Fitness Test Kit

Human body consists of different organs. These different organs need different types of hormones secreted by glands to function properly. Hormones are chemical messengers. Testosterone, estrogen, progestin and protein polypeptide hormones are some of the types of hormones. Low testosterone and DiHydroTestosterone (DHT) levels affect mood, energy, sexual function and physical health. In addition, it weakens the inner defense mechanism against the pressure of stress. Hormonal imbalance might be the reason if you feel tired, your muscles pain after a long workout and your weight decreases.

If you are suffering from hormonal imbalance and want to know your hormone levels then you can have OptiMale Testosterone Health Check with fitness test kit.

The amount of freely available hormones represents the amount of hormones found in saliva.
