Saliva Testing

Why Saliva Testing?

• Blood testing represents only the minute amount of unbound hormones. It does not represent the total amount of active hormones nor, more importantly, the hormone values in tissue.
• Saliva testing measures the amount of active hormones in tissue.
• Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, BHRT, should be implemented as a result of appropriate testing and documentation of a deficiency.
• Salivary testing is safe and inexpensive.
• Saliva testing is approved by all governmental and laboratory licensing bureaus.
