This DUTCH Plus® hormone test combines dried urine and saliva testing to provide a comprehensive assessment of sex hormones, adrenal hormones and the cortisol awakening response (CAR).
Suitable for both women and men, this advanced test can help explore:
Sex hormones: assess oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone and their metabolites
Oestrogen metabolism: examine how the body processes and clears oestrogen
Androgen health: measure testosterone, DHEA-S and related metabolites
Cortisol awakening response: assess the natural rise in cortisol during the first hour after waking
Daily cortisol patterns: measure 10–12 free cortisol and cortisone points across the day
Adrenal hormone output: explore how the body responds to ongoing physical and emotional demands
Hormone-related symptoms: investigate patterns that may be associated with fatigue, disrupted sleep, mood changes, low libido or menstrual concerns
Free cortisol is the active form of the hormone that can bind to receptors and produce an effect within the body. Measuring free cortisol alongside metabolised cortisol and sex hormones provides a detailed picture of hormone production, metabolism and daily cortisol regulation.
