Male Saliva Hormone Profile I (LCMS)

Test ID: S-124
Sample Type: Saliva
Technology: LC-MS/MS Advanced Laboratory Saliva Hormone Analysis
Results Time: 3–5 Working Days After Laboratory Receives Sample
Laboratory: ZRT Laboratory – CLIA Certified
Hormone Specialist Doctor Interpretation: Included

Suitable For: Adults and Children

The Male Saliva Hormone Profile I (LC-MS/MS) measures testosterone, oestradiol, DHEAS, progesterone, and cortisol — five key hormones that reveal how stress, sleep, libido, mood, and energy relate to your hormonal health. Fast lab results with expert specialist commentary.

What This Test Measures

• Testosterone (T): libido, muscle, strength, bone density, vitality
• Oestradiol (E2): cardiovascular, bone, prostate, and mood balance
• DHEAS (DS): adrenal output, precursor to sex hormones
• Progesterone (Pg): balances oestrogens, neurocalming effects
• Cortisol (C): stress response, metabolism, sleep–wake rhythm

FAQ — Male Saliva Hormone Profile I (LC-MS/MS)

What hormones are included?
Testosterone, oestradiol (E2), DHEAS, progesterone, and cortisol.

How accurate is saliva testing?
It measures bioavailable hormones and is well suited for timed collections and monitoring changes over time.

How fast are results?
3–5 working days after your sample reaches the lab.

Do I need to stop supplements or HRT?
Follow the kit's timing guide. If on prescription hormones, ask your clinician about test timing.

Is this useful for athletes or overtraining checks?
Yes. Testosterone, DHEAS, and cortisol patterns can flag under-recovery.

Will someone explain my results?
Yes. A PhD Hormone Specialist adds comments and actionable guidance.

Any hidden fees?
No. Lab analysis is included. You only pay return postage.

How often should I retest?
Every 8–12 weeks when changing training, lifestyle, or therapy; otherwise as advised by your clinician.

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.
