Testosterone supports new bone growth, muscle repair, and healthy cardiovascular function. DHEA, the most abundant hormone in your body, is the source for testosterone production. DHEA boosts the immune system, decreases blood pressure, helps to regulate sleep and supports your body's ability to successfully manage stress. DHEA and Testosterone are essential to your health and well-being.
Why should my hormone levels be tested?
Testosterone aids in the development of bone, lean muscle and body mass, and cardiovascular function.
DHEA is the most abundant hormone in your system and serves as the source for testosterone production. DHEA boosts the immune system, decreases blood pressure, helps to regulate sleep and assists in your body's stress response. Both hormones are essential to your optimal well-being.
An imbalance of these hormones has been shown to be the underlying cause for symptoms associated with:
• Fatigue
• Sleep Disorders
• Depression/Irritability
• Sexual Dysfunction
• Loss of Libido |
• Cardiovascular Trouble
• Muscle and Bone development
• Weight Gain/Loss
• High Blood Pressure |
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or conditions, a simple diagnostic test, can help you identify the cause.
How does the test work?
Saliva testing is a simple, stress free and a noninvasive means that allows you to assess hormone levels relative to your age and gender.
Included with your test kit are an instruction sheet, three collection tubes, three labels, a biohazard bag with absorbent pad, a prepaid mailing envelope, a return box (with biohazard label) and a health screen request form.
Special Note
If you are taking Pregnenolone, Progesterone, Cortisol, DHEA, Androstenedione, Androstenediol, Testosterone, Estrone, Estriol, Estradiol or any other steroid hormone, please note the following special instructions for collection
Allow at least one month to elapse since you last took hormone supplements before testing. This is necessary for hormones to reach equilibrium with binding proteins in the blood. Specimens collected too soon do not accurately reflect hormone concentrations in the saliva.
Since hormones effect each other, this principle applies to all hormone assay tests.
