Saliva Hormone

Hormone testing is a clinically useful method for evaluating imbalances in hormone function. Along with the patients symptoms, it can be an effective tool for providing insight into hormone excesses or deficiencies.

Hormones have been accurately measured in saliva for over 30 years. Saliva testing is more cost effective than urinary testing, but it is not as comprehensive re the amount of information we are able to collect.
