$35.00

Blood Spot Test. Results and written recommendations and analysis included. Recommended with deficiency or excess symptoms; indicator of low sex drive, hair loss, muscle mass and bone status.

ZRT_blood_test_std.jpg DHEA-S Hormone Test- Blood Spot ZRT
$35.00

Blood Spot Test Results and written recommendations and analysis included. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands that can be an indicator of stress levels and insulin resistance. Low DHEA can cause symptons such as mental fogginess and fatigue, and is associated with infertility, type 2 diabetes and aging. DHEA is a precursor to many of the steroid hormones.

ZRT_blood_test_std.jpg Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test - ZRT
$46.00

Blood Spot Test. Results and written recommendations and analysis included. SH is a hormone made and secreted in the brain from the anterior pituitary gland and it acts synergistically with the lutenizing hormone (LH). FSH is a marker of menopause or andropause (male menopause) onset, along with LH, and is often used to determine the underlying cause of infertility in both men and women, such as a low sperm count or lack of ovulation. It can also be used to diagnose pituitary disorders, and early or late puberty in children.

Blood Spot Test. Results and written recommendations and analysis included. LH is a hormone made and secreted in the brain from the anterior pituitary gland and it acts synergistically with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). LH is a marker of menopause or andropause (male menopause) onset, along with FSH, and is often used to determine the underlying cause of infertility in both men and women, such as a low sperm count or lack of ovulation.

ZRT_blood_test_std.jpg Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Test - ZRT
$85.00

Blood Spot Test. Results and written recommendations and analysis included. SHBG measurement is used as a relative index of overall exposure to all forms of estrogens, as an indirect index of estrogen interaction with the liver and as an indicator of bioavailable testosterone.

High levels indicate excess exposure to estrogens and lower bio-availability of testosterone to tissues. It is recommended that SHBG be tested along with testosterone in order to determine if there is an imbalance between testosterone and estrogen. Such an imbalance is an important indicator of Andropause onset and/or premature aging in men.

Quantity   

ZRT_blood_test_std.jpg HGH Level Test (Insulin-like Growth Factor IGF-1) - ZRT
$85.00

Blood Spot Test. Results and written recommendations and analysis included. IGF-1 is important because it is a reliable indicator of human growth hormone (HGH). IGF-1 needs to be within the expected range for this reason: Low IGF-1 levels indicate HGH deficiency associated with rapid aging, decreased muscle and bone mass, slowing cognition, low libido and poor quality of life.
