What is a DUTCH test and why do you need one?
The DUTCH test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is one of the most advanced hormone testing tools available. It provides a detailed overview of your sex hormones, adrenal function, cortisol rhythm, melatonin levels, and their metabolites, giving insight into how your body is managing stress, metabolism, and hormonal balance.
This test is essential for identifying the root causes of hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, irregular cycles, PMS, low libido, sleep issues, and stress-related conditions. It is a key tool in functional medicine for developing a precise and personalised approach to hormone health.
What does the test analyse?
The DUTCH test measures:
- Sex hormones: oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and their metabolites
- Adrenal hormones: cortisol and DHEA, plus their daily rhythms
- Melatonin levels and sleep-related hormone patterns
- Hormone metabolism: how your body processes and clears hormones
- Stress response: including cortisol awakening response (CAR)
What you’ll learn?
- Whether your hormones are in balance, and how this affects your symptoms
- Your cortisol rhythm and how well your body handles stress throughout the day
- Insights into sleep quality, energy levels, and adrenal resilience
- How your body metabolises hormones — critical for cancer prevention and detoxification
- Personalised strategies to support hormonal health through diet, supplements, stress management, and lifestyle changes
