The DUTCH Difference

DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is a groundbreaking methodology that sets a new standard in hormone metabolite testing, surpassing traditional saliva and blood tests.

While traditional hormone diagnostics provide limited information about hormonal status, the DUTCH Test provides practitioners with a complete picture of patient hormone levels and metabolism to help solve complex clinical questions with easy at-home collection.


Every Sample Has a Story

DUTCH offers the most comprehensive testing for sex and adrenal hormones, along with their metabolites. This extensive data helps providers identify the root causes of symptoms, allowing for personalized treatment plans and peace of mind.

Whether dealing with hormone-related issues like fibroids, infertility, PCOS, low testosterone, or perimenopause, or simply looking to optimize hormone health, the DUTCH Test can help deliver the insights you and your patients need.

Support Beyond the Basics

Stay ahead in cutting-edge hormone health with personalized consultations, advanced training, and easy-to-understand resources. Our team of DUTCH clinical experts guides providers through support and education to continually improve the lives of patients.

Hormone Insights for Numerous Conditions

DUTCH markers enable providers to revolutionize patient care.

The DUTCH Test allows me to help my patients see meaningful differentiation in their results, which helps me create even better treatment plans.

Carrie JonesND, FABNE, MPH

Women are suffering through perimenopause and we have to do better. Every one of my clients gets a DUTCH Complete™. It’s a great system of checks and balances. I don’t ever send someone out to get hormones until I do a DUTCH Test.

Esther BlumMS, RD, CDN, CNS

I will probably have a DUTCH Test once a year for as long as I’m alive, because I feel like I get a really good launching pad just to help me be the healthiest version of myself.
