You collect a small saliva sample at home, and our laboratory analyses your levels of oestrogens, progesterone, testosterone and DHEAs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHormones are crucial to a woman's reproductive health. The main hormones affecting the menstrual cycle and fertility are produced by glands in the brain and by the ovaries, regulating menstruation, fertility and libido. When these go out of balance — whether in the pre-menopausal years, during peri-menopause or approaching menopause — they can challenge mood stabilisation, conception and the regulation of the menstrual cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause hormones act as chemical messengers across the whole body, hormonal issues are rarely a clear-cut case of a single abnormal level. All hormone systems work in concert to maintain balance. Salivary hormone measurement provides an accurate analysis of oestrogens, progesterone and testosterone, helping to determine whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be appropriate — or confirming that levels are normal and HRT is not needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this test measures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDHEAs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstradiol (E2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstriol (E3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstrone (E1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgesterone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTestosterone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelevant hormone ratios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it may help\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis profile can provide valuable insight for those experiencing symptoms such as PMS, irregular menstruation, low libido, mood changes, brain fog, depression, disturbed sleep and insomnia, fatigue, hot flushes and night sweats, vaginal dryness, weight gain, bone loss, PCOS, fertility difficulties, or symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSample \u0026amp; collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSample type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 5ml saliva\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fasting required, 6–8am collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest method:\u003c\/strong\u003e EIA (Enzyme immunoassay)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurnaround:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–5 business days (estimate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrder your test\u003c\/strong\u003e — your kit is dispatched to you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollect at home\u003c\/strong\u003e — provide your saliva sample in the comfort of your home, following the included instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReturn your sample\u003c\/strong\u003e — send it back in the provided packaging for laboratory analysis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eResults are best interpreted with the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner.
