Full Female Saliva Hormone Test

The Full Female Saliva Hormone Test is a comprehensive hormone testing service designed specifically for women. It enables individuals to measure ten essential hormones in their bodies using saliva samples. This convenient and non-invasive test provides valuable insights into hormone levels, which play a crucial role in various aspects of women's health and well-being. The following 10 essential hormones are analysed in the Full Female Saliva Hormone Test:

• Estrone (E1): This hormone belongs to the estrogen group and helps regulate the female reproductive system.
• Estradiol (E2): Another important estrogen hormone, estradiol is involved in menstrual cycles, fertility, bone health, and overall hormonal balance.
• Estriol (E3): Estriol is the third form of estrogen and is primarily produced during pregnancy. It plays a role in maintaining pregnancy and fetal development.
• Testosterone (T): Although often associated with males, testosterone is also present in females and contributes to sexual function, muscle mass, and overall vitality.
• DHEAS (DS): Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is an androgen precursor and is involved in the production of both estrogen and testosterone. It serves as a marker for adrenal gland function.
• Progesterone (Pg): Progesterone is a hormone that prepares the uterus for pregnancy and regulates the menstrual cycle. It is crucial for maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
• Cortisol Morning (C): Cortisol, often referred to as the "stress hormone," is produced by the adrenal glands. Measuring cortisol levels in the morning provides insights into the body's response to stress.
• Cortisol Noon (C): Cortisol levels at noon help assess the body's ability to maintain a balanced stress response throughout the day.
• Cortisol Evening (C): Measuring cortisol levels in the evening allows for an evaluation of how effectively the body winds down from daily stressors and prepares for restorative sleep.
• Cortisol Night (C): Cortisol levels during the night reflect the body's ability to maintain a healthy circadian rhythm and support rejuvenating sleep.
