The aging process occurs when hormones were reduced. It is usually experienced by women when attacked menopouse, while in men during andropause.
The laboratory includes examination of the patient’s blood sample. In addition, the examination can also be done through testing saliva samples (saliva). Testing laboratory will analyze the hormone levels of each sample and the results will be presented to the patient.
In addition, there are other ways to find out the status of “aging” someone, namely the bone density test bone density alias detection. This is not much different from the check for osteoporosis or bone disorders. Actually osteoporosis occurs because there is a lack of hormones, especially DHEA.
DHEA is a hormone-forming estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. So, if the test results showing a decline in hormone DHEA, will surely threatened shortage of the hormone estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Of the urine can also be known if we had suffered attacks of aging or not. This examination is carried out through quantitative urine test for 24 hours. The goal is to see the levels of growth hormone. Only, this examination is not practical. The patient should collect 24 hour urine, with no end.
After 24 hours, urine is collected and then taken to the laboratory for examination. However, since this is rather inconvenient way, many people are reluctant to live it. Method is difficult, to collect urine for 24 hours.
I got my hormone levels tested in saliva through ZRT Laboratory. It was a very simple test I did at home. You can order tests on their website, they send you a testing kit, you collect the sample, send it in a prepaid envelope and then get the results.
