Saliva Hormone Test Kits

Hormone levels from saliva

Steroid hormones are all produced from cholesterol and are divided into five different groups: progestin like progesterone, glucocorticoid e.g. cortisol, mineral corticoid e.g. Aldosterone, androgens e.g.  Testosterone and estrogens e.g. estradiol. Steroid hormones are able to cross the blood brain barrier. Their duration of effectiveness lasts from a few hours to several days, after that they are broken down by the liver. The production of steroid hormones is controlled by the peptide hormones of the pituitary gland, which in turn is controlled by the hypothalamus

Steroid hormones are in the blood almost completely bound to hormone binding proteins and in this form are a biologically inactive reservoir. Not even 5% of the entire hormone concentration is available in its free and biologically relevant form. The saliva hormones represent this active, biologically freely available component of the circulating steroid hormones. They represent the present hormone activity, whereas the total hormone level in serum, can be compared to a reservoir of hormones from whom free and active hormones can be regenerated. Due to secretion dependent fluctuation of the carrier proteins the saliva hormone levels are not comparable with the serum blood levels. The serum blood levels are more of a long term analysis, whereas the saliva levels are a snapshot of the momentarily present levels.

The saliva hormone measurement, cannot replace or be called superior to the serum blood test for steroid hormones. Depending on the question you want answered one or the other method is more suitable.

The serum blood method is methodically uncomplicated and indicates the amount of hormone available over a long time frame. The saliva test is more suitable for dynamic examinations such as functional tests.

Saliva Test Kit 1 – Stress day profile

2 x Cortisol morning and mid-morning

Cortisol is a so called activity or stress hormone. The cortisol level influences our protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism to supply us optimally during periods of activity and stress. As well as that it changes the mental reactivity and interferes with the immune defence. Cortisol is produced in the adrenal cortex and regulates the mineral and water balance in the kidney. The function in regard of the metabolism is the mental wellbeing, the immune function and the regulation of growth. It is produced in the second half of the night, so that it is available in the morning, for the daily activities and stresses. In the morning cortisol concentration is higher and in the evening it is lower. Therefore we are awake and alert in the morning and it give us energy throughout the day. While the lower levels help us to wind down and get ready for sleep at bed time. It is therefore the most important stress hormone that is released during psychological and physical stress situations. In times of continuous stress, the cortisol levels are always raised. If the situation is prolonged then the adrenal gland and/or the pituitary gland and hypothalamus cannot maintain the high hormone levels. We often find as a first sign of and adrenal imbalance the the cortisol levels have dropped by midmorning already down low to evening values, therefore lacking the energy to carry out your daily tasks.

Saliva Test Kit 2 – Stress Day Profile PLUS Stress Tolerance

2 x Cortisol (morning & mid morning), 1 x DHEA

Cortisol is a so called activity or stress hormone. The cortisol level influences our protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism to supply us optimally during periods of activity and stress. As well as that it changes the mental reactivity and interferes with the immune defence. Cortisol is produced in the adrenal cortex and regulates the mineral and water balance in the kidney.

While the lower levels help us to wind down and get ready for sleep at bed time. It is therefore the most important stress hormone that is released during psychological and physical stress situations. In times of continuous stress, the cortisol levels are always raised. If the situation is prolonged then the adrenal gland and/or the pituitary gland and hypothalamus cannot maintain the high hormone levels.

A consequence of the exhaustion of the adrenal glands is the reduction of pre-hormones progesterone and DHEA. DHEA is an important counterpart of cortisol and balances the cortisol level and therefore very important for our stress tolerance. But when stress over long time the DHEA levels drop and all the positive traits of the Cortisol and DHEA disappear. As well as that the androgen and estrogen hormones which are manufactured from them will be reduced too. Therefore if under stress you lose your desire for sex.

Many different medical conditions are aggravated by this hormonal imbalance:

  • Eczema
  • Psoriasis
  • Hay fever
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Adrenal exhaustion
  • Metabolic syndrome?
  • Obesity
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Other conditions

Saliva Test Kit 3 – Stress Day Profile, Stress Tolerance & Falling Asleep

3 x Cortisol (morning, mid-morning, at bed time) & 1 x DHEA

Cortisol is a so called activity or stress hormone. The cortisol level influences our protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism to supply us optimally during periods of activity and stress. As well as that it changes the mental reactivity and interferes with the immune defence. Cortisol is produced in the adrenal cortex and regulates the mineral and water balance in the kidney.

It is produced in the second half of the night, so that it is available in the morning, for the daily activities and stresses. In the morning cortisol concentration is higher and in the evening it is lower. Therefore we are awake and alert in the morning and in the evening time we are tired. It is therefore the most important stress hormone that is released during psychological and physical stress situations. In times of continuous stress, the cortisol levels are always raised. If the situation is prolonged then the adrenal gland and/or the pituitary gland and hypothalamus cannot maintain the high hormone levels.

A consequence of the exhaustion of the adrenal glands is the reduction of pre-hormones progesterone and DHEA.

