Saliva testing is a non-invasive collection method where patients collect their saliva in plastic tubes in order to measure hormones like cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and androgens. This test is ideal for patients because it allows them to collect their sample in the privacy of their home.

Our pharmacists can look over your saliva test and suggest a fully customized protocol for your needs.

No Needles… No office visit. Dried blood spot is a form of collection where patients place blood drops in a filtered card after a finger prick with a lancet.

When consuming nutritional supplements and changing your lifestyle, it is important to know your exact levels of vitamins. Blood spot is ideal for measuring blood lipids, vitamin D, and elements like lead and magnesium. It offers distinct advantages over serum because it eliminates the need for a blood draw.

Neurotransmitter balance is required to prevent irregularities in brain stimulation resulting in many neurological and psychological symptoms. These symptoms can include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, impulsivity, insomnia, and PMS. Factors that cause neurotransmitter production include genetics, environmental factors, chemical and nutritional deficiencies.

Hormones act synergistically with neurotransmitters in the nervous system regulating their production, signaling and metabolism. The incomplete breakdown of hormones in the body can also increase the risk of certain cancers. Recently published studies have demonstrated a correlation between the amount of estrogen our body produces and metabolizes to significant implications for cancer risk such as breast cancer and prostate cancer. Therefore, combination testing of hormones and neurotransmitters presents the perfect opportunity to develop a more accurate clinical assessment, patient specific therapies, and eliminates the process of trial-and-error for treatment options.

Urinary hormone metabolites testing is a simple non invasive way of providing a unique diagnostic view revealing how the body is metabolizing important hormones such as estrogens, progestogens, androgens, cortisol and melatonin. Results of this testing can give insight as to whether we are properly breaking down hormones within our body and not increasing the risk of cancer attributable to hormone metabolites.

ZRT is the only lab to offer 24-hour equivalent in four easy collections – resulting in a more complete assessment of a patient’s neurochemistry.

ZRT’s dried urine method offers patients an alternative at home and discreet test to eliminate the need for an all day urine collection. This method involves patients collecting urine on a filter strip up to four times during the day. These dried strips have a shelf life of 30 days and are mailed back to the lab for analysis.
