We Are DUTCH
Our mission is to empower providers to address complex hormonal issues, enhance patient outcomes, and improve lives.
The DUTCH Difference
Founded in 2012 by Mark Newman, MS, the DUTCH Test was created to revolutionize hormonal health care and elevate patient outcomes.
Recognizing the critical need for a more effective approach to wellness—and the severe limitations of traditional urine and salivary tests—Mark set out to build the most comprehensive tool for identifying hormonal imbalances and dysfunctions.
The DUTCH Test combines the convenience of at-home urine collection with powerful, peer-reviewed insights, giving global providers the advanced tools needed to tackle complex patient challenges.
Precision Analytical, the creator of the DUTCH Test, operates as a CLIA-certified laboratory committed to solving complex clinical questions. Our advanced hormone testing methods empower providers to investigate and manage hormonal conditions more effectively, reflecting our mission to transform lives through innovative hormone testing.
