Studio : TestCountry/ZRT Laboratory Publisher : TestCountry/ZRT Laboratory Binding : Health and Beauty Product Description Due to state law, we can not ship this test to NY. For those in NY we recommend taking one of our saliva hormone tests instead. Our ZRT Female Blood Profile I tests the following hormone levels: Estradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone, SHGB, DHEA-S and Cortisol. By testing the levels of these hormones together, ZRT can create a hormone profile for the donor, which gives a more complete picture of health beyond testing a single hormone.
