What is the DUTCH test?

The DUTCH Complete (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is the world leader in hormone panels. This test is a comprehensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones and their metabolites. It also includes the daily, free cortisol pattern, melatonin (6-OHMS), 8-OHdG, and organic acids. The DUTCH Plus also includes the salivary cortisol awakening response, which is useful in assessing the stress response and level of adrenal depletion. Prices below.

Why should I get tested?

There many reasons men should get their hormones tested. Yes, testosterone is one of them - and low levels can impact more than just your sex drive - but there is way more going on than that. Men’s health is impacted by stress hormones, sleep-wake hormones, nutrient levels and more.

Once we find which markers are out of balance, we can bring them back into balance, and get you feeling great again.

The DUTCH test is an advanced hormone test that digs deep into over 40 markers to uncover the whole picture of hormonal health, and provides valuable insights into the cause of imbalances and the best treatment going forward. Here is a snapshot of some of the most useful markers:

• Testosterone and Epi-Testosterone aid in distinguishing between free testosterone levels and total testosterone production.

• Dopamine and Norepinephrine metabolites can impact mood and cognitive function.

• Understanding the three different types of estrogen and how the body metabolizes estrogen is essential. Men require some estrogen, but excessive amounts can lead to problems, and inadequate estrogen detoxification can exacerbate prostate issues.

• Total cortisol production, along with the levels of free cortisol and free cortisone, are measured multiple times throughout the day and night to evaluate the changing cortisol rhythm.

• Xanthurenate and Kynurenate serve as markers for neuroinflammation and aid in determining B6 levels.

• 5a-DHT is a more potent form of testosterone linked to hair loss, prostate issues, and acne. Having some is desirable, but elevated levels are not.

• Glutathione and oxidative stress markers help evaluate detoxification capabilities.

• Melatonin production, as well as low melatonin or high cortisol levels, can influence sleep quality.

• Methylmalonic acid assesses cellular B12 levels.
