Cortisol & DHEA Test (Large)
The GetTested Cortisol and DHEA Test Large measures cortisol at six time points from morning to evening, including the cortisol awakening response, together with DHEA-S, using simple at-home saliva samples. The cortisol awakening response shows how cortisol rises during the first hour after waking, which can provide insight into morning activation, stress regulation and how the body starts the day. This extended profile provides a more detailed view of how cortisol changes throughout the day and in response to waking. It may be relevant when exploring stress, energy levels, difficulty waking, evening restlessness or symptoms such as fatigue. Results are delivered digitally within 3–5 days.

About Cortisol & DHEA Test (Large)
Overview of the Cortisol & DHEA Test (Large)
Cortisol is a hormone involved in the body’s stress response, energy, alertness and sleep-wake rhythm. Levels are usually highest in the morning and gradually decline throughout the day.
The cortisol awakening response, or CAR, is the natural rise in cortisol that happens shortly after waking. By measuring cortisol upon waking, 30 minutes after waking and 60 minutes after waking, the test shows how strongly the body activates in the first hour of the day. This can provide more detail than a single morning cortisol sample alone.
DHEA-S is a more stable hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It provides additional context to cortisol levels, especially when exploring ongoing stress, reduced resilience, fatigue or changes in energy over time.
