Guest guest Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Hi All, Thank you for responding so quickly to my original post " New and Need Your Guidance " . I'm trying to figure out where/what to order the lab tests I need. I've seen the list of Lab's that you all have compiled and i have a couple ?'s. 1. Have you found one lab that I can order both the iron testing and the salivary cortisol tests from? I'm not finding that to be the case. 2. Can I order just an am/pm cortisol test or should I get the 4x/day test? 3. which lab carries the correct Iron test? I see ones that measure ferritin only or Iron & Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) only. 4. Should I use the Vinco's brand Metabolic Ingition w/ ABGland Thyroid & ABGland Pitutary Supp that my doc gave me on Thur.....or just not bother? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 1. As far as I know, iron and saliva cortisol are not done by the same lab. I get my iron from econolabs.com and my saliva cortisol from canaryclub.org 2. The 4x cortisol is superior to the am/pm, gives a more complete picture of adrenal status. 3. The iron tests I get from econolabs.com are: Ferritin, serum, Test ID #: 004598 UIBC, Test ID #: 001348. Test includes: Percent of saturation Serum iron Total iron binding capacity Unsaturated iron binding capacity 4. Sorry can't answer this one, I'm unfamilar with this product. I hope someone else can answer. It's worth comparison shopping between econolabs.com, prepaidlab.com, directlabs.com and lef.org for the best prices. > > Hi All, > > Thank you for responding so quickly to my original post " New and Need Your Guidance " . > > I'm trying to figure out where/what to order the lab tests I need. > > I've seen the list of Lab's that you all have compiled and i have a couple ?'s. > > 1.
