[QUOTE="widget, post: 21718, member: 10367"] I wanted to get everyone's input on Saliva testing of Testosterone. My current doctor insists on its usage (yet does serum testing for DHT) and although my dosage didn't change, my testosterone levels came back five times higher than three months ago using the saliva tests. This has led me to look further into their credibility. What are your thoughts/experiences with saliva testing? The company that does the testing is called Labrix. On their website, they state the reason to use saliva testing as-- Protein bound hormones do not fit the receptors and are considered non-bioavailable. When blood is filtered through the salivary glands, the bound hormone components are too large to pass through the cell membranes. Only the unbound hormones pass through and into the saliva. Saliva testing measures the bioavailable hormone - the clinically relevant portion delivered to the receptors in the tissues of the body. [/QUOTE]
