What is the purpose of this test?
The ZRT Lab's Female/Male Saliva Profile II—ZRT Test Kit measures hormone levels in your body using a saliva sample. It checks for key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, and cortisol, but it includes an extra measurement of cortisol in the evening to better understand your daily hormone patterns.
This test is important because hormone imbalances can cause issues like fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, and stress. By measuring these hormone levels, including the additional PM cortisol, doctors can more accurately identify any imbalances and recommend treatments, such as lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, or medications, to help restore balance and improve your overall health.

- Estradiol (E2)
- Progesterone (Pg)
