What is the Cortisol Panel?
Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced in your adrenal glands. It can affect your body in a number of ways, including how your body responds to stress. When balanced, your cortisol levels will fluctuate throughout the day, starting higher in the morning, and getting lower in the evening. If your cortisol levels are too low in the morning or too high in the evening, it can have a negative impact on everything from your energy levels to your immune health. Looking at your cortisol levels at just one point during the day will not provide the full picture, which is why this test collects multiple samples throughout the day for a comprehensive view.

What is the Testing Process?
Once you receive your at-home lab test, please follow the instructions provided to register your lab. This at-home lab test requires a saliva sample. Your test will include detailed instructions on how to obtain your sample(s).
Once sample(s) are received by the lab, it will take approximately 3 weeks for the results to be available for review in order to create your customized report.
Please note that on rare occasions, high volumes at the lab may result in processing delays. Note that if this occurs, we do not have the ability to speed up lab processing.
