Additionally, research links lower testosterone levels to lower energy, decreased fat metabolism, muscle loss and even lower bone density.^1,2

According to the Mayo Clinic and from other longer term clinical research, men lose 1-2% of their ability to produce testosterone each year as they age.³  By age 45, available testosterone may have declined 25-50%.

As levels decrease, tracking them becomes more important.  In a recent national survey, 90% of men didn't know their levels.⁴  Progene’s®  saliva based testosterone test kit can easily provide this information in the privacy of your home.  A quick test can be done every 2-3 months to see how levels have progressed.

Benefits Include:
  - Painless, quick & easy saliva based test
  - Higher accuracy by testing up to 4 samples in a day
  - Anonymous & confidential.  Only a unique barcode identifies the samples at a CLIA certified lab.

Progene’s®  hospital grade, saliva (spit) based tests utilize an FDA Approved ELISA methodology.⁵

The ELISA testing methodology is an acronym for Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay and it is acknowledged to be a reliable format for a spectrum of laboratory analysis work.  The ELISA assay test system that is used to test samples has passed FDA clearance requirements and is suitable for use in diagnostic laboratory procedures.

The Journal of Endocrine Reviews indicates that the ease of testing makes saliva testing a better method to measure hormonal health than blood sampling.⁶

 

 

Results are anonymous & confidential:
All samples are not labeled with any personally identifiable information- only a unique Test ID# bar code.  As a "blind" test, this ensures that only the participant knows the results as it may relate to their individual circumstance and/or products being tested.

 

 

Test up to 4 samples:
While most other testing facilities only do 1 sample, Progene® tests up to 4 samples to offer a more accurate reading.

 

 

Factors that can influence test results:
Samples contaminated with food or other debris can result in unusually high or low numbers.  Other factors that can cause an abnormally low reading include physical stresses such as the lack of sleep or illness.  Finally, factors that can cause a higher reading include testosterone supplements and prescriptions.  For numbers outside of expected ranges, re-testing is suggested.
