Take me right to Individual Hormone Tests for Women

The saliva and blood spot tests we offer are both easy, at-home, accurate and reliable measures of the hormones that really affect a women's well-being, especially as she approaches menopause. From about age thirty on, women's hormones begin to change and fluctuate. For younger women, this can cause PMS, infertility, weight gain and polycystic ovaries. For women approaching menopause hormone imbalance can cause hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, foggy thinking, moodiness, lack of sex drive, vaginal dryness, hair loss, hot flashes, night sweats, osteoporosis and more.

NY State residents:
New York State health law prohibits the testing of blood spot specimens collected in or mailed from New York and prohibits the transmission of blood spot laboratory data NY physicians or residents. New York residents may order saliva tests.

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.
