Sleep Stress Profile
Saliva testing is a non-invasive collecting method in which patients collect their saliva in plastic tubes to assess hormones such as cortisol, estrogens, progesterone, and androgens. This method is perfect for patients since it allows them to collect their sample in the privacy of their own home or office.

In the circulation, steroid hormones are 95-99% bound to carrier proteins and hence unavailable to target tissues. Saliva testing determines the quantity of hormone that is bioavailable to target tissues. As a result, saliva testing correlates better with particular symptoms of excess or deficiency and is an excellent option for monitoring hormone therapy.

There are several ways to test for hormones (saliva, serum and urine), but the state-of-the-art method is through saliva. This is because only the active portions of hormones are measured, and it is these portions that determine how individuals feel. So, if your patient is seeking bio-identical hormone replacement (BHRT), you will need to know active hormone levels. In addition, if using a topical (transdermal) hormone preparation for treatment, saliva testing is the most accurate tool to measure and monitor hormone status.
Hormones are powerful molecules essential for maintaining physical and mental health. An imbalance of any one hormone can throw your physical and mental health out of balance, causing aggravating and even serious health problems.
Most Advanced Saliva Testing
There are several non-invasive way of assessing your hormone balancing needs, and saliva and dry blood spot testing is proving to be the most reliable methods for measuring hormone levels. Unlike serum tests, saliva testing represents only hormones actively delivered to receptors in the body and dry blood spot (fingerstick) testing is beneficial for one who is receiving hormone replacement therapy.
No matter how the treatment that you apply to patients (natural supplement, hormone replacement therapy and bioidentical hormone therapy), hormone level and metabolites should be monitor closely.
