I need an Adrenal Saliva Test

Jefner profile image
10 Replies

Have been having a brief chat with Paul Robinson (the chap who got himself well on T3 only). I need to get a 4 point saliva test done again to see what's going on because I know levels are just not right and haven't tested in a long while. Paul also said I need an rt3 test as well which will give him a thorough picture.

I used Genova some time back but someone in a thread mentioned Regenerus but I can't find the test. Need one that has a reasonably quick turnaround and is there a code I may use please?

For the cortisol and DHEA, I don't think they do discounts, results usually a week after sending off sample though it states 10 days, you do this at home.

I don't know who does RT3 as most say it clears itself and isn't worth testing 🤷‍♀️

Edit.... It turns out Blue Horizon do RT3.... TUK10 should save you 10% 15 days turnaround bluehorizonbloodtests.co.uk...

Needs a professional blood draw from a clinic/ Superdrug around the country or home visit

Paul has kindly said he would look at my results for me free of charge bless him. He wants me to do this particular test but the turnaround time is so damn long :(

I don't think any labs do it here so they all get sent to America, it is usually quicker than they quote... strange that one has a 30 day turnaround where as the RT3 only is 15 days?

Makes more sense to do them all on the same day though 🤷‍♀️

I wonder what they cost in America?... weekend break time😋

"I don't know who does RT3 as most say it clears itself and isn't worth testing "....actually not the case unfortunately

Hmm, differing views about it... I've not gone down that rabbit hole. Be sure to report back with your findings 🤗

thank you, I understand a lot about the adrenals having researched and had previous tests on my cortisol levels. That was around 6yrs ago though and have forgotten a lot but need another test

Did you get your cortisol test done and some feedback from Paul? How are you getting on? 🤗

haven't done it yet because I need to wait another 2-3 weeks since I upped my Levo back to 125 again. Paul wanted me to had a full thyroid panel and cortisol test done at the same time

Not what you're looking for?
