Saliva testing is a convenient and 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 testing can be done anywhere anytime. In addition, 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. Hormones are our fountain of youth. When they decline, or become imbalanced, many symptoms begin to appear.
USES FOR SALIVA TESTING:
Adrenal fatigue
Irritability
Migraines
Hot flashes

If your hormones are out of balance, consider using a saliva hormone panel, regardless for women and men.
