Saliva Tests
GetTested’s Cortisol Test measures bioavailable and free cortisol on seven occasions during a day. Cortisol is released in response to physical or mental stress. Produced by the adrenal glands, cortisol boosts physical and mental performance under short-term stress. However, consistently high cortisol levels can harm your health, while too low levels can also be problematic. This test is particularly useful for individuals experiencing chronic stress, fatigue, or other stress-related symptoms.
Additionally, DHEA, another hormone influenced by stress, is commonly measured alongside cortisol for a comprehensive hormonal assessment. Our DHEA Saliva Test can further enhance understanding of your stress response and hormonal balance.
