Essential Profile

The Essential profile is identical to the Balance profile, with respect to primary hormones and metabolites measured. This panel measures estrogens and clinically relevant estrogen metabolites, which allow for assessment of cancer risk factors and detoxification pathways. Pregnanediol assays progesterone activity in the body. DHEA, testosterone and their metabolites provide a detailed assessment of androgen function. The Essential profile does not include 4-point Cortisol and Cortisone measurement and graphing, but does include all other adrenal hormones and metabolites.
