The best adrenal test is one that measures cortisol plus DHEA and the 24 hour saliva test is said to be the best.

Regenerus or Genova Diagnostics - details on ThyroidUK's main website:

Regenerus: thyroiduk.org/getting-a-dia...

Genova: thyroiduk.org/getting-a-dia...

I use Regenerus because they email you direct when results are ready. With Genova the results are sent to ThyroidUK who send them on to you when they've received your consent form to release results.
