Irene talked about Saliva Hormone Testing!
Saliva testing is an accurate and simple way for anyone who wants to evaluate their hormones without going to the doctors office or subject themselves to a needle. Saliva reflects the portion of circulating hormones in the bloodstream that are unbound by serum binding proteins ( free or bioavailable) and therefore are able to enter tissues throughout the body. The salivary hormone values, therefore reflect the biologically active (the unbound) portion availabe to target cells. Blood hormone assays reflect both bound and free forms of hormones and do not provide information about the bioavailable fraction of hormone, which can vary depending on the level of blood hormone binding protein. Saliva hormone testing tells us the amount of hormones on our body that are actually usable by our cells.
At DayNight Pharmacy we use Rocky Mountain Analytical to process our saliva testing, it is an accredited laboratory in Canada . At Rocky Mountain, they offer saliva, urine, glucose, allergy and nutritional testing. Saliva and additional tests are not covered by OHIP, and operate outside the publicly funded system, however some private insures may cover the cost. Hormone testing is approximately $45- 50 per hormone. The test kits can be picked up at DayNight Pharmacy but are conducted in the privacy of the patients home. The kits are safe and easy to do, and come with a pre-paid currier bag which is sent back to Rocky Mountain Anlytical. It takes approximately 10-business days in which the results are sent back to Irene Hogan. The patient is then notified when results are in, followed by a consultation to review the results.
