Based on more than twenty years of research, salivary hormone assessments have become a preferred method of measuring hormonal health. In addition to being less expensive and more practical than blood testing, salivary assessments measure the active (bioavailable) levels of hormones rather than the inactive (total or bound) levels of hormones.
Suggested Use:
Before You Start:

Materials in Box:
1 collection tube with time label for saliva, 1 parafilm square to aid in saliva collection, 1 specimen time/date label, 1 resealable plastic bag, 1 absorbent pad, 1 USPS mailing label, 1 priority mail sticker, 1 return shipping box, 1 hormone assessment request form.
