Saliva Test Results & Stage of

[Guest guest]

I see some postings here that mention a stage of adrenal fatigue, but my results

from

Genova Diagnostics don't have that. This is the first saliva test I've had, so

I have nothing

previous to look at. My doc said that my levels follow a proper pattern, but

that my end of

day cortisol is low. I am not using any cortisol replacement, but am using

supplements for

adrenal support (main product contains panax ginseng, rhodiola and cordyceps).

Also, my

serum DHEA was normal, while my salivary DHEA was low and my ratio was on the

low

side of the reference range.

Can anyone tell me if these results indicate a certain stage? I'm thinking my

results aren't

too bad, but this is all fairly new to me. Thanks!
