DUTCH Test® (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) was created to deliver a comprehensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones, along with their metabolites, in one easy test.
No blood to draw, spitting in tubes or filling up jugs of urine. The dried urine collection process is an easy yet accurate method for measuring baseline hormone levels in men and women and for monitoring the efficacity of a treatment protocol.
WOMEN
Millions of women suffer from the symptoms of hormonal imbalances, from hot flushes, weight gain, fatigue, low libido and PMS to irritability and depression. The DUTCH test gives insight into the levels of progesterone and oestrogen as well as the way they are detoxified by the liver and cleared through the urine. The overall involvement of Adrenal stress and cortisol in controlling those levels is also monitored with four sample collection distributed through a typical day. This unique insight helps target nutritional, lifestyle and hormonal strategies with specific supplement, body identical hormones, detoxification protocols and naturopathic recommendations that are easily monitored with retesting.
MEN
Over time, men experience a gradual loss of their hormones that are produced in the gonads and adrenal glands.
Testosterone and DHEA levels fall and oestrogen levels tend to rise. Those changes in hormonal levels can lead to symptoms of weight gain, lower sex drive, depression, hair loss, sleeping troubles, fatigue, and increased prostate cancer risk. Many men feel this is part of getting older and do not believe that it is possible to take measures to improve hormonal balance. However this is not the case. Nutritional factors, sleep quality, exercise type and stress managements all have a major impact on hormonal balance.
The DUTCH test helps to get an accurate picture of the factors controlling hormonal balance and point towards accurate solution.
