Saliva Cortisol Awakening Response

Best for detailed morning cortisol physiology.....The Saliva Cortisol Awakening Response panel uses a six-point saliva collection to analyze cortisol patterns and assess adrenal hormone/HPA axis dysfunction.......The MAJOR ADVANTAGE is the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR)......A standard four-point profile may tell you that morning cortisol is low, normal, or high, but it cannot show whether cortisol rose appropriately during the first 30–60 minutes after waking. That is a different physiological question. CHOOSE THIS TEST IF: morning fatigue, difficulty waking, disrupted circadian rhythm, sleep disturbance, or an abnormal morning stress response is one of the main concerns.
