DHEA Test
GetTested’s DHEA Tests analyses the levels of DHEA in saliva. Too low levels of DHEA can cause symptoms such as fatigue, depression, low libido and obesity, while too high levels can lead to symptoms such as PCOS, acne and hair loss. If adrenal fatigue or hormonal imbalances are suspected, it is recommended to measure the levels of DHEA because low levels of DHEA are common in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
Customers frequently opt to combine the DHEA test with the Cortisol test for a balanced assessment of stress and hormone levels.

What is DHEA?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), also known as androstenolone, is a pro-hormone that the adrenal glands produce. It converts into the hormones estrogen and testosterone. Tired adrenal glands or low hormone levels often lead to DHEA deficiency. Typically, our bodies reach peak DHEA production around age 20, and then this production gradually declines. Consequently, many consider DHEA a rejuvenating hormone, helping us maintain youth.
DHEA, as a pro-hormone, significantly affects the balance of estrogen and testosterone. Thus, if you suspect hormonal imbalances or adrenal fatigue, measuring DHEA becomes essential.
For those seeking a thorough evaluation of hormones and adrenal glands, we provide specific tests. Our Men's Hormone Test and Women's Hormone Test go beyond DHEA to also assess cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Common Symptoms of Low DHEA:
- Fatigue or low energy
- Depression
- Panic attacks
- Low libido
- Decreased potency
- Overweight
- Osteoporosis
- Dry skin
Common Symptoms of High DHEA:
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Hair loss
- Acne
- Sleep disorders
- Irritability or anger
DHEA Levels: Too Low or Too High
Adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, Addison's disease, or pituitary insufficiency often result in low DHEA levels. In contrast, high DHEA levels might indicate PCOS, breast cancer, adrenal tumors, or Cushing's syndrome.
How Does the DHEA Test Work?
You can easily do this saliva test at home. It requires two samples on the same day: one immediately upon waking and another 30 minutes later. After collecting the samples, you send them to our lab for analysis. We ensure you receive your results quickly and digitally.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
