HOW IT WORKS
Understanding DUTCH Testing
What is DUTCH Testing?
Hormonal shifts can significantly impact overall health and quality of life. DUTCH is a test to easily collect information on cortisol and stress hormones, melatonin and sleep hormones, androgen (testosterone), estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones and neurotransmitters.
It is a non-invasive, peer-reviewed, and accurate test for both information and treatment efficacy purposes.
What It Tests For
The DUTCH test assesses many markers of hormonal health. The test requires multiple dried urine samples over 24 hours to assess your hormones dynamically. This provides a more accurate representation of hormone balance, hormone metabolism, and excretion.
DUTCH is the most comprehensive testing for sex and adrenal hormones, along with their metabolites.
