Cortisol Blood Test

Measures

Cortisol in serum at a single point.

Why it matters

The general version, without a specified collection time. Because cortisol moves substantially across the day, the collection time is essential context for reading the result — note it when you attend.

If your practitioner wants a specific time point, the 8am or 4pm versions are the ones to order.

Before you collect

Note the exact collection time. Morning is standard unless advised otherwise.

Suits

People whose practitioner has asked for a serum cortisol without specifying timing.

Your next step

Once you have your results, book with a Canwell naturopath, nutritionist or practitioner to talk them through and build a wellness plan that suits you. Book with Canwell
