my adrenal saliva test results

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I've just had my adrenal results back. Bearing in mind that last time I did the

test (over a year ago) my results were worse than these and that I've

experienced some very stressful situations since, without supporting my

adrenals, these results have surprised me!

Sample 1 - 15.6 (12-22)

Sample 2 - 4.7 L (5-9)

Sample 3 - 4.1 (3-7)

Sample 4 - 0.9 L (1-3)

DHEA 0.34 L (0.4-1.47)

0.32 L (2-6)

I'm currently taking 2 NAX as well as vit c, co q10 and variuos vitamins and

minerals to address known deficiencies. Are NAXs likely to be enough on these

results? I assume I should increase them in due course as my symptoms haven't

improved. Do I need DHEA or will that sort itself out? My DHEA was low last

time, but all my cortisol samples were just out of range then.

Doing the self tests for aldesterone suggests to me I'm low in that but I

haven't been able to get anywhere getting that tested via the nhs. Do I need to

get it tested? I'm taking sea salt.

I take zinc before bedtime (the max dose) as I am zinc deficient (shown by blood

tests as well as symptoms). Could that be lowering my cortisol?

Thanks for any suggestions
