestogens and Cortisol:
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- DHEA-S
- Estradiol
- Cortisol (4 intakes)
Sample type: Saliva
Traditionally, the hormonal profile is analyzed in blood samples, but this method quatifies and determines the total amount of a homone, including a high percentage of it bound to transport proteins in the bloodstream.
Hormonal quantification in saliva makes it possible to determine the bioavailable hormone, i.e.the hormonethat has an effect on the tissues.
For this reason, saliva analysis correlates closely with specific symptoms of a hormone imbalance (excess or deficiency). It is a great option for monitoring hormonal replacement therapy.
