A thorough symptom evaluation is essential to assess potential hormone imbalances. The DUTCH Complete™ Test Kit is a comprehensive urine test that evaluates sex and adrenal hormone production and metabolism. The DUTCH sex hormone panel is the ultimate test for HRT monitoring and great for baseline measurements. The DUTCH Adrenal Panel provides free cortisol patterns that parallel saliva with the addition of metabolite measurements for an improved marker for total cortisol production.The DUTCH OATs profile is a combination of biomarkers to compliment hormone metabolite measurements including a series of organic acids and other select tests. Organic acids related to nutrient deficiencies include biochemical intermediates that are proven to become elevated in the absence of sufficient nutrient status and other biomarkers may indicate oxidative stress, melatonin deficiency, and/or gut dysbiosis, all of which impact patient hormone stories.This test combines the DUTCH Sex Hormones, Adrenal, and OATs Panels.
