The Test Grade. The Reason Behind It.

Potentially useful for the right buyer, with meaningful evidence, coverage, transparency, access, cost, terms, or privacy tradeoffs to review.

A lower grade does not mean a panel is a bad personal fit. Your Fit Score can be higher when its purpose, price, sample, access, or support matches what you need.

What it asks of you

Sample and fulfillment journey

Order

Confirmed

Choose this test, your state and an available laboratory online. Mito provides the laboratory order when required.

Panel-specific source · Source dated September 9, 2026

Collect

Confirmed

Attend the selected partner laboratory for a serum blood draw using two tubes at the agreed collection time. The two tubes do not represent separate morning and evening collections. This is not a mailed home kit. Collection time matters because cortisol changes through the day; baseline draws are commonly around 8 a.m. Follow the timing selected by your clinician. No fasting is required. Report oral, inhaled, topical or injected corticosteroids, estrogen use and pregnancy. Acute illness, physical stress and poor sleep can affect results. Do not change prescribed medication on your own.

The balance

The Strengths. The Tradeoffs.

Strengths

  • Online ordering includes the required laboratory order through Mito.
  • Measures free and total cortisol in serum at one collection time. These are two fractions of the same hormone, not a daily cortisol curve, a saliva panel or a 24-hour urine collection.
  • Results are delivered to the Mito dashboard after laboratory processing.

Watch-outs

  • Available in 47 states and Washington, DC. Not currently available in NJ, NY or RI.
  • Quest Diagnostics test 37077, for 47 states and Washington, DC, excluding NJ, NY and RI: $257.76 without membership or $184.11 with optional $9 monthly membership, plus a separate $15.00 order fee.
  • Membership is optional. The final checkout total, cancellation and refund terms remain unverified.
  • No product-specific result time has been verified.
  • A single free-and-total cortisol result does not diagnose Cushing syndrome, adrenal insufficiency or the cause of fatigue. Collection time, symptoms, medications and further clinician-directed testing matter.
  • Collection time matters because cortisol changes through the day; baseline draws are commonly around 8 a.m. Follow the timing selected by your clinician. No fasting is required. Report oral, inhaled, topical or injected corticosteroids, estrogen use and pregnancy. Acute illness, physical stress and poor sleep can affect results. Do not change prescribed medication on your own.
  • Results appear in the Mito dashboard after laboratory processing. A personalized action plan requires membership; live consultations cost extra.
  • This test is marked HSA/FSA eligible. Your plan determines individual eligibility and reimbursement.
