HORMONES DO A LOT MORE 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 CAN IT DO FOR ME?
FemaleCheck is a safe, easy-to-use, noninvasive, 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. FemaleCheck
offers you the reliability of a laboratory analysis from the
comfort of your own home. When you order your screen, we'll

factors influence hormone status, and this product reviews

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 should not be used when
hormone replacement therapy is in progress or if you are using
birth control pills or other medications affecting hormone
levels.
