Stress Profile Saliva Test

Only for Germany and Austria

• We would like to point out that these tests and the shipping processes are optimized for Germany and Austria and are prepaid.
• Samples must be delivered to the German laboratory within 4 days. This cannot be guaranteed for samples shipped from other countries!
• Orders from countries other than Germany and Austria are therefore at your own risk. In this case, we only accept the payment method "Prepayment (directly to us)", as customers cannot then cancel the purchase, e.g., because the sample arrived at the laboratory unusable through their own fault. Purchases made with any other payment methods that customers could unlawfully reverse will be immediately canceled and refunded.
• You can find more information about this from the manufacturer!

Laboratory analysis to determine the daily profile of the stress hormone cortisol

Hormones are messenger substances which, working in finely tuned coordination, perform a wide range of functions in the human body. From fertility and mood regulation to energy and water balance – they are involved in almost all bodily processes. Hormonal balance is therefore of great importance for our well-being. 

Cortisol is a hormone produced naturally by the body, which is released in greater quantities from the adrenal cortex in response to stress. It triggers various stress-induced symptoms such as increased respiratory and heart rates, inhibits inflammatory processes and promotes energy production.

Chronic stress can lead to excessively high cortisol levels. Laboratory analysis is one way of assessing stress levels based on the cortisol profile.

The stress profile involves measuring the daily cortisol profile. This is carried out in five measurements.
