Why Saliva Testing?
Saliva testing measures the free, “bioavailable” levels of the hormones that have moved out of the bloodstream and into the tissue. Blood and Urine measure total levels, which do not accurately represent the actual amount of hormone reaching the target tissue. In addition, saliva is the most reliable measurement of tissue uptake with topical hormone supplementation. I have utilized Saliva Testing for many years and have found it to be the best indicator of women’s hormone levels.
