Saliva Hormone Testing
Easy, Non-Invasive, and Accurate Way to Test Your Hormones
Saliva Hormone Testing:
Hormonal Health Affects Your Quality of Life
We at InHealth Specialty Pharmacy, a compounding pharmacy located in Fargo, ND, know that hormones play an important role in your overall health at every stage of life, whether you are a man or a woman. Whether it's your reproductive health, sex drive, emotional balance, or just your overall energy level, hormones regulate the daily quality of life.
Because hormones play such a vital role, they are often among the first functions to be tested when you have a medical complaint. If a hormonal imbalance is indeed the culprit, your healthcare provider and one of our pharmacists can work together with you to determine the best course of action utilizing bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
Saliva Hormone Testing:
Easy, Accurate, and Cost-Effective
The saliva tests we use are an easy, FDA-approved, and noninvasive way of assessing your hormones. Saliva tests are proving to be the most reliable medium for measuring hormone levels. Unlike blood serum tests, saliva testing detects only hormones actively delivered to receptors in the body. Clinically, it is far more relevant to test these bioavailable hormones to provide an accurate reflection of the body’s active hormone levels.
Our pharmacy offers the following hormone tests from a single saliva sample:
- Estrogens (Estriol, Estradiol, Estrone): An imbalance of estrogens is associated with menopausal symptoms or reproductive system disorders.
- Progesterone: An imbalance of progesterone is also associated with menopausal symptoms or reproductive system disorders
- Testosterone: Testing can indicate muscle and bone conditions, hair loss, excessive hair growth, or low sex drive.
- DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone): Tested for conditions of male hormone deficiency or excess. Also indicates insulin resistance, mental acuity, and stress levels.
- Cortisol: Can indicate adrenal disorder, fatigue, sleeping difficulty, etc.
