Chronic fatigue also known as Adrenal Fatigue can be life altering. Testing the Adrenal glands and the hormones the Adrenal glands manufacture can help you understand some of the root causes behind your fatigue, stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, hormone problems and other chronic health symptoms.

The Most Comprehensive Way Of Measuring Adrenal Function Is Not a Blood test.
Due to the complexity of adrenal fatigue, traditional blood tests are not the most accurate way to evaluate adrenal gland performance. There are several reasons for this.
#1- Steroid hormones (Cortisol, DHEA) in the bloodstream are 95-99% bound to carrier proteins, and in this form are unavailable to target tissues. Saliva testing measures the amount of hormone available to target tissues – the bioavailable amount. For this reason, saliva testing better relates to specific symptoms of excess or deficiency and is a good option for monitoring hormone therapy.
#2 The other reason saliva outperforms blood testing is that the cortisol rhythm is unable to be measured in a blood test. See illustration below
