Size: One test kit
Common uses: Estradiol, Estriol & Estrone (the estrogens), Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEA, Cortisol and Melatonin each play a critical role in your body. As you get older and your hormone levels shift, the delicate balance required to keep you at the peak of health is upset. Now there is a solution. A simple, cost effective saliva test will give you an accurate profile of your hormone levels allowing you, if necessary, to make adjustments with natural hormone supplementation. The good news is that we are retiring earlier and living longer. But, there are changes taking place inside our bodies that we can’t see. At the cellular level, our hormone production begins to decline as we approach middle age. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, we begin to see the effects of this hormonal shift. We may start to notice things like decreased energy, mood swings, memory trouble, a decrease in sexual energy and desire, thinning hair, weight gain, and the list goes on. In response to our concerns about how we age, the medical community has focused its attention on the link between the age-dependent decline of certain hormones and the quality of life we enjoy. Experts in anti-ageing medicine believe that hormone supplementation significantly decreases the risk of many age-related diseases, therefore helping not only to extend our life, but also enhancing its quality. Using this Self Test Kit will specifically measure your Testosterone and DHEAS levels. Low levels or imbalances in these hormones in men can cause problems such as fatigue, a weakened immune system, low libido, low muscle mass, weight gain, pot belly syndrome, love handles, low energy, andropause (male menopause), poor memory, depression and anxiety.
Instructions: How to take the test. On the day of collection, avoid caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. During the hour prior to collection do not eat, brush or floss your teeth or use mouth wash. Collect the sample between 6-9am. Using a ball point pen or pencil only, write your name and time and date of collection on the tube label. To collect your saliva sample, rinse your mouth with drinking water before collection. Wait 5 minutes (until your natural saliva returns) then collect the saliva in the tube. During the time you are taking the collection, do not cough or clear your throat into the collection tube. Fill the collection tube to the top with saliva. Tap the tube with your fingernail or tap on hard surface to reduce the bubbles. If you do not fill the tube sufficiently, there will be insufficient saliva to complete the test properly. Make sure the collection time and date are written on the tube and the cap is replaced tightly to avoid leakage. Place the filled tube into the refrigerator until shipping. DO NOT FREEZE. Fill out the client history and hormone details. Place your paperwork in the return envelope and post. Your results will be sent to you within
3 weeks after the specimen arrives at the laboratory. The NLS Self Test for Male Hormones tests free bio-available levels for Testosterone and DHEAS.
Health Information: Why test Saliva For Hormones? With the convenience and privacy of home collection, saliva hormone testing is non-invasive and economical. Blood collection is sometimes very stressful while saliva collection is simple. Saliva sample collections can be timed precisely, which is critical for some hormones. Multiple saliva collections can be taken in a single day to evaluate daily fluctuations. Saliva testing is an accurate, flexible tool for adjusting and monitoring hormone replacement therapy (HRT). About Saliva Testing. The knowledge that there are steroid hormones in saliva, and that they can be measured, has been around for more than 30 years. But it is only recently that technology has caught up with that information making it possible to accurately determine levels of salivary hormones. Now, with specific antibodies for key steroid hormones, Nutritional Laboratory Services (NLS) can be an important partner in your quest for a longer, healthier and sexier life. Until recently, steroid hormone level evaluations were carried out on blood samples, but blood collection has its limitations. It is invasive, expensive and difficult to time precisely. Perhaps more importantly, blood hormone levels represent your body’s total hormone content. Most blood hormones (about) 95% are bound to specific proteins, which carry them through your bloodstream and can be considered the hormone ‘storage’ fraction. The other 5% represents your free hormones, which can be easily measured to give an accurate picture of those hormones that are readily available to your tissue. Samples are sent to NLS in Australia for
testing. The results will be sent to you within 3 weeks after
your test arrives at the laboratory. All reports and client details remain confidential at all times. Test results are provided in a report format that compares hormone levels to age and gender specific hormone ranges. Regular monitoring of hormone levels, allows you to determine when and how to use healthcare professionals in helping to prevent the symptoms of ageing. The NLS Self Test for Male Hormones tests free bio-available hormone levels for Testosterone & DHEAS.
