What can the MEDI CHECK Speicheltest tell you — and what not?

The MEDI CHECK Saliva Test (Hormone Check for Men) analyzes hormones such as testosterone, SHBG, lutropin, TSH, and prolactin from saliva. It can provide insight into your hormonal balance, e.g., whether certain markers fall within reference ranges. What it cannot do: diagnose conditions like hypogonadism or thyroid disorders, confirm chronic disease, or replace clinical evaluation. Saliva tests measure only free (unbound) hormone fractions and are subject to diurnal variation. A single test is not a substitute for medical assessment with blood work and clinical context. Evidence for saliva hormone testing is moderate; it serves better as a screening tool than a definitive diagnostic. Caveat: results can be influenced by time of day, food intake, or stress. Abnormal values require follow-up with a healthcare provider.
