Urine Hormone Metabolite Testing

Insight into whetheryour body is safely processinghormones

Page 2: Testing Urine Hormone Metabolites

Your body is constantly making a wide varietyof hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol & melatonin

Once used, those hormones are broken down as by-products & excreted in urine

Page 3: Testing Urine Hormone Metabolites

How those hormones are broken down & processed in your body can impact your long-term health

Page 4: Testing Urine Hormone Metabolites

This is important because some hormone metabolites can be extremely harmful when hormones don’t break down properly
