Hi all can anyone advise where I can get a cortisol test to test my adrenals please? Medichecks is my usual go-to for self testing, would this one be ok? Thankyou

The best adrenal test is one that tests cortisol plus DHEA as this will help identify the stage of adrenal fatigue if present. Medichecks test cortisol only so would not be the best test.

Suggested here, and the one I have used, is by Regenerus:

Click on the adrenal saliva test link in the Regenerus section here:

Thankyou 👍 quick question (sorry!) I've been advised to try pregnanelone (not sure how to spell this) for adrenal fatigue,do you have any experience of this?

No, sorry, no experience of pregnenolone, it's something I would want guidance from a practitioner on rather than self supplement and it's not something that was suggested for me when I was seeing a practitioner.

Thanks seasideSusie. I think I'm panicking as I feel very poorly, looking for the One thing that will be my miracle cure. I'll buy the cortisol test and work on my vitamins for now. Have a lovely weekend x
