Ovu-Trac® Ovulation Predictor Kit - Ovulation, Science & Saliva

The Origin of the Saliva Fertility Test

Scientists began studying the correlation between ovulation and saliva in the 1940's, but it was Dr. Biel Cassals in 1969 who focused his research specifically on this interesting phenomenon. Every cycle during a woman's fertile years, she experiences the natural ebb and flow of her reproductive system. Soon after the first day of menstruation several eggs begin competing with one another in her ovaries to see which will be released at ovulation. As these eggs grow they release oestrogen, as they increase in size the amount of oestrogen released also increases until it triggers a chemical reaction in her body which begins to prepare for ovulation and possible conception. Many changes begin to occur in a woman's body, but one of the easiest to detect is an increase in the bio-salts secreted in saliva, tears, cervical fluid and nasal fluid when dried and viewed through a microscope. As ovulation nears these bio-salts increase until they appear completely crystallized into beautiful frost-like ferns. Dr. Cassals had 90 doctors clinically test 1000 women for 10 months to scientifically measure the correlation between ovulation and saliva for identifying a woman's most fertile days - he found this method to be 96.2%* effective.

Ovulation and Fertility Tracking Today

The Ovu-Trac® Ovulation Predictor Kit was developed after years of research and testing. While there are many saliva fertility testers on the market, few meet the quality and efficacy standards of the Ovu-Trac®. The durable, compact 100X magnification microscope included in the kit has quality optics and a strong internal light source that offers women clear and accurate results. When these components are combined with the excellent literature and support services offered with the Ovu-Trac®, it is clearly the best in-home ovulation predictor kit on the market. 

How does Salivary Crystallization Identify Ovulation and Fertility?

Salivary crystallization correlates with changes in a woman’s body. While patterns develop in a similar nature between women - they can be very individual in appearance. The photos below are actual samples of fertile quality saliva from different women viewed through the Ovu-Trac® microscope - they are all solidly crystallized indicating ovulation is near - but are truly unique in appearance. To the right of these fertile samples is an example of non-fertile saliva – the difference between fertile and non-fertile is clearly evident.

Women are like snowflakes - similar in physical make-up, but individual in nature. The Ovu-Trac® helps women determine their similarities and differences to achieve a common goal of pregnancy.
