Dried Urine Test Kit

Hormones influence many aspects of health including metabolism, mood, sleep, reproductive health and stress resilience. Understanding how your body produces and processes these hormones can provide valuable insight into underlying hormonal patterns.

The Advanced DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is a detailed hormone assessment that measures sex hormones, adrenal hormones and hormone metabolism pathways using dried urine samples collected at home.

Unlike standard blood tests that provide a single snapshot of hormone levels, the DUTCH Test evaluates hormone production, metabolism and daily cortisol rhythm, providing a more comprehensive view of hormonal health.

By measuring hormone metabolites, this test can help identify how effectively your body processes hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, helping guide personalised strategies for hormone balance and optimisation.

The DUTCH Test measures a comprehensive range of hormone markers and metabolites to assess both hormone levels and how they are processed within the body.

Sex Hormones

These hormones influence reproductive health, mood, metabolism and overall wellbeing.

Markers assessed include:

• Estrogen (E1, E2, E3)
• Progesterone metabolites
• Testosterone
• DHEA and androgen metabolites

These measurements help evaluate hormone production and balance within the reproductive endocrine system.

Hormone Metabolism Pathways

In addition to measuring hormone levels, the DUTCH Test evaluates how hormones are metabolised and cleared from the body.

This includes pathways involved in:

• Estrogen metabolism
• Detoxification pathways influencing hormone clearance
• Protective versus potentially harmful hormone metabolites

Understanding these pathways can help identify whether hormones are being processed efficiently.

Adrenal Hormones

The test also evaluates adrenal function through measurements of cortisol and related metabolites.

Markers assessed include:

• Cortisol rhythm across the day
• Cortisol metabolites
• DHEA levels

These results provide insight into stress physiology and HPA axis function.

Sleep and Circadian Markers

The DUTCH Test also includes melatonin assessment, providing insight into sleep-wake cycle regulation and circadian rhythm patterns.
This analysis may provide insight into:

• Hormonal imbalances affecting reproductive or metabolic health
• Estrogen metabolism patterns
• Adrenal hormone function and cortisol rhythm
• Hormone detoxification and clearance pathways
• Biological patterns contributing to fatigue, mood changes or metabolic concerns

Understanding these patterns can help guide personalised strategies aimed at supporting hormone balance and overall wellbeing.
This test may be beneficial for individuals who:

• Experience fatigue, low energy or poor stress tolerance
• Notice mood changes, irritability or anxiety
• Experience unexplained weight changes
• Have symptoms associated with PMS, perimenopause or menopause
• Are navigating fertility challenges or hormonal irregularities
• Have previously had hormone tests reported as “normal” but continue to experience symptoms

It may also be useful for individuals wanting a comprehensive, data-informed assessment of hormonal health.
Once your laboratory results are available, you will be required to book a results consultation to review your report.

During this session, your results are interpreted within a clinical context to translate your hormone data into practical and personalised health strategies.

Your consultation may include discussion around:

• Nutritional strategies to support hormone balance
• Lifestyle factors influencing hormone regulation
• Targeted supplementation where appropriate
• Stress management and sleep optimisation strategies
• Long-term hormone health planning
To ensure accurate results, please follow these preparation guidelines:

• Collect urine samples on the filter paper provided in the kit at specific intervals across a 24-hour period
• Follow the detailed instructions included with the testing kit for correct timing and collection
• If possible, avoid hormone supplements for 48 hours prior to testing (consult your practitioner if unsure)
• Maintain your normal diet and lifestyle unless otherwise advised
• Return samples according to the shipping instructions provided
Your DUTCH Test report provides a detailed assessment of hormone levels, metabolism patterns and adrenal hormone rhythms.

The report typically highlights:

• Sex hormone levels including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone
• Hormone metabolite patterns, showing how hormones are processed and cleared
• Cortisol rhythm patterns, reflecting adrenal function and stress physiology
• DHEA levels, which help assess adrenal resilience
• Melatonin markers, providing insight into sleep and circadian rhythm regulation

Interpreting these patterns helps identify hormonal imbalances, metabolism patterns and adrenal function changes that may influence overall health.

Reviewing the results within a clinical consultation allows personalised strategies to be developed to support hormone balance, metabolic health and long-term wellbeing.
Many people take supplements without truly understanding what their body needs. While some nutrients can be helpful, taking supplements without proper assessment may mean addressing the wrong problem or missing important underlying factors.

Functional testing allows us to move beyond guesswork and instead use objective data to guide personalised health strategies.

Testing can help identify:

• Nutrient deficiencies or imbalances
• Environmental exposures that may impact health
• Microbial imbalances within the gut
• Genetic variations that influence metabolism and cellular processes
• Biological patterns that may be contributing to symptoms

Rather than taking a generalised approach, testing provides information that allows recommendations to be tailored to your individual physiology.

This helps ensure that nutritional strategies, supplementation and lifestyle interventions are targeted, appropriate and aligned with your specific health needs.

For this reason, all testing offered through the clinic is reviewed within a clinical consultation, where results are interpreted and translated into practical, personalised recommendations.
Functional health testing can provide valuable insights into how the body is functioning. However, interpreting these results correctly requires clinical context.

Laboratory reports often present large amounts of technical data, and results may fall within reference ranges while still indicating patterns that are relevant to your health.

Working with a practitioner ensures that your results are reviewed in relation to your:

• Symptoms and health history
• Current diet and lifestyle factors
• Medication or supplement use
• Environmental exposures
• Overall health goals

Rather than looking at individual markers in isolation, a practitioner assesses patterns across multiple systems to better understand what may be influencing your health.

During your results consultation, findings from your test are translated into clear and practical recommendations, which may include targeted nutrition strategies, lifestyle adjustments and appropriate supplementation where required.

This personalised approach helps ensure that testing leads to meaningful, actionable changes that support long-term health outcomes.
