The Estrobolome: Gut Microbes, Estrogen and Hormone Testing.

Related Tests

The following panels measure selected hormones or urinary hormone metabolites. They do not measure the gut microbiome, the estrobolome or gut bacterial enzyme activity, and do not establish how effectively the gut clears estrogen.

• Female Complete Saliva Hormone Profile: Measures Estradiol (E2), progesterone, testosterone, DHEAS, morning cortisol and bedtime cortisol using two saliva samples collected on the same day.
• Advanced Female Saliva Hormone Profile: Measures Estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2), Estriol (E3), progesterone, testosterone, DHEAS and cortisol at four collection times. It measures hormone concentrations, not estrogen metabolism within the gut.
• Menstrual Cycle Mapping Test (One Month): Tracks urinary estrogen and progesterone metabolites (E1G and PdG), LH and creatinine across multiple collections during a menstrual cycle.

These overlapping panels address different questions and are not three tests everyone needs. Results alone do not diagnose PCOS, endometriosis, cancer or the cause of symptoms. Discuss the appropriate panel, collection timing and interpretation with a qualified healthcare professional, particularly if you use hormonal contraception or HRT. Do not change treatment based on these results without your prescriber.
