Stress Monitor

Your stress regulation

What is measured is not stress itself, but how well your body regulates it. Six microRNAs from a drop of capillary blood give an insight into the cellular control of your stress response.

Explained simply

Explained simply: what is done and why does it matter?

All terms and numbers explained simply

What is measured is not how stressed you feel. Six microRNAs in the blood give pointers to how your body responds to strain.

What is done?

The lab measures six microRNAs in the blood. They are involved in controlling the stress response in your cells.

Your pattern is compared with a reference group. Among other things, you receive a stress level for acute strain and one for longer-lasting, i.e. chronic, strain.

Why does it matter?

  • You get pointers as to whether short-term or lasting strain is in the foreground.
  • You can put the values next to how you feel yourself. If the two differ a lot, a conversation with your doctor can help.
  • A second measurement shows the progress, for example after changes in everyday life.

Good to know: The test does not make a diagnosis and has not been tested for that. There are no generally accepted thresholds for microRNAs as stress markers. The traffic light is based on the lab's reference values. If you feel under heavy strain for a long time, please talk to your doctor.

Result: Traffic light for acute and chronic stressNo genetic analysis

About this test

Stress Monitor in detail

01What is measured
  • Epigenetic and modifiable: let-7a-5p, let-7g-5p, miR-15a-5p, miR-16-5p, miR-21-5p, miR-106b-5p
02What you receive

Two reports: physiological stress level (acute and chronic) and risk of long-term effects. You read your report in the PolarisDX customer portal.

03One or two measurements

Epigenetic markers and microRNAs change with diet, exercise, sleep and stress. A second measurement shows the trend.

04How it works
  1. Activate the kit and complete the questionnaire in the PolarisDX customer portal.
  2. Place a few drops of capillary blood from your fingertip on the dried blood card. No cold shipping, no fasting, no venous puncture.
  3. Send the sample back.
  4. Read your report in the customer portal.

Guidance and progress-tracking tool, not diagnostics. The analysis does not replace a medical assessment. Laboratory analysis by our cooperation partner.
