What is the purpose of this test?
The ZRT Lab's Diurnal Cortisol (Cx4) - ZRT Test Kit measures cortisol levels at four different times throughout the day using saliva samples. Cortisol is a hormone that helps regulate stress, energy levels, and overall well-being. This test checks how your cortisol levels change from morning to evening, providing insights into your body's stress response and daily rhythm.
This test is important because cortisol levels that are too high or too low can indicate stress-related problems or adrenal gland issues. By monitoring cortisol at multiple times during the day, doctors can better understand your body's stress patterns and recommend appropriate treatments or lifestyle changes to help manage stress levels and improve your overall health.
The Diurnal Cortisol (Cx4) - ZRT Test Kit includes the following:
- Cortisol (morning)
- Cortisol (noon)
