Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

Overview

The Adrenocortex Stress Profile Extensive combines stress hormone assessment with immune function testing in a single saliva collection. Available across Australia as an at-home kit, it measures cortisol at four daily intervals, morning DHEA-S, and Secretory IgA—your mucosal immune system's frontline defence.

Chronic stress does more than cause fatigue. It suppresses Secretory IgA production, weakening the immune barrier protecting your gut, respiratory tract, and other vulnerable surfaces. People under prolonged stress often find themselves catching every infection, developing food sensitivities, or experiencing digestive issues that worsen during stressful periods.

This test suits Australians dealing with both stress symptoms and immune concerns. By revealing whether stress has compromised your mucosal immunity alongside your adrenal rhythm, it provides a more complete picture than testing either system alone.

Symptoms

Essential for people experiencing frequent infections, weakened immunity, digestive issues, food sensitivities, or anyone whose immune resilience seems compromised by ongoing stress.

Questions

  • This test adds Secretory IgA (sIgA) measurement, assessing mucosal immune function alongside stress hormones. The basic version measures only cortisol and DHEA-S.
  • Secretory IgA is your body's first-line immune defence at mucosal surfaces—gut, respiratory tract, and other areas exposed to pathogens. Low levels increase susceptibility to infections.
  • Chronic stress suppresses Secretory IgA production. This test reveals whether prolonged stress has compromised your mucosal immunity, making you more vulnerable to infections.
  • People with frequent infections, food sensitivities, digestive issues, or autoimmune concerns benefit from seeing stress-immune interactions together.
  • Cortisol follows a morning-high, evening-low curve. DHEA-S remains adequate. Secretory IgA falls within the reference range, indicating intact mucosal immunity.
  • Collect saliva at four times (6-8am, noon, 4pm, 8pm) using provided tubes. Avoid eating, drinking except water, brushing teeth, or smoking for 30 minutes before each collection.
  • Results typically arrive within 3-5 business days after the laboratory receives your samples.
  • By revealing stress-immune imbalances and sIgA status, results help guide treatment strategies supporting immune balance rather than guessing at interventions.

How to prepare

Collect saliva samples at four specific times: 6-8am, 12pm, 4pm, and 8pm using provided collection tubes. Avoid eating, drinking (except water), brushing teeth, or smoking for 30 minutes before collection. Follow kit instructions carefully for accurate results.

After the test

Address stress-immune imbalances through comprehensive stress management, immune-supporting supplementation, dietary modifications, gut health optimization, and lifestyle changes. Work with healthcare providers experienced in functional medicine or integrative immunology.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show cortisol patterns, DHEA-S levels, and Secretory IgA status compared to optimal ranges. Identifies stress hormone imbalances and immune dysfunction patterns, providing insights into stress-immune system interactions.
