BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY
SALIVA HORMONE TESTING VS. BLOOD TESTING

In the past 20-30 years research studies have validated saliva as a diagnostic medium to measure the free or "unbound" biologically-active portion of hormones in the bloodstream. These are the bio-available hormones, doing their job at the cellular level and the ones you want to know about when testing your hormone levels. Saliva hormones more accurately reflect absorption and tissue uptake of creams, gels or patches. Blood assays significantly underestimate hormones delivered topically, often resulting in overdosing. Blood tests measure the serum, yet do not measure tissue uptake at the cells in key organs such as the brain, uterus, skin and breasts.

Saliva testing is quicker, painless, and less expensive than blood tests. It is a reliable way to measure steroid hormone levels, and it will confirm that the hormones you are taking are being absorbed and utilized. Saliva hormone assay tests have been used for many years by the World Health Organization for world wide hormone testing.
