Saliva testing is a convenient, inexpensive, and accurate way to test steroid hormones. The levels of steroid hormones in your saliva correlate strongly with the amount of hormone in the blood that is active, or bioavailable.
This method of testing can be done anywhere, anytime. Moreover, hormones in saliva are highly stable and can be stored at room temperature for up to a week without affecting the accuracy of the result.
Saliva testing also lets us test for many saliva profiles, including:
- estradiol
- progesterone
- testosterone
- dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
- cortisol
