Cortisol operates on a 24 hour cycle so we collect samples at intervals. We can collect the samples ourselves at home or work, and that’s one of the benefits of using saliva for the purpose.

Why use the Adrenal Function Extended Profile Test Kit?
Sometimes referred to as the ‘mini-stress-test’. The constant demand for cortisol due to stress will eventually exhaust the adrenal glands and disrupt the production of other hormones. The Adrenal Function Extended Profile Test Kit is a good idea if you suspect irregularity.
Why is DHEA’s being tested?
The adrenal androgen DHEA is the precursor to sex hormone synthesis, and low levels could result in reduced conversion into the sex hormones. For this reason, it is worth assessing DHEAs when testing other sex hormones.

Adrenal Function Extended Profile – Overview
The adrenal cortex, responsible for producing cortisol, is vital for metabolism and plays a crucial role when responding to stressful environments, disappointment and hostility. Low DHEAs often indicates cortisol irregularity and is a vital clue when assessing adrenal function. The results from the Adrenal Function Extended Profile Test will reveal just how much stress your body is under.
Generally speaking testing time is up to 10 working days. For more detailed information regarding testing time see here. With this test, Four 5mil saliva samples are required as both DHEA and cortisol are tested from the first sample. Your collection vial/tube has indicators clearly marked to prevent any confusion. Using hormonal birth control will not interfere with this test as we are not testing the sex hormones.
Safety: Saliva hormone testing may be useful when investigating illness but only as one investigative tool in a larger “toolbox”. If you are experiencing pain, discomfort or suspect you may have medical issues, see your GP or attend the nearest hospital for checkup.

Skippy (Independantly Verified) –
Ordered – Adrenal Function Extended Profile Hormone Test Kit. Would use service again, 10/10 customer service. Michelle was great support and help during the time waiting for the results and kept in touch afterwards. The kit gave me something to show my doctor when I couldn’t explain my symptoms clearly enough for the doctor to understand what I was going through. Thanks for offering this service and access to order online.

Thanks to TestoChecker for brilliant customer service. From day one I received warmly friendly and efficient service. I had a few issues with my order (which were basically my fault) however in trying to sort these issues out I found the support area to be very helpful, understanding and dedicated to ensuring I got a good result (thanks Michelle you legend). Based on my experience of the company’s commitment to customer service I would absolutely recommend them.
