DUTCH Complete
Why it Matters
Hormones play a critical role in energy, mood, metabolism, and overall well-being. Imbalances can contribute to fatigue, stress, burnout, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmunity, and metabolic issues, yet standard hormone tests often miss key insights.
The DUTCH Complete Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) provides a comprehensive analysis of hormone production, metabolism, and detoxification.
Unlike blood tests, which offer a single snapshot, DUTCH testing tracks hormone fluctuations throughout the day, giving a more accurate picture of adrenal health, sex hormone balance, and stress response.
This advanced test is particularly valuable for those struggling with burnout, stress-related fatigue, thyroid conditions, autoimmune diseases, PMS, perimenopause, or postmenopausal hormone changes. It helps uncover the root cause of symptoms, guiding a targeted approach to restoring balance and vitality.
Markers
1. Sex Hormones & Metabolites
✔ Oestrogen Metabolism (Estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2), Estriol (E3))
✔ Oestrogen Detoxification Pathways (2-OH, 4-OH, 16-OH oestrogen metabolites)
✔ Progesterone & Metabolites (Pregnanediol, Allopregnanolone)
✔ Testosterone & Androgen Markers (Testosterone, DHT, DHEA-S, Androstenedione)
✔ Androgen Metabolites (5a-DHT, 5a-Androstanediol, 5b-Androstanediol)
2. Adrenal & Cortisol Function
✔ Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) – Measures adrenal response to stress
✔ Free Cortisol & Cortisone – Active vs. inactive forms of cortisol
✔ Cortisol Metabolites – Understanding long-term adrenal function
✔ DHEA & DHEA-S – Key markers of adrenal resilience
3. Organic Acids & Neurotransmitters
✔ Melatonin (6-OHMS) – Sleep and circadian rhythm regulation
✔ Neurotransmitter Markers – Dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine metabolism
✔ B6 & B12 Metabolism – Nutrient cofactors for hormone balance and energy production
✔ Glutathione & Oxidative Stress Markers – Cellular detoxification capacity
4. Methylation & Detoxification Pathways
✔ COMT Activity – How well oestrogen and neurotransmitters are cleared
✔ Phase I & Phase II Liver Detox Markers – Detoxification efficiency
Who should consider this test
✔ Burnout & Chronic Fatigue – Assessing adrenal function, cortisol patterns, and hormone balance in response to long-term stress.
✔ Thyroid Dysfunction – Identifying adrenal-thyroid imbalances that impact metabolism and energy levels.
✔ Autoimmune Conditions – Understanding how stress and hormone imbalances contribute to immune dysregulation.
✔ Perimenopause & Menopause – Evaluating shifting oestrogen, progesterone, and androgen levels for symptom management.
✔ PMS & Menstrual Irregularities – Identifying hormone imbalances that cause mood swings, bloating, heavy or painful periods.
✔ PCOS & Androgen Imbalances – Assessing testosterone, DHEA, and androgen metabolites for those with PCOS or unwanted hair growth.
✔ Endometriosis – Assessing oestrogen metabolism, inflammation, and hormone imbalances that contribute to pain and symptoms.
✔ Sleep Issues & Low Energy – Analysing melatonin levels and adrenal function for sleep optimisation.
✔ Mood Imbalances & Anxiety – Investigating neurotransmitter function, oestrogen dominance, and stress-related hormone fluctuations.
✔ Detoxification & Liver Health – Evaluating how well the body metabolises and clears hormones to prevent imbalances.
✔ Post-Birth Control Syndrome – Supporting hormonal recovery after stopping oral contraceptives.
