  • Description

Optimal Adrenal Health - Complete - Easy & Convenient At Home Test Kit (Saliva)

This complete, at home saliva test kit, assesses adrenal health by measuring DHEA-S and diurnal cortisol levels.  Both hormones work together to protect the brain and body from a perceived threat.  As the body is exposed to a combination of physical, mental and environmental stressors, changes in adrenal hormone levels can occur.  When adrenal hormones are out of balance, a whole range of symptoms and conditions from anxiety to infertility can occur.

Key biomarkers, DHEA-S (DS), Cortisol Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night (Cx4) are used to assess adrenal health and wellness.

Biomarkers Measured

Biomarkers Measured

DHEA-S (DS)

The hormone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is produced by adrenal glands and in small amounts by the ovaries and testes.  DHEA is converted to dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) by the adrenal glands and liver.  In both men and women DHEA is necessary for estrogen and testosterone, as well as the production of insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) needed for the growth of muscle and insulin sensitivity.

Cortisol (Morning)

Cortisol (Morning) tests levels of the “stress” hormone that helps the brain and body respond to the environment, facilitates metabolism, regulates blood pressure and supports the body’s fight against infection.  Cortisol levels are highest upon wakening.

Cortisol (Afternoon)

Cortisol (Afternoon) measures hormone levels as cortisol naturally begins to dip later in the day.  Lower levels at this time may be the reason for the afternoon “crash” many experience.

Cortisol (Evening)

Cortisol (Evening) reflects cortisol levels as the body starts to wind down for the day following normal diurnal rhythms.  Elevated levels at this time can cause intense sugar cravings, fatigue and irritability.

Cortisol (Night)

Cortisol (Night) tests hormone levels just before bedtime as the body prepares for sleep.  High levels of cortisol in the bloodstream can contribute to insomnia or difficulty staying asleep which suppresses the immune system.
