Hormone Testing

Salivary Hormone Testing

Salivary hormone testing recognized by the American Association of Endocrinology as the gold standard for determining the most accurate levels of:

• Estradiol
• Progesterone
• Testosterone
• DHEA
• Cortisol

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. Unless it is a private practice, conventional medical doctors do not generally offer this test as it is not covered by the federal government.

We provide you with the test kit and you provide the sample from home and drop it in the mail. Hormones in saliva are exceptionally stable and can be stored at room temperature for up to a week without affecting the accuracy of the result. This offers maximum flexibility in sample collection and shipment.

Serum Hormone Testing

Serum is the most accurate measure of hormone analysis for:

Thyroid (TSH, fT3, fT4, rT3)
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
Luteinizing hormone (LSH)
Androstenedione
Among others

Depending on what is needed, we offer complete or individual hormone tests for diagnostic assessment.
