Saliva Hormone Testing in Aurora

Saliva testing is the most convenient, and above all, the most 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; this information provides the only accurate measure of biologically active hormone in your body. Conventional testing of steroid hormones by drawing blood is only representative of inactive steroid hormone transport, and does not represent what is occurring in your body at the target receptors sites of the hormone.

As technological advancements are made in the analysis of human steroid hormones and neurotransmitters, conventional methods are proving to be too cumbersome, ineffective and even misleading and should not be relied upon for proper management of these chemicals in our bodies.
