Saliva
testing is a convenient,
inexpensive, and above all, accurate
means of testing steroid hormones.
Scientific studies have shown a strong
correlation between steroid hormone levels
in saliva and the amount of hormone in the
blood that is active or “bioavailable.” It
is this fraction of total hormone that is
free to enter the target tissues in the
brain, uterus, skin, and breasts.

Saliva measures
the free, "bioavailable" fraction of
steroid hormones that have moved out of
the bloodstream and into the tissue
-- NOTE: Blood and urine measure
"total" levels
Saliva is the
most reliable measurement of tissue
uptake with topical hormone
supplementation
Painless,
noninvasive and needle-free
(stress caused by a
conventional blood draw can alter test
results)
Private (home
collection kit) convenient for both
patient and doctor allows for optimal
collection time
Hormones are
stable in saliva at room temperature up
to three weeks allowing for worldwide
shipment
Transport of
saliva samples to laboratory requires no
special handling
Less expensive
than conventional blood testing
Ease of
collection allows for routine monitoring
of hormone levels and adjustment of
hormone supplementation as needed.
Identify hidden
hormonal imbalances (deficiency or
excess) associated with patient symptoms
of menopause and andropause as well as
reproductive disorders, chronic illness
and diseases of aging
Link clinical
symptoms to specific hormone imbalance
Maintain health
and prevent disease through early
detection of any hormonal imbalance
Establish
treatment to restore hormonal balance
and patient quality of life
Monitor patient
hormone levels for "individualized"
hormone replacement therapy
Track patient
progress with comparative history
reports provided with follow-up testing
