Hormones Do A Lot For Women

Ever laugh or cry or get mad or get hungry? That's your hormones hard at work. Hormones can affect many vital functions in your body. That's why keeping your hormones in their proper balance is essential to the way you live. For women, FemaleCheck by BodyBalance can help you monitor hormone levels.

Here's something you should know: hormones don't just control sexual function and activity. Hormones affect your body physically and emotionally. Estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone have a strong influence over women's health:
  • PMS
  • Menstrual cycle
  • Pregnancy
  • Menopause
  • Skin elasticity
  • Lean body mass
  • Muscle and bone development
  • Sleep patterns
  • Various physical and emotional responses
These are just some of the major areas these three hormones influence. Thus, keeping your hormones in their proper balance is essential to living well.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU . . .
FemaleCheck is a safe, easy-to-use, non-invasive, and reliable screen that uses a simple saliva sample to measure your levels of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone, which are vital to a woman's hormonal balance.

Results and information are for personal use only, are not intended to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or other conditions, and are not intended to provide a determination or assessment of the state of health. Many factors influence hormone status, and this product reviews only three of these factors. Always consult with a licensed health care professional to interpret screen results and/or make healthcare decisions. This screen was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratory, Inc. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

When to collect . . .
To accurately measure your hormone levels, you should always collect saliva at approximately the same time of day-- we suggest first thing in the morning.

In measuring levels of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone, we recommend the following sample collection schedule: If you are menstruating normally or even sporadically, please collect saliva on day 20, 21, or 22 after the first day of your last period. (It may be helpful for you to mark the appropriate days on your calendar). If you are skipping periods for months at a time or are post-menopausal, you may collect at any time.

Special Note:
FemaleCheck reports baseline levels of hormones and reference ranges for these levels. These ranges can be used when hormone replacement therapy is in progress or if you are using birth control pills or other medications affecting hormone levels, but all medications you are currently using should be listed and noted to your healthcare practitioner. The levels will reflect the medications your are currently using. If you are taking birth control pills at bedtime, take your birth control pill six hours earlier than usual the night before you do your saliva collection the next morning. If you are taking your birth control pills in the morning, do your saliva collection first, then take your birth control pill.
