Our top pick for Fatigue
Lab Test
Saliva Tests
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.
Lab Test
Blood Tests
Persistent fatigue and thyroid issues are often linked to B12 levels. While a standard B12 test might show normal total levels, it is the active form of B12, which makes up only 10-30% of the total, that plays a vital role in your health. GetTested’s Vitamin B12 Test specifically measures this active form. For a more comprehensive health assessment, our Vitamin Test includes standard B12, folate, vitamins D and E, and CoQ10, providing a detailed nutrient profile for those looking to address fatigue.
Lab Test
Blood Tests
The GetTested Vitamin D Test measures your vitamin D levels to help assess your nutritional status.

This lab test provides your exact vitamin D level.
For a more detailed assessment of your mineral balance, consider pairing this test with our Nutrition Test, which measures essential minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, along with iron, copper, zinc, and selenium.
