Saliva/Blood Spot Combo Hormone Tests

The only way to know if hormones are in balance is to test them.  We recommend scheduling an appointment with our pharmacists (in person or virtual) to review your results and give guidance.  Hormone testing is the best way to make decisions regarding hormone supplementation, including compounded bioidentical HRT.

SALIVA TESTING
Suitable for:
• Assessing “free” (unbound to carrier proteins) hormone levels
• Monitoring hormone replacement given orally, topically, vaginally or via pellets
• Collecting multiple samples during a day, e.g., determining diurnal cortisol levels
for adrenal stress assessment
Not suitable for:
• Monitoring sublingual/troche hormone replacement
• Patients with dry mouth, e.g., due to Sjögren’s syndrome

DRIED BLOOD SPOT TESTING
Suitable for:
• Assessing total circulating hormone levels (free plus protein-bound)
• Patients with dry mouth and/or children who may have diffculty collecting saliva
• Monitoring hormone replacement therapy (oral, sublingual, pellet)
• Assessing thyroid health, fertility parameters, and cardiometabolic
risk factors
Dried Blood Spot is better for:
• Assessing interstitial tissue/capillary hormone levels reflecting topical or vaginal
hormone supplementation
• Toxic and nutritional elements requiring a whole blood sample
• Self-collection of sample at home at a time convenient to the patient
and avoiding a trip to the phlebotomist

Kit includes everything you need to collect saliva samples at home and send in to ZRT labs with a prepaid shipping label.  If you are local, you may also drop off your completed test kit at Hale Center Clinical Pharmacy.
