Oestradiol Saliva Test

Only for Germany and Austria

• We would like to point out that these tests and the shipping processes are optimized for Germany and Austria and are prepaid.
• Samples must be delivered to the German laboratory within 4 days. This cannot be guaranteed for samples shipped from other countries!
• Orders from countries other than Germany and Austria are therefore at your own risk. In this case, we only accept the payment method "Prepayment (directly to us)", as customers cannot then cancel the purchase, e.g., because the sample arrived at the laboratory unusable through their own fault. Purchases made with any other payment methods that customers could unlawfully reverse will be immediately canceled and refunded.
• You can find more information about this from the manufacturer!

Oestradiol is the main antagonist of progesterone and testosterone

Of the oestrogens (oestrone [E1], oestradiol [E2] and oestriol [E3]), oestradiol is the most biologically active (and most potent). Oestradiol is produced in the ovaries, the placenta, the adrenal cortex and the testes, or is formed by the conversion of androgen precursors (testosterone). Oestradiol is responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics (breast development, fat distribution) and reproductive function. In women, oestradiol also builds up tissue and influences the female body shape. In women, oestradiol levels drop significantly after the menopause, which can trigger a number of symptoms.

Effects (excerpt):

• Promotes the proliferation of the endometrium

• Stimulates breast growth

• Increases body fat

• Reduces the utilisation of thyroid hormones

• Slightly inhibits osteoclast function

• Increases blood clotting

• When dominant: Reduces libido

• Worsens blood sugar levels

• Loss of zinc and accumulation of copper

• Reduces oxygen levels in all cells

• Increases the risk of uterine cancer

• Increases the risk of breast cancer

• Causes water and salt retention

• When dominant: contributes to depression and headaches

• Reduces vascular tone

Reduced secretion:

• Increased risk of osteoporosis • Reduced fertility • Reduced potency • Loss of libido • Erectile dysfunction • Post-menopausal or andropausal symptoms • Sleep disturbances (→ reduction in the growth hormone IGF-1) • IGF-1 also improves the regeneration of the skin and mucous membranes, enhances physical performance and counteracts stress. • depressive mood • headaches • hot flushes • increased sweating • thinner and more wrinkled skin • loss of feminine curves (reduction in breast size, loss of contour: waist-hip ratio)

Oestrogen dominance: (significant excess of oestradiol)

• Accelerated ageing • Infertility • Oedema, bloating, feeling of being ‘puffed up’ • Allergies (bronchial asthma, eczema, rhinitis, sinusitis, etc.) • Autoimmune disorders, e.g. Hashimoto’s disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis (MS) • Gallbladder disease • Menometrorrhagia • Increased adipose tissue, particularly on the abdomen, hips and thighs • Cold hands and feet due to thyroid dysfunction • Exhaustion • Mastodynia/mastopathies • Cervical dysplasia (abnormal development of the endometrium) • Depression with inner restlessness and anxiety disorders, panic attacks • Altered blood clotting with a risk of stroke, embolism, thrombosis, heart attack • Mood swings, irritability, difficulty concentrating, mnemonic disorders (memory loss, memory lapses) • Insomnia • Fibroids and cysts (ovaries, breasts) • Alopecia (hair loss) • Headaches, migraines • Osteoporosis • Breast cancer • Cervical cancer • Endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the womb)
