Which is the most reliable company for the adrenal saliva test.

I understand that Genova is not recommended any more and I heard somewhere that Medichecks are not that accurate. I have just used Regenerus for a test and the results were not what I was expecting. Feedback wd be useful.

Many thanks.

For adrenal tests, you need cortisol and DHEA for it to be interpreted properly. Cortisol on it's own isn't the full picture.

As far as I know, Genova and Regenerus are the only ones that test both.

What Regenerus test did you do and why were the results not what you were expecting?

Why is Genova no longer recommended?

I always suggest both of these companies for adrenal stress test so it would be good to know if there are any problems.

Hi I believe Genova altered the way they produced results - cannot recall exactly but I believe one of the admin's might be able to help. I always used Genova in the past

and my morning cortisol was always low. Now it is showing as optimum on the Regenerus test and this is the first time I have used this company so a bit worried. Wondered if other users cd give me some feedback.
