HORMONES CAN DEFINITELY MAKE YOU A BETTER ATHLETE
Hormones are essential for the proper function of your body,
athlete or otherwise. Whether you're exercising as part of a
healthy lifestyle, training as part of your involvement in a
specific sport, or into serious bodybuilding, three hormones,
testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and cortisol, can
help you get the most out of your workout. Proper levels of
these hormones help your body function at its maximum
potential.
PerformanceCheck measures your levels of these three
hormones that contribute to much of your body's functioning
ability. Testosterone, commonly recognized as the "male"
hormone, is also very important to women as well. In addition
to sexual development and function, testosterone can play a
vital role for men and women in lean muscle and bone
development, lean body mass, and cardiovascular fitness. DHEA
is a precursor hormone from which testosterone and other
hormones are produced. Low levels of DHEA have been associated
with obesity and poor cardiovascular fitness, while normal
DHEA levels can help increase muscle strength and lean body
mass. Cortisol helps activate your body when stress is imposed
upon it, maintaining and even increasing your energy levels,
as well as affecting blood pressure. These hormones are
important for optimal athletic performance.
WHAT WILL IT DO FOR ME?
PerformanceCheck is a safe, easy-to-use, and reliable
screen that uses a saliva sample to measure your levels of
