Benefits of Saliva Hormone Testing

Saliva Hormone Testing Can Help Monitor Your Hormonal Needs

  • A baseline test done in your thirties can tell what your hormone levels are at your peak
  • Yearly testing from age 40 on can help monitor how quickly or slowly your hormone levels are changing
  • Regular monitoring can help determine when it is appropriate to begin hormone replacement
  • Once you begin HRT (hormone replacement therapy), testing can tell how you are responding
  • Regular monitoring of HRT can help keep track of how your body and your hormonal needs are changing over time
