Saliva Hormone Tests

[Inquirer]

This post is for guys who have recent experience with saliva hormone test kits (the kind you mail in). What brands do you use, and where do you get yours? What are your experiences with them? Any problems -- getting a good sample, shipping, turnaround, etc.? All responses appreciated!

They dont work, well they only work for cortisol testing. With that being said zrt labs is what most people use.

The concentration of hormones in blood is 1000 times greater than saliva. For that reason, even a tiny cut in the mouth, which is common, will throw off the test results. That is why they dont work and are a rip off. It is common knowledge on this board that they dont work so I doubt anyone will respond.

I have used them and I think they work well.
