Ordering the Hormone Trio Saliva | ZRT Labs
Ordering the Hormone Trio Saliva | ZRT Labs helps measure three key hormones—estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone—using a simple saliva sample collected at home. These hormones play a direct role in energy, mood, sleep, and reproductive function. Interestingly, saliva testing can reveal hormone imbalances that may not show up in blood tests, especially for hormones that fluctuate throughout the day.
When ordering this test, you can expect the following specific benefits:
- Detects hormone imbalances that may contribute to symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, or sleep problems.
- Helps track hormone changes during menopause, perimenopause, or andropause.
- Supports fertility planning by identifying irregular hormone patterns.
- Assists in monitoring hormone therapy or supplement effectiveness.
- Provides a non-invasive, convenient way to collect samples at home.
Who Should Consider Hormone Balance Saliva Testing
People who experience ongoing tiredness, trouble sleeping, or changes in mood may benefit from this test. For example, someone who has noticed new hair loss, increased irritability, and trouble focusing at work might find answers by checking their hormone levels.
Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:
- Experiencing hot flashes or night sweats during menopause or perimenopause
- Dealing with low libido or sexual function changes
- Struggling with unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- Having irregular menstrual cycles or severe PMS symptoms
- Noticing memory problems or brain fog that seem to come and go with stress
Testing for hormone levels can help pinpoint the cause of symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, or sleep issues, making it easier to find the right treatment or next steps. Delaying this test could mean missing the chance to address hormone imbalances early, which may allow symptoms to continue or worsen over time.
Preparing for Saliva Hormone Panel Collection
Fasting is not required for this saliva test, so you can collect your sample at any time as directed. Always follow the instructions provided by your doctor or healthcare provider to make sure your sample is collected correctly and your results are as useful as possible.
