Adrenal Testing – Adrenal Stress Profile (ASP)
To identify the exact state of an individual’s adrenal hormones, where the case history is not evidence enough, and thereby obtain vital information on how to resolve the imbalance, consider use of the Adrenal Stress Profile (ASP). The ASP is a simple non-invasive saliva test. Four saliva samples are used to construct an adrenal rhythm and obtain a DHEA to Cortisol correlation. Such an evaluation is not possible with blood and urine samples.
The Advantages of the ASP
1. The test is non-invasive and can be performed wherever you are.
2. Saliva is collected under real life conditions. There are no stressful blood draws and no urine bottles to carry around for 24 hours.
3. With blood and urine testing, a number of borderline adrenal conditions are missed. This is not the case with the ASP because it is a time-specific and real-life test.
4. The ASP is an in-depth test such that options for treatment are expanded by 400-500% over serum and urine test results.
