Urine Metabolites Kit

Urinary hormone metabolites testing provides a unique diagnostic view that no other hormone testing offers. Because it assesses both parent hormones and their corresponding metabolites, it reveals how the body is breaking down key hormones like estrogens, progestogens, androgens, cortisol and melatonin. This testing gives insight into whether we are fully detoxifying our hormones, which is important because some hormones can be carcinogenic if they don’t break down properly – leaving us more at risk for a variety of diseases, like cancer.

They include: 

A wide array of estrogen, progesterone, and androgen metabolites useful for assessment of breast cancer risk 

Glucocorticoid metabolites, diurnal free cortisol, and diurnal free cortisone for adrenal assessment

Diurnal 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (MT6s) to assess sleep/wake cycle dysfunction

The xenoestrogen bisphenol A (BPA) Sex steroid hormone metabolites results are useful for monitoring hormone therapy patients using patches, pellets or injectables.
