Hi :)

I'm looking to get a Saliva cortisol test done from a lab based in the UK preferably. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks

A lot of us here use Medichecks: medichecks.com/products/str...

Quick with results, I recommend them!

Regenerus recommended as essentially it also tests DHEA

regeneruslabs.com/products/...

Medichecks is NOT recommended for cortisol test as doesn’t include Dhea and ranges on results are odd

I had a look at Regenerus, but since samples are sent to the U.S.A, is it possible they might degrade a little in the post since the estimated turn around time is 18 days; and could maybe create results that aren't as accurate?

it’s the one everyone uses

Posts that mention Regenerus

(Some may refer to Regenerus other popular test for Dio2 gene)

NHS endocrinologists don’t accept results, but still useful for you to see results
