  • Description

This convenient saliva profile includes testing for 5 fundamental hormones necessary for optimal sexual and adrenal health.  Created for both men and women, waking levels of estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, and cortisol are measured.  Important information involving libido, energy, bone health and more can be gained through at home hormone testing.  While each saliva test kit includes analysis for E2, Pg, T, DS, and C, profiles I, II, & III let you chose cortisol testing once, twice, or four times daily depending on your need for hormone evaluation.

Consider for Women: Baseline levels before hormone replacement therapy, amenorrhea, PMS, dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB), estrogen dominance symptoms, hypogonadism, sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis, fibrocystic breast disease, infertility screening, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) screening, anovulation, menopausal symptoms, screening for adrenal fatigue. Ideal for monitoring HRT dosing as well.

Consider for Men: Monitor for estrogen dominance, hypogonadism, andropause, fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, infertility, osteoporosis screening, and adrenal dysfunction.

Biomarkers Measured

Estradiol (E2)

Estradiol is the primary estrogen sex hormone in women, responsible for menstrual cycle regulation and the development of secondary sexual characteristics.

Progesterone (Pg)

Progesterone is one of the two major female sex hormones important for reproductive health.

Testosterone (T)

Produced primarily in the testes of males, and in the ovaries of females, testosterone regulates many functions within the body.

DHEA-S (DS)

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is produced by adrenal glands and converted to dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S).  DHEA is a precursor for sex hormones, estrogen and testosterone, as well as insulin growth factor.

Cortisol (Morning)

Cortisol (Morning) tests levels of the “stress” hormone that helps the brain and body respond to the environment, facilitates metabolism, regulates blood pressure and supports the body’s fight against infection.  Cortisol levels are highest upon wakening.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • If I am currently on estradiol should I stop taking before I do the saliva test? I am wanting to look at bidentical HRT.

    Topical & Oral: The day before testing, continue use of hormones as prescribed. Make sure any night dosage is applied at least 12 hours before planned morning collection. For example, dose before 8pm for an 8am collection. If using oral progesterone, your dosage can be right before bed.

    Do NOT use bare hands for topical hormone application for at least two days prior to collection (apply hormones using latex gloves or preferably hormone-loaded syringe or applicator). Avoid using hormones on the face, lips and neck. Change sheets, pillow cases and hand towels the night before collecting. Avoid touching bathroom surfaces which may be contaminated with traces of hormones.

    Patches, Vaginal Rings, Pellets or Injectables: Test half-way between doses. For example, collect 3 days after a once-a-week patch or 2 weeks after a once-a-month injection.

    Troches or Sublingual Therapies: Not recommended for saliva hormones; talk to your health care provider about blood spot testing.

  • I would like to know if you have a test for progesterone and estrogen ratio to determine estrogen dominance

    The fundamental 5 lab test kit does include progesterone and estradiol biomarkers.  If you are looking for just progesterone and estradiol you can find here: https://store.hrt.org/products/estrogen-dominance-test

    If you have any other questions feel free to email us at info@hrt.org

  • Can I take a saliva test at night and then the next morning or should I do in one day?

    Depending on the test, most saliva hormone samples and collected same day am. If you are completing a diurnal cortisol test that will be at 4 points throughout the day. If you have specific times you are looking at testing cortisol that can be facilitated. Please email us are info@hrt.org with any additional questions.
