DUTCH – Dried Urine Test for Complete Hormones

The DUTCH test is a comprehensive look at your hormone levels and systems. The DUTCH uses a dried urine collection method which is a convenient and accurate.

Sex hormones

An imbalance in sex hormones may be present in PMS, irregular or absent cycles, anovulation, infertility, recurrent miscarriage, endometriosis, skin problems and fibroids amongst others.  Detoxification of oestrogen is also an important consideration where there is an increased risk of breast cancer.

You can take the standard test if you have a cycle or if it is absent.  If you have a menstrual cycle, your Nutritionist may recommend to track your hormone fluctuations over the course of one cycle – this is the DUTCH Complete Hormones with Cycle Mapping.

 

Markers analysed:

  • Oestrogen and the metabolites indicating how you detoxify oestrogen
  • Progesterone
  • Testosterone and metabolites of testosterone including the most active form
  • DHEA (a master hormone)

 

Stress hormones

Stress can have a profound effect on our emotional and physical well-being, affecting everyone at some point and causing symptoms including weight gain, depression, digestive problems, hormonal imbalance and many more.  Continued imbalance of stress hormones can wear the body down, triggering chronic fatigue. An altered cortisol pattern can contribute to sleep irregularities or feelings of exhaustion that are not relieved by rest or sleep.

Markers analysed:

  • Cortisol, breakdown products and cortisone
  • Stress hormone pattern over the course of the day as an important indicator of recovery from stress and resilience to stress

 

Markers of Nutritional Deficiencies

B12 and B6 play an important role in hormonal balance, symptoms of PMS, pain and mood balance.

 

Markers analysed:

  • Organic acids found in the urine which are shown to be reliable indicators of B6 and B12 deficiencies

 

Markers of oxidative stress

Oxidative stress can contribute to cell damage, inflammation and pain.

 

Markers analysed:

  • 8-OHdG marker found in the urine as a reliable indicator of oxidative stress
  • Marker of glutathione requirements, an important antioxidant

 

Neurotransmitters and hormones

Neurotransmitters and their metabolites are critical in regulating mood, sleep, motivation and energy.

Markers analysed:

  • Dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine/ norepinephrine
  • Melatonin is the hormone that regulates sleep

Friends and family have complimented me on how well I look!! Again my sincere thanks & appreciation of your excellent blend of professionalism, encouragement and compassion. Kathleen, Galway
I had expected the physical benefits, but the mental and emotional benefits were unexpected and glorious. I cannot recommend Glenville Nutrition highly enough.
