What Is Saliva Testing?
Research has determined that saliva is the most accurate diagnostic medium to measure the free or “unbound” biologically active fraction of steroid hormones (estrogen, progesterone), etc. in the bloodstream. The World Health Organization has designated saliva testing as an accurate method for testing hormones. It is more precise and much more reliable than taking a blood test.
Why Saliva Instead Of Blood?
- Saliva is stable without refrigeration.
- Saliva testing is easy and can be done with timing in mind. Hormones are highest in the morning and at certain times in our cycle. It is appropriate to test when we think the hormones should be high. .
- Saliva contains unbound or active hormones. It is the unbound hormone that is available to the hormone receptors. Knowing how much is available is important.
- Remember a hormone imbalance is not all in your head. It is revealed by a Saliva Test.
What Will A Saliva Test Tell Me?
- Helps identify “estrogen dominance” with the associated low progesterone which may be the cause of your symptoms.
- Reveals a hormone imbalance when progesterone levels fall and estrogen levels either stay the same or rise. Aa hormone imbalance is due to inappropriate fluctuations in our hormone levels.
This fluctuation of hormones can produce minor or major health consequences. Annoying symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats or mood swings are seen in both men and women who have hormone imbalances. In women Breast Cancer, Ovarian Cancer and Cervical Cancer are more serious results from a hormone imbalance. In men, hormone imbalances result in prostate cancer, low libido, and loss of muscle mass.
