Description
- Find out if cortisol may be responsible if your stress levels are too high
- Discover why you often feel under the weather
- Learn why you find it hard to “switch off” at the end of the day
A laboratory saliva test with simple at-home collection which measures the levels of the stress hormone cortisol at certain times throughout the day.
Cortisol is a hormone produced in the adrenal glands which affects metabolism and immune system and regulates blood pressure. It is naturally high in the morning and declines over the day. Cortisol also rises when the body is under stress and this can disrupt our normal rhythm, making it hard to get to sleep at night.

Quick service and clear results
“Quick service and results interpretation was easy to understand and personalised. The instructions could be clearer, especially when it comes to sending the sample back. But otherwise happy overall”

Not convinced test is accurate
“I'm not convinced this test is accurate. I've been extremely stressed and anxious, and struggling with insomnia for months. My test results showed my cortisol levels were normal. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not, but I think it's highly unlikely. I've given 3 stars for good instructions, kit contents, speed of returning my results and benefit of the doubt.”
