CREAMS?
Although menopause is
a normal part of a woman's maturation, many
individuals experience discomfort due to a
decrease in the levels of the sex hormones oestrogen and
progesterone.
Hormone replacement therapy is widely used to
counteract these symptoms, and with the increasing use of 'natural'
progesterone creams, it is vitally important to accurately assess the
levels of hormones. Our studies have indicated
that it is not uncommon for extremely high levels of progesterone to be
produced through the use of supplementation. If progesterone levels are high then many of
the symptoms it was
originally being used to counter may
actually recur.

Why use Saliva?
Recent studies have shown that there is an urgent need
for reliable, clinically relevant assessment of hormone activity. The
measurement of Oestradiol and Progesterone from saliva enables us to
accurately measure the free and therefore active components of these
hormones. Much of these hormones are bound in a protein form that is
usually measured in blood samples. It is possible to have a normal total
amount of a hormone, but this does not always represent the 'free'
hormones which are physiologically active. Saliva is
also a convenient method of assessing the levels of hormones produced by
hormone replacement therapy.
