Hormone Test Kits - Saliva |

HORMONE TESTING FOR WOMEN AND FOR MEN This page provides products and information to help you measure your hormone levels. While laboratories measure hormones in several ways, research indicates that the most accurate way to do so is through saliva. To learn why we recommend saliva hormone testing, read the article by John R. Lee, M.D. about this matter. Knowing your saliva hormone levels is an important first step in assessing where your hormones may be out of balance and determining whether your current natural hormone regimen is working for you. If you are wondering whether certain symptoms may be due to a hormone imbalance, this is a quick, easy, and accurate way to find out. If you are not a healthcare provider and want to test your hormone levels, this page provides you with a fast, simple and accurate way to do so. You can purchase the test kits online and they will be promptly mailed to you with specific instructions. The kits come from ZRT Laboratory, a respected provider of hormone testing products. For help in deciding which saliva tests you should order, feel free to take our online Hormone Balance Test. If you are a healthcare provider and want to order saliva tests for your patients, we recommend that you contact Labrix Clinical Services or ZRT Laboratory. Both companies offer advanced testing technologies to healthcare providers. NOTE: New York State Residents
