Steroid Pathway Chart
The DUTCH Steroid Pathway is a summary depicting where hormones come from and how they form through various cells in the body. It includes supplements, nutrients, herbs, and medications shown in the literature to increase or decrease particular enzymes affecting these hormones. Please note, this is a general steroid pathway and does not specifically differentiate from cells in the ovaries, adrenal glands, or testes. Please see the DUTCH Treatment Guide for other factors affecting the production of primary reproductive and adrenal hormones.
