What does the ASI Panel Assess?
The Adrenal Stress Index (ASI) uses five conveniently collected saliva samples to assess cortisol, insulin, DHEA/DHEA-S, secretory IgA, 17-OH progesterone, and wheat gluten sIgA. Saliva is collected over a period of 24 hours, providing more complete information about your body’s stress response than a single test. This is ideal for people dealing with chronic stress and stress-related symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety and fatigue. ASI is a comprehensive panel that will give your provider better measurements and greater context for your hormone levels than standard serum and urine testing. With more information, your provider will be able to treat your symptoms more efficiently, and help you formulate a long-term health plan.
What tests are included in the ASI Panel?
- Cortisol x 4- Evaluates stress response
- Insulin- Investigates blood sugar control and insulin resistance
- DHEA/DHEA-S - Determines how other hormones may be affected by stress
- Total secretory IgA (sIgA)- Evaluates the toll of stress on immunity
