Comprehensive Menopause Profile
Why should my hormone levels be tested?
Research has shown that following menopause, a marked
decrease in levels of estrogen,
progesterone and other sex hormones produces
several distinct changes in female physiology. These changes can have a dramatic
impact on a woman's physical and emotional health.
Many conditions associated with this period of a woman's life, however, can be
effectively overcome or modulated by re-establishing optimal hormonal balance. Low
hormones levels have been shown to be the underlying cause for symptoms associated
with:
Vaginal dryness
Frequent headaches
Foggy thinking
Skin elasticity
Irregular Blood sugar levels
Lean body mass
Muscle and bone development
Fatigue
Sleep Disorders
Hypertension/Heart Disease
Loss of libido
Impaired thyroid
The Comprehensive Menopause Profile identifies deficiencies
(or excesses) of important sex hormones (estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone)
and provides an easy-to-use tool for monitoring clinical therapy as well as a
measurement of cortisol, DHEA, and melatonin. This will give you a complete picture
of how adrenal hormones and melatonin may also be playing a role in producing symptoms
and/or imbalances.
How does the test work?
As women become increasingly aware of the role that hormones
play in their health throughout their entire lives, they are realizing the urgent
need for reliable, clinically relevant assessment of hormone activity. The
Comprehensive Menopause Profile is a safe, non-invasive saliva assay that analyzes
levels of progesterone, testosterone, ß-estradiol.
