Adrenal Test
This at-home adrenal test, which consists of two separate tests for cortisol and DHEA via saliva, analyzes adrenal insufficiency or hormone imbalance. Such imbalances can lead to typical symptoms of adrenal fatigue, including fatigue or exhaustion, sleep disturbances, salt cravings, and low blood pressure.
Additionally, it is popular to combine this test with either our Estrogen/Progesterone Test or Testosterone Test for a more comprehensive hormonal assessment.

Description
Adrenal Fatigue
Adrenal fatigue, known as tired adrenal glands, happens when the adrenal glands cut down hormone production after long-term severe stress or trauma. This mainly affects cortisol and DHEA levels. Initially, the adrenal glands boost cortisol and DHEA production in response to stress. Research shows that prolonged stress leads to a decrease in DHEA. Thus, measuring both cortisol and DHEA is vital to evaluate adrenal function and provide the right support.
DHEA
Low DHEA levels can cause symptoms like fatigue, depression, low libido, and obesity. High levels, on the other hand, might lead to PCOS, acne, and hair loss. People with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) commonly have low DHEA levels.
Cortisol
Since cortisol levels fluctuate during the day, it's important to measure them multiple times to get a full picture of adrenal cortisol production. Ideally, cortisol levels should be highest in the morning and decrease as the day progresses. Today, many people show abnormal cortisol patterns, including levels that are too low, high, flat, or even inverted. This test specifically measures bioavailable free cortisol seven times in a single day, as only free cortisol is biologically active.
How Does the Adrenal Test Work?
You receive two saliva test kits to use at home. The cortisol samples are taken seven times in one day, and the DHEA samples twice in the morning. Once you collect the samples, send them to our lab. Your digital test results will be available as soon as our lab finishes analyzing your samples.
