Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy involves using synthetic hormones to replace the ones the body produces out of balance. Before and after treatment, patients should undergo tests to establish hormone baselines. This is where salivary hormone testing comes in.
Years of clinical practice have shown that saliva testing is the most accurate method to measure the body’s availability of key hormones, such as estrogens, testosterone, progesterone, cortisol, melatonin, and DHEA.
