Saliva Hormone Test
Concerned About Your Hormonal Health?
Symptoms like mood swings, low sex drive and hot flashes may be a sign of hormone imbalance. Saliva hormone testing may reveal hormone imbalances that contribute to chronic health problems or hormone conditions. It can also be used to monitor hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and in anti-aging and disease prevention programs.
Test your hormone levels in the comfort and privacy of your own home. No needles required! Painless and accurate, our saliva hormone testing kits provide you state-of-the-art hormone testing without a trip to the doctor. Available for both women and men!
Which hormones can be tested?
The following hormones can be tested from a single saliva sample:
- Estrogens (Estriol, Estradiol, Estrone)
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- DHEA
- Cortisol
- Thyroid
The fees are based on the number of hormones tested. Call or stop by one of our pharmacies to find out which hormones you should have tested. It is preferential to book a preliminary counselling session to determine whether testing even needs to be done. A symptom assessment evaluation will often determine the need for additional testing.
In the comfort and privacy of your home simply collect a small sample of your saliva, fill out a simple form and send off the sample to our testing laboratory. Then in about 10 - 14 business days your results will arrive back at your Blackfalds IDA Pharmacy.
What next?
Our pharmacist will be glad to review your results with you and forward the test results on to you and/or your physician.
If your tests indicate a hormonal imbalance or deficiency, our pharmacists can work up a suggested Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement (BHRT) prescription, customized to your individual needs. This suggested prescription is forwarded to your physician for their review and approval. (Please note this service requires an additional fee).
Then simply have your physician phone or fax in your approved BHRT prescription. Our skilled compounding pharmacists will then prepare your customized BHRT prescription.
