The Hormone Check
Hormones are essential for the proper function of your
body, athlete or otherwise. Whether you're exercising as
part of a healthy lifestyle, training as part of your
involvement in a specific sport, or into serious
bodybuilding, three hormones, testosterone,
dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and cortisol, can help you
get the most out of your workout. Proper levels of these
hormones help your body function at its maximum potential.
PerformanceCheck by BodyBalance measures
your levels of these three hormones that contribute to
much of your body's functioning ability. Testosterone,
commonly recognized as the "male" hormone, is also very
important to women as well. In addition to sexual
development and function, testosterone can play a vital
role for men and women in lean muscle and bone
development, lean body mass, and cardiovascular fitness.
DHEA is a precursor hormone from which testosterone and
other hormones are produced. Low levels of DHEA have been
associated with obesity and poor cardiovascular fitness,
while normal DHEA levels can help increase muscle strength
and lean body mass. Cortisol helps activate your body when
stress is imposed upon it, maintaining and even increasing
your energy levels, as well as affecting blood pressure.
These hormones are important for optimal athletic
performance.
WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU...
PerformanceCheck is a safe, easy-to-use, and reliable
screen that uses a saliva sample to measure your levels of
testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol, hormones that can be
crucial for an effective workout. This noninvasive and
inexpensive health screen provides the accuracy of a
laboratory analysis without you having to leave the
comfort of your own home. PerformanceCheck is designed for
two types of people: those who are into more overall
physical, endurance-type training; and those who are
interested in bodybuilding, gaining muscle mass and adding
bulk to their frames. Whichever category fits you best,
PerformanceCheck can provide equally powerful benefits.
When you order your screen, we'll send a complete kit to
you. You collect the required saliva sample and send it
back to us in the prepaid return mailer provided. Within
7-10 working days of receiving your sample, we'll send
your results to you.
WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF...
BodyBalance enables you to read your results and compare
them to the general population. You can then work with
your healthcare provider to develop an appropriate program
to maintain and promote well being.
