Hi Lotus -

Thanks for the link. I had not stumbled across the page before. Do you know anything about their hormone test kit? Any thoughts?

It's from ZRT labs, it's offered on Amazon too. For $59.95 it tests for 2 hormones, which is reasonable. A siliva test measures free hormones, the kind that's available for target tissues, imo I'd get testosterone, progesterone, E2 and dhea tested for $120.00. It's close to this offer for 5 hormones @ $158.95, but what the heck, have cortisol tested as it relates to stress.

Saliva Testing.

Non-invasive home test kit.

Saliva testing, unlike serum tests, measures the bioavailable (“free”) levels of steroid hormones, correlating with symptomatology and potential deficiency

From ZRT:
Samples are collected by the patient at home, allowing convenient timing of collection especially for cortisol, which must be measured at specific times of the day or night

Convenience of collection allows frequent sampling, e.g., during a menstrual cycle to determine fertility problems

Hormone levels can be assessed during topical hormone supplementation

Saliva collection avoids the stress of a blood draw, which can affect levels of cortisol

Hormones are stable in saliva at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, allowing for worldwide shipment and convenient mailing of samples for testing

Saliva testing is less expensive than conventional serum testing

(Best for normal tests ranges)
