Putting saliva and blood spot test materials together in one combination kit makes it convenient to collect hormones of the three major glandular systems--reproductive, thyroid, and adrenal--on the same day at the optimal time. This is the "three-legged stool" approach to hormone testing popularized by physician author, Richard Shames, M.D. (Thyroid Power), in his latest book, Feeling Fat, Fuzzy and Frazzled?

The Comprehensive Profile is recommended for men and women with signs and/or symptoms of menopause, andropause, adrenal and thyroid dysfunction.

Tests include: In saliva: Estradiol (E2), Progesterone (Pg), Testosterone (T), DHEA, and the four diurnal Cortisols. In bloodspot: free T3, free T4, TSH and TPO antibodies
