DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an adrenal hormone and plays a role in the production of the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone, as well as the mood-regulating hormone serotonin. Therefore, it can influence energy levels, mood, and muscle mass. Elevated or decreased DHEA levels can indicate stress, low cholesterol, and other health issues. DHEA levels vary greatly between different age groups . It declines significantly with increasing age. What is cortisol and what does its value indicate? Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands and is often referred to as the stress hormone . It regulates stress responses, energy levels, the immune system, and metabolism. Cortisol levels follow a daily rhythm: high in the morning and low in the evening. An excessively high value can indicate chronic stress and, in the long term, lead to exhaustion or health problems. A value that is too low often indicates overload or exhaustion and can lead to the body being less able to cope with stress. For whom is the cortisol & DHEA saliva test useful? The test is suitable for people who often feel tired, exhausted or burned out , suffer from sleep disorders, inner restlessness or mood swings , to feel constantly under stress , who want to better understand their adrenal gland function and stress hormones . Why are cortisol and DHEA measured together? Both hormones are primarily produced in the adrenal cortex and interact with each other. A persistently elevated cortisol level can lead to a long-term decrease in DHEA. Only the combination of these values reveals whether your overall stress response system is in balance. Why a saliva test instead of a blood test? Saliva tests are non-invasive, painless , and ideally suited for multiple measurements throughout the day. The tests primarily measure the free, biologically active fraction of cortisol in saliva, which is closely linked to the actual hormone levels in the body. This gives you a more realistic picture of your daily routine than a single blood test can provide. How do I prepare for the test day? Choose a day that is as typical as possible for sampling , not an extremely stressful exceptional day, but also not a vacation day. Follow the instructions regarding times and rules of conduct (e.g., do not eat, drink or smoke shortly before sampling). Can the test diagnose illnesses such as burnout or adrenal insufficiency? No. The test can provide indications of a hormonal imbalance and show whether your stress response system is under strain. A diagnosis of conditions such as burnout or adrenal insufficiency must only be made by a physician. If test results are abnormal or symptoms persist, we recommend consulting a doctor. How reliable are the results? The analysis is performed in a medical laboratory using established measurement methods. Nevertheless, individual measurements can always be influenced by daily condition, stress, medication, and sample quality. Therefore, the results should always be considered within the overall context. How often should I repeat the test? That depends on your situation. Many people use the test once for initial assessment or repeatedly after a few months to see how lifestyle changes or therapeutic measures affect stress hormones.
