At-Home Test Kit: Hormone Trio — Saliva-Based Estrogen, Progesterone & Testosterone Test
Starting a hormone balance routine without knowing your starting point is a bit like adjusting a thermostat in a room you’ve never measured the temperature of. The Hormone Trio test kit is a saliva-based test panel that establishes baseline levels for three of the most clinically relevant hormones — providing the information needed to select the right hormone replacement therapy, whether that’s Feminine Balance Therapy, Balance Plus Therapy, or Masculine Balance Therapy.
How the Hormone Trio Test Kit Establishes Your Hormonal Baseline
Saliva is the best way to measure free and active hormone levels — a great way to test hormones like estrogen and testosterone or to monitor hormone therapy. This matters because up to 99% of these hormones in the blood can be bound to proteins and inactive, meaning a standard blood test may not reflect the hormone levels your tissues are experiencing. Saliva testing instead captures the free, biologically active fraction.
This test provides baseline hormone levels prior to selecting the hormone replacement therapy of your choice. It tests for and helps identify markers associated with amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), PMS, DUB (dysfunctional uterine bleeding), estrogen dominance symptoms, hypogonadism, sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis risk, fibrocystic breast disease, PCOS screening, anovulation, and menopausal symptoms. For men, the same panel helps monitor for estrogen dominance, hypogonadism, andropause, fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and osteoporosis screening — making it ideal for establishing a baseline before starting Masculine Balance Therapy.
Ideal For
- Anyone considering Feminine Balance Therapy, Balance Plus Therapy, or Masculine Balance Therapy who wants a baseline first
- Women with PMS, irregular cycles, or suspected estrogen dominance
- Men with symptoms of andropause — fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction
- Those monitoring existing hormone therapy for effectiveness
- Anyone who prefers at-home saliva collection over a clinic blood draw
The Topical Hormone Testing Note — Why This Matters If You Already Use a Cream
When hormones are applied topically to the skin, they show up in the capillary blood (measured in a blood spot) and in saliva — but not in serum. This means someone using a progesterone cream could have a standard blood (serum) test come back showing low hormone levels, leading a doctor to (incorrectly) recommend increasing the dose, when the hormones are reaching the body and showing up in saliva or blood spot testing instead.
Unlike testing with some other labs, you do not need to stop taking hormones for results from this kit to be accurate — the partner lab uses reference ranges adjusted for age, menstrual status, and different types of hormone supplementation, meaning the Hormone Trio kit can be used to monitor an existing routine, not just establish a starting point. Due to the nature of at-home test kits, returns are not accepted once opened — see the return policy for details.
How to Use
Collect your saliva sample at home following the detailed directions included in the kit. Mail the sample to the partner lab using the provided materials. Results are returned with reference ranges adjusted for your age, sex, and any current hormone supplementation.
