Melatonin, Saliva x 4

This melatonin saliva x 4 test measures the amount of melatonin in our saliva by taking four different saliva samples. It is an at-home test that can understand and evaluate how melatonin changes in our body throughout the day.

This test requires the collection of 4 saliva tubes on the same day. One in the morning (within 30 minutes of waking), one in the afternoon (Mid-Day), one in the evening (around 4 PM) and the last one at bedtime (around 9 PM).

Results take 1 to 2 weeks upon receipt of the specimen by the laboratory.

Test Details

Testing by CLIA approved lab: Ayumetrix

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the brain's pineal gland and helps control sleep cycles. The production of melatonin is typically influenced by the time of the day. It should decrease during daytime or light hours and decrease during nighttime or dark hours. Melatonin production may also be influenced by seasonal changes, artificial light as well as the normal aging process.

This test will provide you with how your melatonin levels increase or decrease throughout the day. Melatonin not only aids in the circadian cycle, but may also aid in immune system function as well as act as an antioxidant to aid the body in protecting cells against free radicals that may cause diseases such as cardiovascular disease.

This test kit will be mailed to you via USPS. You will receive 4 saliva collection tubes as well as other materials in the test kit. Please review all instructions prior to performing this test. Depending on the tests ordered it may not be necessary to fill all 4 saliva tubes. All 4 saliva tubes must be filled if you have ordered any test that includes 4 cortisol or melatonin tests. Kits should be shipped via USPS back to the laboratory in the enclosed packaging. Results take 1 to 2 weeks upon receipt of the specimen by the laboratory.

TEST KIT REFUND POLICY- Kits can be cancelled anytime prior to sending the specimen to the lab. There is a $25 fee to cover the kit costs and shipping. So a full refund is minus $25.
