About the Test

This stress hormone test measures cortisol levels in your blood in the morning. As the human body’s main stress hormone, cortisol controls things like fear, mood, and motivation. Cortisol also aids in regulating inflammation, blood pressure, blood sugar, sleep cycles, and metabolism – especially in stressful situations. This cortisol test can help determine if there are issues with your body’s “alarm system.”

Buy your own cortisol level test online with Quest. No doctor’s visit is required – simply purchase cortisol testing, visit a nearby Quest® location for sample collection, and get fast results.
