Saliva sample testing is fast becoming the diagnostic data collector of choice in a variety of medical testing. Over the past two years, American scientists are turning more to the accuracy of results in saliva sample tests, more than traditional blood and urine tests. Ovu-Trac® is at the leading edge of this scientific knowledge with its ovulation test and predictor kit. These fertility test kits can help women who are trying to conceive a child determine when they are ovulating.
The reason behind this scientific thinking lies with the amount of free bio-available hormones. These are hormones that are not bound or used by the body, which are found in abundance in saliva. Saliva testing is noninvasive and more accurate because the lower degree of interference or tampering of the sample. It paints a complete picture of a person's DNA.
It is widely known that saliva can reveal use of alcohol and drugs. Currently, diagnostic tests for diseases and conditions as (HIV), hypogonadism, measles, hepatitis, certain cancers, stress and menopause are used with dependable accuracy. However, researchers are discovering much more about the investigative abilities of saliva. Scientists are close to developing a saliva test for monitoring Type 2 Diabetes. They have found that human saliva carries markers of breast cancer. A saliva test might also help healthcare practitioners detect some forms of autism. All of these discoveries could potentially lead to early treatments for patients and demonstrates the new wave of utilizing saliva for more efficient, accurate, and lower cost testing.
This is hardly news to Colleen Biggs, President and Founder of Ovum Optics, the makers of Ovu-Trac®. Spanish gynecologist Biel Cassals knew this in 1969, when he discovered that saliva crystallization during hormonal changes could indicate imminent ovulation in women with a high degree of accuracy. Biggs developed the ovulation predictor kit based on this knowledge with the hopes that it would not only help women with predict fertility but it would also help them learn more about their own bodies.
As opposed to blood or urine tests, Ovu-Trac® can more precisely predict ovulation by allowing women to save the results from previous saliva fertility tests to determine their individual patterns. This is particularly helpful for women who have irregular fertility and ovulation cycles. For these women, traditional testing kits were not customizable for their particular cycle pattern. But with the use of Ovu-Trac®, a 96.2% accurate saliva fertility tester and predictor kit, women can see results that are tailor-made for them so they can properly and successfully plan their families.
