LCMS saliva steroid panel 23

Overview

The LCMS saliva steroid panel 23 examines a comprehensive range of steroid hormones and related compounds present in saliva, utilising advanced liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology. This analysis encompasses various groups including oestrogens, progesterone-related substances, androgens, adrenal steroids, melatonin, as well as selected synthetic or pharmaceutical compounds. By profiling multiple steroid hormones simultaneously, the test offers a detailed overview of hormonal patterns within saliva samples.

This panel can offer valuable insights for those interested in exploring hormone balance and interaction from a wellness or lifestyle perspective. Measuring various hormones together allows for observation of their relative amounts and interactions rather than isolated values. Such information can aid understanding of hormonal fluctuations or trends related to natural life stages, energy management, or general wellbeing.

Results from the LCMS saliva steroid panel 23 are often reviewed alongside lifestyle factors, individual history, symptom tracking, use of supplements or medications, and other relevant information. This comprehensive approach supports informed conversations about hormonal health markers, assisting in personal optimisation and research-oriented enquiries. It can be a useful tool for exploring broader aspects of hormonal balance and endocrine-related wellness.
