DUTCH Plus

Identify the source of your symptoms with the DUTCH hormonal analysis. The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is the most thorough at-home test available for detecting hormonal imbalances and adrenal dysfunction. This analysis evaluates all sex hormones, your daily cortisol patterns, and organic acids, which are indicators of metabolic health and neurotransmitter levels.

The DUTCH test provides an advanced evaluation of both hormones and their metabolites, offering a comprehensive view of your hormonal health and identifying any imbalances. Dried urine samples are collected throughout the day in the comfort of your home and then sent to a lab for detailed analysis. It's the most complete hormonal assessment available.

The DUTCH test measures:

• 35 different hormones and their metabolites, including:

  • Estrogen

  • Progesterone

  • Testosterone

  • DHEA-S

  • Cortisol

• Daily free cortisol patterns, which can indicate adrenal insufficiency or chronic stress symptoms.

The DUTCH Plus includes saliva samples to evaluate your Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR), providing further insights into the HPA axis and stress response.

Organic acids analyzed include markers for neurotransmitter and metabolic health, such as:

• Vanilmandelate (norepinephrine & epinephrine metabolite)

• Homovanillate (dopamine metabolite)

• Methylmalonate (vitamin B12 status)

• Xanthurenate (vitamin B6 status)

• Pyroglutamate (glutathione status)

• Melatonin (low levels can cause insomnia).

• Chronic fatigue

• Infertility