As well as that the androgen and estrogen hormones which are manufactured from them will be reduced too. Therefore if under stress you lose your desire for sex.

As the stress continues, often problems such as difficulties to fall asleep arise, because of the too high cortisol levels at bedtime. Which leads to ever increasing levels of fatigue.

Many different medical conditions are aggravated by this hormonal imbalance:

  • Eczema
  • Psoriasis
  • Metabolic Syndrome/prediabetic?
  • weight gain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Aches and Pains
  • Reoccurring infections
  • Problems falling asleep
  • Anxiety/ Low mood
  • Cushing’s syndrome

Saliva Test Kit 4 – Night time waking

Cortisol & Melatonin (both at waking at night time)

Melatonin is a hormone which is produced by the pineal gland in our brain from serotonin. It was only discovered in 1958. Melatonin regulates our circadian rhythm, thus influencing biological functions in the course of 24 hours like sleep, blood pressure, cortisol production etc.

As soon as light shines onto the retina in our eyes the production of melatonin is inhibited. Darkness as opposed stimulates melatonin production. Therefore melatonin levels rise at night. This sleep promoting hormone reaches peak levels about three hours after midnight. Then they fall again.

Melatonin also has an annual rhythm. Short days in winter cause higher levels during daytime than in summer. The consequence can be sleep disorders, tiredness and SAD (seasonal affective disorder). Melatonin works as the internal body clock. The system can be disrupted by e.g. artificial illumination, electromagnetic energy, exercise, seasonal changes, long haul flights, shift work, impairment in methionine metabolism, aging and in blind people.

Relaxing sleep is also very important for our memory. If our sleep is disturbed by low melatonin levels this will also influence our cortisol levels and stress resistance.

Melatonin imbalances have been associated with a wide array of health problems, including:

  • Sleep disorders
  • Depression
  • Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
  • Chronic progressive multiple sclerosis
  • Menstrual irregularities
  • Mental health problems

Sampling is carried out directly at the night time waking, usually between two and three clock in the morning. Only one tube will be filled with a sample. From this same sample we also measure the cortisol value. Often, in cases of night time waking the melatonin levels are very low, but also high cortisol levels for this time of the night, can cause people to wake up at night.

Male and Female Hormone Imbalance


Saliva Test Kit 5 – Female Oestrogen dominance

Estradiol & Progesterone

In many women too little progesterone is produced in the ovaries. And further progesterone in a sort of antagonist to estrogen. Both hormones have to be present in a certain ratio to each other, to have balanced hormone levels. If progesterone is too low, then oestrogen influences the body too strongly. It is literally dominant. The same is the case, when an actual estrogen deficiency is present, for example during the menopause. The determining factor here is, if the progesterone deficit is even greater than the estrogen deficit.

The following symptoms can be an expression of estrogen dominance:

  • Headache
  • Marked desire for sweet food
  • Low libido
  • Sleeplessness
  • Dizziness
  • Hot flashes
  • Irritability
  • Breast tension
  • Weight gain
  • Water retention
  • Swollen feet
  • Cycle disturbances of various types
  • fertility problems
  • exhaustion
  • cycle irregularities
  • fibromyalgia
  • obesity
  • thyroid problems
  • etc.

Saliva Test Kit 7 – Male Estrogen Dominance

Testosterone & Estradiol

Estradiol is the predominant form of estrogen in the human, it also plays an important role in male hormone metabolism. In men it is produced in the adrenal glands, testis and the fatty tissue in small amounts and is important for the fertility and potency of men. Whereas Testosterone is the most important male sex hormone responsible for muscle power, condition, libido, staying power. Further it encourages fat metabolism and the production from vasoprotective HDL Cholestenol, improves brain function, normal height and hair growth and the building of amino acids and red blood cells.

The balance between Estradiol and Testosterone is more important, than if the individual results. Estrogen dominance in men can be due to high estrogen and/or low testosterone levels. The following general symptoms can be an expression of male estrogen dominance: headache, irritability, low moods, low sex drive, weight gain, water retention, swollen feet, increase thrombosis risk, thyroid function problems, higher risk of heart attack, development of breast, prostate enlargement, head hair loss, increased fat deposits and general puffiness and inability to sleep.

Saliva Test Kit 8 – Male Hormone Check Complete

Testosterone, Estradiol, DHEA & Progesterone

Contains all of Saliva test kit 7 Plus DHEA & Progesterone. DHEA is precursor to Testosterone and cortisol. I regulates the production of them and has at the same time a balancing effect on these hormones. DHEA is also know as the hormone for long live as it has many protective functions, but in too high amounts increase the aromatase activity which lead to many health problems. Progesterone is a pre-hormones to Testosterone. It is at the same time a Synergist & antagonist to estrogens and testosterone. They enhances on one hand those hormones, but also restricts over reactivity of hormones. Its antihypertensive, analgesic and antithrombotic action, our natural antidepressant, regulates zinc and cooper metabolism and protects the myelin sheet (protective membrane around nerves), as well as protects the cornea of the eye and has anti-osteoporosis actions.
