Was thinking about checking this, has anyone ever used a product like this before? I am curious about my current levels and want to compare another test to one I had done at the doctors office a few months ago.
Is it a reliable test?

I have used it twice. First time was almost dead even with the results from my bloodwork. My Doc. says that saliva is more accurate anyways. Second is a test I did to see if my changes had made improvements. Have not heard back yet.
Pros: definately is worth the money...easy to use...super customer service. Cons: only complaint is has taken a few weeks for results. I would definately keep buying to keep tabs on what works and what doesnt. Hope that helps.

I've never used one of these myself, but my understanding is that they're a fairly standard procedure these days.
No brain, no gain.

Recieved my results for my second test today. My baseline number was 45.8. Their chart lists their numbers as this:35 and under as deficient...35-75 as not deficient but less than ideal...75-120 is the optimal range...120 plus levels are out of range and to consult your healthcare provider. I gave u the short version of their number explanations. You can tell as why I was concerned. Wanting the most from my workouts I needed an answer. I was less than ideal!!
Novadex was the product I chose and used it and tested at about 4and a half weeks in(1 pill a day at night...2 is too many as I am only 170). My number that came back on the novadex.....176!!!! So this is not optimum either..I need to consult Gasparis to see if I should try an every other day doseage. This product (saliva test)is helping me find OPTIMUM.
Sidenote on the Novadex...felt tight and pumped and aggressive...weights went up...so did my gut. Gained a little unwanted weight. I could not complete the eight week cycle as I started getting a strong heart pounding feeling that was making me uncomfortable.....stopped product and pounding stopped. Hope this helps

I am trying novadex XT also, and am in my 3rd week, no negative side effects yet, I was curious to see what effect it is having.
I can feel it working though, my strength seems to be going up a little bit.

I got a blood test,Originally Posted by Old-Time-Lifter
but I wan't sure how this type of test stacked up to a blood test, it was 420, it sounds like the test linked in my OP may not measure the same way.Last edited by chodan9; 03-20-2009 at 07:18 PM.
