Saliva collection is simple, non-invasive, and can be performed in the privacy of your home. You send your sample by prepaid shipping to the laboratory, and results are sent directly to us. The hormones are stable at room temperature for 5 days and require no special handling for shipment.
Saliva is considered a better indicator of biologically active hormone levels than blood.
Saliva testing measures the circulating levels of hormones available to body tissues in men and women, more accurately reflecting the body’s functional hormone status.
Saliva testing provides a simple, noninvasive means to determine whether hormone levels are within the expected normal range for one’s age and gender. It is also an accurate method of evaluating how diet, herbal therapy, and exercise influence these levels.
