Saliva is considered to be a better indicator of biologically active hormone levels than blood - more accurately reflecting the body's functional hormone status. Saliva testing provides a simple noninvasive means of determining if hormone levels are within the expected normal range for one's age and gender. It is also an accurate method of evaluating how hormone replacement therapy, topical hormone creams, sublingual hormone drops, diet, herbal therapy and exercise influence these levels. One of the most common and predictable aspects of aging is the age-related shifting of hormone levels, resulting in many of the diseases and disabilities of aging. Restoration of these parameters to a functional balance should result in a reduction of biological age and the likelihood of a healthy extended life span.
