Re: Adrenal fatigue urine test

I've done that test too...titration for sodium chloride? You keep adding drops until it turns brown.

I'm not sure why yours went grey...that is odd. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything about it turning grey. Maybe it's due to your urine PH - have you tested that?
Did you keep adding drops to see if it changed from grey to dark brown?

How many drops did you end up adding for it to change to grey?

As a side note, that test isn't a definitive result for adrenal status - just an indicator of *possible* adrenal health. I've done the test many times myself at home throughout the year to monitor change, and i'm constantly adding just 3 drops to turn to brown, indicating extreme HYPER adrenal function/ very low sodium in urine being passed = sodium retention.

All other blood and saliva tests show hypoadrenalism with cortisol very low, DHEA low, and i have very low blood pressure too, despite the 'sodium retention' indicated on the urine test...(and consuming loads of salt in my diet)

I initially followed a protocol based on the urine result of highly stressed hyper-adrenals and took supplements to lower cortisol, only making me worse, because i didn't realise at the time i had low cortisol and was pushing it further down, which resulted in an adrenal crisis episode, which at the time i didn't know what it was and blamed it on iodine! Folks in the Iodine forum had not heard of that type of reaction...so it was all very confusing at the time i felt soooo debilitated back then - just awful...for ages i thought i had high cortisol.

This was because i went by the urine sodium chloride results for 'adrenal fatigue' - so be careful of just using that result alone for devising a healing protocol.
