Hormonal Profile
Laboratory service for the quantitative determination of key hormones involved in one of the following profiles:
Sports
Weight Loss
Stress
Sleep
What are They?
Hormones are produced by endocrine glands and, through blood circulation and biological fluids, reach the cells of various organs and tissues, regulating their functions.
They act as chemical messengers in the body’s biological processes: metabolism, growth, development, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, heart rate, body temperature, fluid volume and salt percentage, sexual desire, reproduction, energy utilization and storage, sleep cycles, and anti-aging processes.
When the level of one or more hormones is low or high, hormonal imbalances occur.
Symptoms
This is a slow and gradual “intoxication” that causes a range of symptoms: excess weight, headaches, metabolic problems, skin problems, gastritis and/or colitis, water retention, intestinal problems, fatigue, bloating, insomnia…
Our Hormonal Profiles
This laboratory kit is used for collecting saliva samples, which allows for the analysis of one of the following profiles:
Suitable for individuals engaging in moderate physical activity, as well as for those at a competitive level, to assess their performance.
-
Cortisol: To assess appropriate recovery times and to prevent inflammation of tendons and muscles.
-
Testosterone: For increasing muscle mass and reducing fat mass.
-
DHEA: Regulator of energy flow, aiding in performance and regeneration.
- First sample: in the morning, immediately upon waking
- Second sample: after 6:00 PM
For individuals following a diet plan, hormonal imbalances can be crucial for achieving results.
-
Leptin: Regulates feelings of hunger.
-
Testosterone: For increasing muscle mass and reducing fat mass.
-
DHEA: Helps in reducing adipose tissue.
-
Progesterone: At low levels, it helps in reducing water retention.
-
Cortisol: Its excess favors the formation of visceral fat.
-
regeneration.
- First sample: in the morning, immediately upon waking
- Second sample: after 6:00 PM
For individuals experiencing fast-paced lifestyles, anxiety, and unstable lifestyles:
-
DHEA: Improves the balance between the body’s organs and tissues.
-
Cortisol: Increases in states of psychophysical stress, indicating the level of stress response.
- First sample: in the morning, immediately upon waking
- Second sample: after 6:00 PM
-
Melatonin: Has a calming and sedative effect, with maximum concentrations at night.
-
Cortisol: Increases in states of psychophysical stress, indicating the body’s response to stress.
- First sample: in the morning, immediately upon waking
- Second sample: after 10:00 PM
Intended for the measurement of cortisol, the hormone that affects stress response, metabolism, and the immune system.
-
2 samples: in the morning (after waking) and after 10:00 PM
-
4 samples: after waking, at 12:00 PM, at 4:00 PM, and after 10:00 PM
-
6 samples: after waking, at 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and after 10:00 PM
