Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast?
No fasting is required, but a morning draw is best because these hormones are highest early in the day.
Should I test other hormones too?
Usually yes — pregnenolone is most useful alongside DHEA-S, cortisol, and sex hormones so your provider can see the full pathway.
Is this billed to insurance?
No — you pay directly here, and nothing appears on your insurance record. Results go only to your secure account.
