Male Hormone Saliva Test

The aging process is inevitable. Some men lose some of their "vitality" as they age. Our male hormone saliva test can tell you what your body needs to fix a male hormone imbalance so you can regain your stamina and energy.

Testosterone & Andropause Test: During puberty the male hormone testosterone reaches adult levels. Testosterone levels usually stay level until men reach their fifties or older when it starts to drop. Along with testosterone dropping, so can  energy, vitality, sexual performance and mental capacity. This decline has been labeled "Andropause” or “Male Menopause”.  Statistically, Andropause affects at least 40% of men aged 55 - 65, and up to 80% of those aged 65 years or more.

Andropause symptoms: fatigue, moodiness, not feeling healthy, depression, irritably, nervousness, lack of focus or concentration, insomnia, lack of sex drive, erectile dysfunction, lack of vitality, decreased muscle mass & strength, hair loss, increased fat around the waist, urinary changes, reduced bone mass. Our male saliva test can tell you what your body needs to fix a male hormone imbalance.

Male Hormones We Test For:

DHEA: The precursor for both male and female hormones. DHEA is an anti- stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Unmonitored intake can easily alter the delicate balance between male to female hormones.

Androstenedione: A weak male hormone (androgen) and a precursor of both male & female hormones. Unmonitored intake in men can cause excessive female hormone production with minimal male hormone production.

Testosterone Saliva Test: Testosterone is the main testicular androgen and is a precursor to the highly potent dihydrotestosterone male hormone. Excessive amounts of testosterone promote hardening of the blood vessels, aggression, prostate problems and increase in total cholesterol.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT): Is made from testosterone in certain tissues. The rate of its production is controlled by the level of free active progesterone. Excess DHT causes prostate enlargement and thinning of scalp hair.

Progesterone: This hormone is important in both sexes. It is a natural calming agent to our nervous system. It also keeps in check excessive DHT production and counterbalances the effects of excessive estrone. Unmonitored intake can lead to breast enlargement, depression and weight gain.

Estrone: Estrone is an estrogen that both sexes produce in the fat cells. The more fat, the more estrone which in turn itself promotes fat deposits.  An excess of estrone can cause breast enlargement and contributes to prostate enlargement. In males, a certain low level of estrone is mandatory to balance the androgens.

LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone): We test for the regular male hormones plus FSH and LH, when most labs do not. Testosterone and sperm production in males are just as important as estrogen and ovulation are in females. The pituitary neurohormones, FSH and LH, stimulate and regulate spermatogenesis and testosterone production respectively. Early detection of an increase in FSH and LH levels is indicative of a progressive decline in male sexuality and functionality.

Our “Complete” Male Hormone Saliva Test  includes the above-mentioned hormones plus cortisol  & insulin.

Why Test Saliva? Hormone levels in saliva represent the “active”  tissue concentrations, while blood contains mostly protein bound hormones, whose active levels can only be estimates at best. Urine contains both the active hormones and numerous metabolites and can only be used to gain gross estimate of hormone production over time. “Active” fraction measurements from saliva are superior to blood and urine total hormone levels in diagnosis and treatment.
