With Access Medical Labs Adrenal Plus Profile you will be able to evaluate your Cortisol , DHEAS, 17-OH Progesterone, Melatonin, and Androstenedione levels which help in determining if you have or are at risk of adrenal fatigue. The Cortisol/DHEAS Saliva Test measures the levels of the stress hormones DHEAS and cortisol and provides an evaluation of how cortisol levels differ throughout the day. Our saliva hormone tests can uncover biochemical imbalances that can be underlying causes of such conditions as chronic stress, adrenal fatigue, anxiety, chronic fatigue, obesity, diabetes, depression, insomnia, and many other chronic conditions. The adrenal fatigue syndrome is a condition where your adrenal glands are fatigued. Once the adrenal glands are fatigued, your body will get lesser help from the glands. The glands will work much less effectively. One thing that glands will not do anymore is the production of cortisol. These hormones called cortisol are hormones that help your body cope with stress. These hormones are responsible for the body's reaction to stress. It is what gives the body the options to "fight" or to take "flight", away from stress. Too much of fighting stress will result to stressed adrenal glands. Once the glands are damaged, they will stop production of cortisol and this is bad. The body will have reduced protection from infections and you will catch flu's and other respiratory diseases faster. Other consequences and side effects will also occur. Saliva test you collect at home and send to the lab. No doctor's order needed, you receive the results.

The Adrenal Stress Evaluation assesses Adrenal hormone imbalances. Saliva test measures DHEA and Coritsol 4 times during day. Adrenal Stress Evaluation tests cortisol levels at four different times during the day. It also includes a urine collection for the adrenal related neurotransmitters Epinephrine and Norepinephrine. No doctors order needed, you receive a copy of the results.

Adrenal Stress Index tests cortisol levels at four different times during the day. The Adrenal Stress Index is indicated for Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Obesity, Depression, Insomnia, PTSD, Chronic Fatigue, Muscle and joint pain, Memory impairment, Osteoporosis, and Hypertension. High cortisol levels have been linked to Alzheimer's Disease. Simple saliva collection done at home and mailed to the lab. You receive the results. Doctors order provided.

Metametrix Adrenal Stress Plus (sIgA & Antigliadin Antibody) uses a non-invasive salivary procedure to monitor the activity of the adrenal cortex and its ability to react to stress. The procedure monitors the circadian variation of the cortisol and DHEA-S levels. An increased cortisol level, a decreased DHEA-S level, or a decrease in the DHEA-S/cortisol ratio is an indication of a stressful physical or mental condition. Also measured in the Adrenal Stress Plus Profile are secretory IgA and antigliadin antibodies. Secretory IgA protects the gut from pathogenic material. During a high stress situation, levels of secretory IgA decrease. Thus, chronic cortisol elevation may be associated with high antigliadin antibodies due to intestinal hyperpermeability. Gliadin is a protein component found in wheat. When the adrenal stress profile indicates an inappropriate hormonal stress response, it is necessary to consider stress reduction along with diet, exercise, and nutritional supplementation to support adrenal gland activity. This will enhance the restoration of the physical barrier in the gut. Saliva collection you do at home and mail to the lab. Doctors Order Provided, you receive the results.

NeuroAdrenal Profile is a comprehensive test that can detect neurotransmitter and adrenal imbalances. Urine and Saliva Test yoiu collect at home then send postage paid to the lab. You receive a copy of the test results and treatment recommendations.*INCLUDES A 15 MINUTE PHONE CONSULTATION WITH A LICENSED NURSE PRACTITIONER*
