Hormone Testing – The Dutch Test (DUTCH Complete Hormone Testing with Cortisol Awakening Response)

£420.00

To assess your sex and stress hormone levels and how they are metabolised through the body. Diet, lifestyle and supplementation can all influence whether hormones are cleared through protective pathways or those associated with higher risk of conditions like breast cancer and adverse heart outcomes. The DUTCH Complete with Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) offers an extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones to help identify the root causes of hormone imbalances in men and women. It can provide insights into conditions such as the menopause, andropause, PCOS, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, premenstrual syndrome, mood swings, sleep issues, mood disorders and prostate issues in men. Additionally, the test can be used to gather baseline measurements for the administration and monitoring of hormone replacement therapy.

The test analyses 35 different hormones; oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S and cortisol along with their metabolites. It also measures daily free cortisol, the oxidative stress marker 8OHdG, melatonin, six organic acids and the CAR, which is an excellent snapshot of HPA (Hypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal) axis function.

A low CAR can be a result of an underactive HPA axis, psychological burnout, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), sleep issues, PTSD, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, hypertension, gastrointestinal issues, post-natal depression and autoimmune disease. An elevated CAR can be the result of an overactive HPA axis, anticipatory stress, glycaemic (blood sugar) dysregulation, pain and depression.

The Dutch complete measures your adrenal hormones in your urine. The cortisol awakening response (CAR) measures your stress hormones in your saliva - so you do the first upon waking and then at 30 minutes and 60 minutes after waking. Then again in the afternoon and evening. This can be useful for measuring your ability to respond to stress - this may show that your overall levels of stress hormones in urine are okay but your ability to respond to stress upon waking is poor.
