StressCheck - DHEA and Cortisol is a safe, easy-to-use, and reliable screen that
uses a small saliva sample to measure your levels of DHEA and Cortisol--hormones
vital to your body's response to stress. This noninvasive and inexpensive
screen provides the accuracy of a laboratory analysis without you
having to leave the comfort of your own home.
Balancing stress hormones
supports your health.
Stress
is good for you! It's
true. Stress is often thought of in a negative light--and with good
reason. However, stress, both physical and emotional, also helps
your body stay active and alert, more prepared for obstacles it
may face. Two hormones, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone.) and Cortisol,
are your body's main forces for coping with stress. The balance
of these hormones can affect how you handle the overwhelming feeling
that stress can bring.
That's
where StressCheck
comes in.
StressCheck
by
BodyBalance measures your DHEA and
Cortisol levels to determine
their balance. Classified as adrenal or "stress" hormones--DHEA
and Cortisol serve as markers of stress response, regulating how
your body reacts during stress. Each hormone is released into your
bloodstream from your adrenal glands when your body feels stress
and helps your body make the necessary adjustments to protect itself.
These
two hormones help balance each other to ensure a stress response.
DHEA is anabolic, a constructive hormone that affects the immune
system, blood pressure, and sleep, among its many functions. Cortisol
is a catabolic hormone, a hormone that also affects the immune system,
blood pressure, and sleep. When your body feels stress, Cortisol is essential. Cortisol maintains and raises your energy levels to
assist your body during that stressful period. Together, these two
hormones work to provide your body with an optimal stress response.
