The DUTCH test was created to deliver the most complete 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 great for baseline measurements of men and women with hormonal imbalances 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 valuable insights into the levels of progesterone and oestrogen as well as the way in which they are detoxified. It also measures cortisol levels and helps identify how relevant stress is in controling those levels. In this way it is possible to devise strategies that are specific to an individual's needs and biochemistry.
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 estrogen levels tend to rise. Those changes in homonal 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 homonal 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 controling hormonal balance and point towards accurate solution.
