Why
Should I Have My Melatonin Levels Screened?
Melatonin assists your body's ability for healthy sleep. Melatonin is
secreted in greater amounts at night and less during the day, thus your
tendency to become sleepier at night. You and your health care provider
may also use the information to monitor changes in melatonin levels affected
by therapy and aging.
Does
Saliva Provide An Accurate Measure of Melatonin Levels?
Saliva screening is a simple, noninvasive way to determine your melatonin
levels. Research shows that the levels of hormones in saliva parallels
levels of hormones in blood. BodyBalance salivary hormone health screens
provide a direct link to hormone levels without the inconvenience and
expense of blood collection by revealing the levels of "unbound"
hormones in the system--those directly available to cells in your body.
