Jurnack's, Naturally! offers a variety of hormone tests through DiagnosTechs, Inc. These tests utilize saliva samples to analyze the body's levels of certain hormones. Several test options, including male/female hormone, adrenal, and food sensitivity panels, are available for purchase at the store.
Saliva testing has long been used for measuring hormones like cortisol, estrogen and testosterone. Steroid hormones in the bloodstream (measured using traditional blood tests) are largely bound to carrier proteins, and in this form are unavailable to target tissues. Saliva testing measures the amount of hormone available to target tissues – known as the bioavailable amount. For this reason, saliva testing better relates to specific symptoms of excess or deficiency, and creates a useful picture of biologically active levels of hormones at the tissue and cellular level. Contact us or stop by the store if you are interested in any of the available saliva test panels! See pricing information below. |
"Saliva testing is the most reliable way to measure free, bioavailable hormone activity - hormones actually doing their job in the target tissues of the breast, uterus, brain, and skin. It is at the tissue level that hormones do their work or, if unbalanced, do their damage. ...Most standard blood tests do not measure bioavailable hormone levels." |
