The approach

Measure first, then decide

Without measured values, any treatment is guesswork. We turn that around: the lab report comes first, the decision second.

Consultation to put the measured values in context

01
Measure Free melatonin from one night-time saliva sample, analysed at a partner laboratory in Germany.
Melatonin · Night-time saliva · 7–21 days from sample arrival
02
See where you stand Every value appears in the lab report with the laboratory's reference range. You can see which values fall inside it and which do not.
Lab report including a consultation
03
Targeted, not blanket Instead of a standard package you take what your values call for — agreed with a practitioner.
Initial consultation, 10 minutes, free
04
Measure again after a few months The same analysis a second time shows how the values have changed.
Earliest sensible interval: 3 months

Ory experts are with you

Doctors and non-medical practitioners from the Ory team are there for you throughout — for the lab report and everything after it.

Initial consultation

What a value means, and whether a supplement is right for you, is something to discuss with a practitioner. This page makes no recommendation and is no substitute for medical assessment.

What this analysis covers

What is measured

Free melatonin in night-time saliva — the most direct marker of the body clock.

A713OM Melatonin (night-time saliva) Central timing hormone for the sleep-wake rhythm and recovery

The biomarker reference explains what lies behind the numbers: how values interact, which cofactors are involved and which biochemical processes take place in the body — for all values and areas, not only this analysis.

To the biomarker reference

For whom

The melatonin test suits trouble falling asleep, waking at night, daytime tiredness, a rhythm disturbed by shift work or jet lag, and as a basis for targeted melatonin supplementation — measure first, then act.

What a single value means in your situation is something to discuss with a practitioner. It does not replace medical assessment.

How it works

Four steps from order to lab report.

01 Kit arrives Sent the next working day, postage paid, to your door.
02 Collect the saliva At about 21:00 the evening before, at home.
03 Send it in Post it in the postage-paid envelope.
04 Receive the report 7–21 days after the sample arrives.

Instructions

The essentials first:

Collect the saliva sample at about 21:00 the evening before, in dim light.
Let the saliva run passively into the tube, do not spit.
Close the tube firmly and send it off.

Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation matters: it is what allows your sample – stool, urine, saliva or blood – to be evaluated cleanly and meaningfully.

Sending your sample back

To make sure your sample reaches the laboratory safely, follow the rule for your country.

Country	Postage	Shipping
Germany	Already paid	Return postage is prepaid, you do not need to add a stamp.
Austria	Add your own stamp	To our address in Vienna, not to Germany.
Switzerland	Add your own stamp	Separate return bag for Switzerland, sent to Germany.
Rest of Europe	Add your own stamp	Sent to Germany.

In short: Germany, nothing to do. Austria, add a stamp and send to Vienna. Switzerland, add a stamp, use the special bag, send to Germany. Rest of Europe, add a stamp and send to Germany.

Family and partner diagnostics

Testing together shows connections that a single analysis does not reveal. We need three things for it.

Clear details per person For everyone tested we need a name and date of birth so the laboratory can match everything correctly.

A separate email address Each person needs their own email for secure digital access. Where that is not possible, we send the results as a PDF to one shared address.

Clear labelling Samples and forms must each be matched to the right person.

From three tests of the same analysis for the family you get 10 % off. Write to us and you will receive your own discount code.

Reimbursement by private health insurance

If your private health insurance might reimburse you, this is how it works with us:

01 A short online consultation with one of our therapists We go through your symptoms and put together a short, suitable case history.

02 A referral for the appropriate lab tests After the consultation you receive a referral you can submit to your private insurer.

Many private insurers cover the cost in full or in part – some not at all. That depends entirely on your policy. We support you through the process as best we can.
