Adrenal Stress Check by i-Screen

Comprehensive saliva test assessing adrenal response to stress and hormone balance.

Additional Information

Adrenal fatigue is often underdiagnosed. This test measures cortisol and DHEA-S hormones to assess stress management. Hormone imbalance, caused by prolonged stress, can impact health. Cortisol fluctuates daily; four samples show cortisol rhythm. Results help balance hormones for better health.

Biomarkers Tested (7)

Cortisol Daily Total (ng/mL)

A steroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland in response to stress. The hormone is secreted in a daily pattern rising in the early morning, peaking around 7am, and declining in the evening.

Cortisol Morning (ng/mL)

Cortisol levels are generally high in the morning as we wake from a prolonged period of sleep, with an increase of up to 50% in the first half an hour after waking. This is known as the ‘cortisol awakening response’.

Cortisol Midday (ng/mL)

As the day progresses cortisol levels naturally begin to drop in a fairly constant and regular fashion that is termed a diurnal rhythm, ending up as low in the late evening.

Cortisol Afternoon (ng/mL)

As the day progresses cortisol levels naturally begin to drop in a fairly constant and regular fashion that is termed a diurnal rhythm, ending up as low in the late evening.

Cortisol Evening (ng/mL)

Cortisol levels drop very low in the evening and during the early phase of sleep which allows the body to keep a regular sleeping pattern.

DHEAS (µg/dL)

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that serves as a precursor to sex hormones. Abnormal levels can indicate adrenal or endocrine disorders.

DHEA-S/Cortisol Ratio (Ratio)

Low DHEA relative to cortisol has been linked to increased inflammation, suppressed immune function, hyperglycaemia, as well as impaired detoxification, skeletal health and cognitive function.
