Take me right to Hormone Profiles for Women

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.

Yes, I'd like to Take the Hormone Balance Test to find more about my symptoms before deciding which hormone test I need.

tmb_zrt_tube_75.jpg Female/Male Hormone Saliva Test Profile II
$349.00

Overall assessment of female health and vitality; indicator of sex steroid, adrenal, and thyroid hormone imbalances. Includes: Female Blood Profile I (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, SHBG, DHEAS, cortisol) plus Complete Thyroid Profiles (TSH, fT3, fT4, TPO).



ZRT_blood_test_std.jpg Progesterone (Pg) - Blood Spot
$35.00

Blood Spot Test. Recommended with symptoms of deficiency or excess (see The Hormone Balance Test link above). Best tested in concert with estradiol, as an imbalance of these two hormones is associated with major symptoms of menopause and disorders of the reproductive system.



ZRT_blood_test_std.jpg Estradiol (E2) - Blood Spot
$35.00

Blood Spot Test. The most predominant of the estrogens. Testing is recommended with symptoms of estrogen deficiency or excess (see the link to The Hormone Balance Test, above). Best tested in concert with progesterone, as an imbalance of these two hormones is associated with major symptoms of menopause and disorders of the reproductive system. Testing is also recommended when supplementing with a compounded preparation of bioidentical estrogens containing estradiol (e.g. "Biest" preprations contain estradiol and estriol OR "Triest" preparations containing estradiol, estriol and estrone).



tmb_zrt_tube_75.jpg Estradiol (E2) - Saliva Test
$35.00

Saliva Test. The most predominant of the estrogens. Testing is recommended with symptoms of estrogen deficiency or excess (see the link to The Hormone Balance Test, above). Best tested in concert with progesterone, as an imbalance of these two hormones is associated with major symptoms of menopause and disorders of the reproductive system. Testing is also recommended when supplementing with a compounded preparation of bioidentical estrogens containing estradiol (e.g. "Biest" preprations contain estradiol and estriol OR "Triest" preparations containing estradiol, estriol and estrone).



tmb_zrt_tube_75.jpg Estriol (E3) - Saliva Test
$35.00

Saliva Test. It is recommended that estriol levels be measured when supplementing with a compounded preparation of bioidentical estrogens containing Estriol (e.g. ""Biest"" preparations contain estriol and estradiol OR ""Triest"" preparations containing estriol, estradiol and estrone).



tmb_zrt_tube_75.jpg Estrone (E1) - Saliva Test
$35.00

Saliva Test. It is recommended that estrone levels be measured when supplementing with a compounded preparation of bioidentical estrogens containing Estrone (e.g. "Triest" preparations contain estrone, estradiol and estriol).



ZRT_blood_test_std.jpg Testosterone (Blood Spot) (T)
$35.00

Blood Spot Test. Recommended with deficiency or excess symptoms; indicator of low sex drive, hair loss, muscle mass and bone status. It is recommended that Testosterone and SHBG be tested together to determine imbalances of testosterone and estrogen; an important indicator of Andropause onset and/or premature aging in men.



ZRT_blood_test_std.jpg Lutenizing Hormone (LH)
$46.00

Blood Spot Test. 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. It can also be used to diagnose pituitary disorders, and early or late puberty in children.

 

 



ZRT_blood_test_std.jpg DHEA-S - Blood Spot
$35.00

Blood Spot Test 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)
$46.00

Blood Spot Test. FSH 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.

 

 



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

Blood Spot Test. SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) 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.
