Why Saliva vs Blood Tests for Hormones?
Advantages of saliva vs blood testing of steroid hormones Saliva collection is easy, can be done anywhere, any time and at a much lower cost and considered non-invasive. Blood tests have to be drawn at a doctor's office or drawing station, and it is more difficult to obtain samples at the desired times (e.g. early am), multiple times through the day or late evening. There is usually a cost involved in drawing blood, independent of the cost for the test itself.

You will receive instructions with your kit for collecting the saliva and mailing it to ZRT Labs. It will also include a requisition form for you to indicate what hormones you want tested. The results will be mailed or e-mailed directly to you from the Laboratory.
