Clinical value

This advanced hormone testing was developed to improve on the available hormone testing options. DUTCH offers the most extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones along with their metabolites.

When possible the metabolites reported allow the evaluation of:

  • Oestrogen metabolism in regards to unfavorable pathways and the possible link to risk of breast cancer
  • Adrenal activity; stress, adrenal fatigue or optimal function
  • Cycle mapping offers a complete picture of the menstrual cycle, allowing better characterization of the ovulatory and luteal peak”
