Canary Club COMBO Hormone Profile Kit The COMBO Hormone Profile Kit tests the Thyroid, Adrenal & Reproductive (Testes or Ovaries) Glands. Home saliva and "blood spot" testing is an easy, reliable and non-invasive way of assessing your hormone levels. If symptoms include: Assessing all 4 Cortisol levels is particularly important. Also essential for those who are experiencing fluctuating blood sugar levels, stress, weight gain (around the waist), bone loss, infertility, sensitivity to chemicals and increased joint pain. What do the adrenal glands actually do? Your adrenal glands are two tiny pyramid-shaped pieces of tissue situated right above each kidney. Their job is to produce and release, when appropriate, certain regulatory hormones and chemical messengers. The human body is organized so as to be able to respond immediately to threatening situations by generating a tremendous amount of energy in a hurry, which enables the person to run away quickly, or face the threat and fight it with a massive influx of chemical support. These chemicals increase blood pressure, heart rate, and blood flow to muscles, while mobilizing sugar to burn. Nerve impulses from the brain cause the release of adrenaline from the adrenal gland, which helps you react appropriately in immediate short-term stress situations (the "fight or flight" response). Cortisol, the other chemical from the adrenal gland, is made in the exterior portion of the gland, called the adrenal cortex. Cortisol, commonly called hydrocortisone, is the most abundant -- and one of the most important -- of many adrenal cortex hormones. Cortisol helps you handle longer-term stress situations. In addition to helping you handle stress, these two primary adrenal hormones, adrenaline and cortisol, along with others similarly produced, help control body fluid balance, blood pressure, blood sugar, and other central metabolic functions. A major connection exists between low thyroid and low adrenal. Low adrenal, also called adrenal insufficiency, can actually cause someone's thyroid problem to be much worse than it would be otherwise. Correction of low adrenal is similar to correction of low thyroid. Why is it important for low thyroid people to know the levels of their adrenal hormones? Combo Kit Home hormone test is easy to use and includes: In saliva: Estradiol (E2), Progesterone (Pg), Testosterone (T), DHEA-S (DS), and the four diurnal Cortisols In blood spot: freeT3, freeT4, TSH and TPO Your reproductive and adrenal hormones are collected in saliva, while your thyroid hormones are tested by blood spot collection with a finger stick. Saliva testing has been established for a number of years and is considered the "gold standard" for certain hormone measurements. Thyroid molecules collected by a finger stick are equivalent to tests drawn at your doctor's office and have an established record of validity Your test results are state of the art, combined in one friendly, easy-to-read report and are mailed to you at the address you provide when ordering. ZRT emails you a link when results are ready. If you wish to access results on-line, as well, they will provide you a user name and password. The Canary Club is pleased to offer The Combo Kit from ZRT, a Comprehensive Hormone Profile, which combines saliva and blood spot testing materials in an easy to use, home collection kit. This allows you to test the three major glandular symptoms -reproductive, thyroid and adrenal - all on the same day. Special price is $225.00 Read the Saliva Hormone Testing article by David Zava, PhD We are happy to provide testing to Canary Club members in most countries and all states in the U.S.with the exception of New York.)
