Are you living with a hormone imbalance?

Hormones are chemical messengers that affect the way your cells and organs function. It’s normal for hormone levels to fluctuate over time, such as with your monthly cycle, during pregnancy, or with the onset of menopause.

Research has long shown that fluctuating levels of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone play a major role in a woman's overall health affecting a variety of conditions including menstrual cycles, sleep patterns, menopause, infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome, PMS and endometriosis.

The salivary 28 day hormone test is a comprehensive assessment of oestradiol, progesterone, and testosterone over a 28 day period of a female’s regular menstrual cycle. Hormone imbalances reveal the rhythm of hormones and their fluctuations which can help identify the key causes of disorders such as premenstrual syndrome, infertility, and menstrual irregularities.

*This test is suitable for both premenopausal and perimenopausal women not currently supplementing with hormones.

What's included

In women androgens are produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands and fat cells. Women may produce too much or too little of these hormones - disorders of androgen excess and deficiency are among the more common hormonal disorders in women.

Too much oestrogen is linked to acne, constipation, loss of sex drive, depression, weight gain, PMS, period pain, and thyroid dysfunction. The effects of low oestradiol are evident in menopause and include mood swings, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats and osteoporosis.

Progesterone is the sex hormone produced mainly in the ovaries following ovulation and is a crucial part of the menstrual cycle. Progesterone helps to combat PMS and period pain issues, assists fertility and promotes calmness and quality of sleep.

The progesterone/ oestrogen ratio provides insights into hormonal balance during the menstrual cycle, helping to assess whether there is proper luteal phase function, potential oestrogen dominance, or progesterone deficiency, which can affect fertility, menstrual regularity, and symptoms like PMS.
