The Comprehensive Female Saliva Hormone Profile (LC-MS/MS) is a comprehensive at-home saliva hormone test that measures eight key hormones essential for a woman's health, energy, fertility, and emotional well-being. This accurate and non-invasive test provides valuable insight into your body's hormonal balance, stress levels, and reproductive function — all from the comfort of your home.
What the Test Measures
- Oestradiol (E2): The main form of oestrogen produced by the ovaries. It regulates the menstrual cycle, supports bone and heart health, and influences mood.
- Testosterone (T): Present in small amounts in women, it supports libido, muscle tone, and energy levels.
- DHEAS (DS): A precursor to oestrogen and testosterone, produced by the adrenal glands. It reflects adrenal and hormone balance.
- Progesterone (Pg): Produced after ovulation, it regulates the menstrual cycle, supports fertility, and promotes calmness.
- Cortisol (Morning, Noon, Evening, Night): The stress hormone measured at four points during the day to assess adrenal health and circadian rhythm.

- Hot flushes or night sweats
- Mood swings or depression
- Fatigue and low energy
- Low libido or vaginal dryness
- Weight gain, especially around the waist
- Brain fog or memory issues
- Trouble sleeping or anxiety

What's the Difference Between Each Testing Method?
Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) — antibody/antigen-based technology with moderate specificity and sensitivity, low cost, not ideal for complex hormone analysis.
Electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA) — improved specificity and sensitivity, commonly used for serum hormone analysis, but not ideal for topical hormone therapies.
Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) — gold standard for high sensitivity/specificity, extended linear range, and complex hormone analysis.
