    Understand your stress levels with the adrenal function profile home test kit

    The Adrenal Function Profile Home Test Kit measures your body's stress levels by assessing how well your adrenal glands are functioning. Cortisol, a hormone produced by your adrenal glands, follows a daily rhythm known as the circadian cycle. By analyzing saliva, this test provides a clear picture of your body's stress patterns and how they might be affecting you.

    Disruptions in your cortisol levels can occur due to various factors, especially if you’re a shift worker, making it difficult to maintain a stable rhythm.

    What's included in the test?

    This comprehensive saliva test checks for both DHEA (a hormone related to stress response) and cortisol at different times throughout the day: first thing in the morning, midday, late afternoon, and at night.

    Along with cortisol levels, the test also measures DHEA, allowing you to evaluate your hormone secretion. You'll receive a detailed report that indicates the balance between anabolism (constructive) and catabolism (destructive activity) in your body, through the DHEA to cortisol ratio.
