A Comprehensive Assessment of Hormonal Health

The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) test measures a wide range of sex and adrenal hormones, along with their metabolites, to provide a comprehensive assessment of hormonal health, including cortisol patterns, melatonin, and other biomarkers.

Who Should Consider the DUTCH Plus Test?

• Women with Hormonal Imbalances – PMS, irregular periods, menopause, estrogen dominance, PCOS, or fertility concerns.
• Men with Testosterone or Cortisol Issues – Low energy, weight gain, mood swings, or testosterone concerns.
• Those Struggling with Stress & Fatigue – Assesses cortisol patterns & adrenal function.
• Anyone with Sleep Issues – Includes melatonin testing to identify sleep disruptions.
• Individuals with Anxiety, Depression, or Brain Fog – Evaluates neurotransmitter-related markers affecting mood & focus.
• Those on or Considering HRT – Provides a detailed look at hormone metabolism.
• Anyone Seeking a Deeper Hormone & Adrenal Analysis – Includes the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) for insight into stress resilience & immune function.

What does the Dutch Test measure?

1. Sex Hormones & Metabolites:

• ESTROGENS: Essential for fertility, PMS, & menopause symptoms; crucial for overall health.
• ESTROGEN METABOLITES: Shows how your body processes & detoxifies estrogen, which can impact your risk for various cancers, cysts, & fibroids.
• TESTOSTERONE: Vital for both men & women. Optimal levels linked to vitality, mood, fertility & performance.
• PROGESTERONE METABOLITES: Indicates total progesterone levels which can affect PMS symptoms & fertility.
• ANDROGEN METABOLITES OF DHEA-S & TESTOSTERONE: Evaluates how well your body processes testosterone which can impact hair loss, skin health, & prostate cancer risk.

2. Adrenal Hormones & Metabolites:

• TOTAL METABOLIZED CORTISOL: Reflects your cortisol production throughout the day & guides your treatment plan.
• TOTAL CORTISONE: Shows how quickly your body de-activates cortisol to cortisone.
• FREE CORTISOL: Indicates the active cortisol levels in your body and helps guide treatment.
• FREE CORTISONE: Evaluates cortisol de-activation to cortisone, important for treatment planning.
• TETRAHYDROCORTISONE & CORTISOL METABOLITES: Provides insight into cortisol metabolism.
• DHEA-S: A precursor to testosterone and estrogen; its levels can indicate PCOS & adrenal insufficiency.

3. Organic Acids

• NEUROTRANSMITTERS, B12, B6, GLUTATHIONE: Critical information regarding brain chemistry, energy production, & detoxification.

4. Melatonin

• 6-OH-MELATONIN-SULFATE: Measures melatonin production which affects sleep quality & overall health.
