What is the DUTCH Plus?

The acronym "DUTCH" stands for "Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones". The test is designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of your hormone levels and your metabolism, including levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, stress hormones like cortisol, and other hormones like melatonin and progesterone.

​

Unlike traditional hormone tests that measure hormone levels in blood or saliva, the DUTCH test analyzes your levels of hormone metabolites in urine, which can provide a more complete picture of your hormone levels and metabolism. The test is often used by healthcare practitioners to help diagnose and monitor hormone-related conditions you may have such as adrenal dysfunction, menopause, and thyroid dysfunction, as well as to evaluate hormone imbalances in both men and women.  It is important to consult a healthcare professional before undergoing any hormone testing.
