    ZRT labs e2 estradiol test accuracy


    are zrt labs estradiol tests accurate enough to dose arimidex?

    i mean i dont care if its like slightly less accurate then blood draw tests.

    like if i just want to get in the 20's with e2, will it at least be useful, with maybe a +/-5 deviation even?

    anybody have experience, or real knowledge, instead of "educated" guess?

    thanks in advance

    The only thing peculiar about their Estradiol, Sensitive is that their reference range is 3-70 pg/ml. I've seen others more like <50-55 or so.
