It is not FDA approved: no quality control, no statistical analysis.
Without this data, no test has scientific bases.
IT IS JUNK.




Since when did anybody on this board start listening to the FDA? All they are is ungovorned drug pushers.

Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now.

In all honesty, it isn't a fair comparison. The FDA can not "approve" nutrients or herbs because they are natural substances.

I have no idea if the FDA can or can not approve of a hormone testing kit, but obviously if saliva tests were as accurate as blood tests then that would be the norm since it's cheaper, faster and easier. I don't think even the manufacturers would claim that a saliva test is as accurate as blood test.

FDA approves all test. This is not a nutritional supplement. It is a test.
If this test manufacturer applies for approval, these would be the must questions:
1. Does testosterone level in saliva closely reflect blood levels?
2. What are the conditions that can increase or decrease saliva levels of testosterone without effecting blood levels?
3. Where do you want to draw cutoff lines, the lower limit and the upper limit? If you want to tell someone that his test level is too low, or too high, you want to be reasonably sure of that fact.

You only get this information by performing clinical studies on reasonably large enough number of people.
Otherwise, it is JUNK.

Never in my life have I heard of a FDA approved blood test.

First of all you misunderstood my point. People were saying that the FDA didn't approve supplements and I explained why. The testing of a "test" is a different subject and I don't understand your statement that the FDA "Approves all tests." That's just not so.

But were not that far off in our contentions. Saliva tests are a "ballpark" estimation since saliva can not possible be as pure as what is directly in the bloodstream. So it's up to the customers. Do not expect it to be as accurate,but if you just want to check if your T level isn't extreme one way or the other, it might be fine.
