Hormone monitoring optimizes your training results
When we exercise, a variety of hormones are released in the body, both with a building and a breaking effect. For example, when training too hard and frequently, the body is exposed to more stress, which negatively affects both recovery and muscle building. By gaining insight into your body's hormone secretion, any deviations that have a negative effect on your performance can be detected.How is the test done?
The test is performed through a saliva test that you can easily do yourself at home. Saliva is collected on two occasions during a day, the first saliva immediately after you wake up and one in the evening before you go to sleep. The sample is then sent to our ISO-certified laboratory for analysis and you will receive your answer digitally as soon as the lab has analyzed your sample. The test analyzes the following hormones:Cortisol
The stress hormone cortisol, which is released by the body during hard, prolonged exercise, can have a negative effect on the muscles. Cortisol is only harmful if levels are elevated in the body for a long time. Cortisol in moderate amounts has a positive effect on the body because, among other things, it helps prevent muscle and tendon damage.Testosterone
Testosterone is one of the most important hormones when it comes to building muscle, both in terms of stimulating muscle growth and helping muscles become stronger and more powerful. Testosterone also supports protein synthesis and also counteracts protein breakdown. In addition to its effects on your muscles, testosterone is highly involved in processes that strengthen the skeleton.DHEA
DHEA is one of the most important steroid hormones and is crucial for regulating the production of cortisol and testosterone. DHEA also helps increase physical strength and muscle mass.What is analysed
