Saliva Steroid LCMS Profile 7
What does this test measure?
This focused saliva hormone panel measures 7 key steroid hormones using LC-MS technology for high accuracy. It includes:
- Primary estrogens (E1, E2, E3)
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- DHEA-S
- Cortisol
This test provides a snapshot of an individual’s hormonal status, particularly useful for monitoring hormone replacement therapy or evaluating imbalances in mid-life (e.g., peri-menopause, andropause). By using LC-MS/MS, it ensures precise quantification even at low hormone levels (important for saliva).
Who is this test most suitable for?
- Hormone replacement therapy patients
- Post-menopausal women or middle-aged men seeking baseline
- Fitness enthusiasts tracking anabolic/catabolic balance
Clinical Use
Clinically, it can confirm if hormone levels correspond with symptoms such as low energy or mood changes and aids in adjusting hormone dosages. It covers the main hormones involved in stress, metabolism, and reproductive function.
