The Advanced DUTCH Check can help you gain a deeper understanding of your hormonal health. This comprehensive assessment measures key hormones like cortisol, oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and their metabolites, providing insights into energy, stress resilience, sleep quality, and overall hormone balance.
What is DUTCH Advanced Testing?
The DUTCH Advanced Test provides the most complete picture of hormone health, offering detailed insights into oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and their metabolites. This comprehensive test goes beyond standard hormone panels, measuring critical pathways involved in hormone production, detoxification, and clearance. It evaluates your body’s ability to break down and eliminate oestrogens, detect potential hormone imbalances, and assess the impact of stress on adrenal function. This test is ideal for those concerned about hormone-related symptoms like mood swings, fatigue, weight changes, or hormone-sensitive conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, and oestrogen dominance.
With the DUTCH Advanced Test, you gain a deeper understanding of how your hormones impact your overall well-being. It not only measures hormone levels but also assesses how your body metabolises and clears them, providing critical information for personalised hormone support.

What's included
Oestrogen Metabolism
This comprehensive assessment of oestrogen levels and metabolism, measures key oestrogen forms (oestradiol, oestrone, and oestriol) along with their breakdown pathways. It helps identify hormonal imbalances and assess oestrogen clearance, providing insights into hormone-related symptoms like PMS, perimenopause, weight gain, and breast health.
Progesterone Metabolism
This test evaluates progesterone metabolism, providing insights into overall hormone balance, adrenal health, and the body's ability to convert progesterone into its active metabolites. It can help identify issues related to stress resilience, mood regulation, menstrual cycle stability, and overall hormone function.
Androgens
This test measures primary androgens, including DHEA, testosterone, and their metabolites, providing a comprehensive view of androgen production and metabolism. It helps assess energy, muscle mass, libido, mood stability, and overall vitality, while also highlighting potential imbalances related to adrenal function and hormone conversion pathways.
Melatonins
This test measures urinary melatonin levels throughout the day, providing insight into your body's natural sleep-wake cycle and overall circadian rhythm function. It helps identify potential imbalances that may impact sleep quality, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.
Endocrine Disruptors
This test assesses exposure to common endocrine disruptors, including heavy metals, plastics, and industrial chemicals, which can interfere with hormone function and disrupt metabolic processes. It provides insights into potential toxic burden, helping guide personalised detoxification and lifestyle recommendations.
Nutritional & Other Organic Acids
This panel includes a range of nutritional organic acids that reflect vitamin status, neurotransmitter metabolism, and cellular energy production. It provides insights into nutrient deficiencies, neurotransmitter imbalances, and potential mitochondrial dysfunction, supporting a comprehensive understanding of overall metabolic health.
Free Cortisols
Urinary free diurnal cortisol testing provides a detailed view of adrenal function, stress response, and circadian rhythm, revealing patterns that impact energy, sleep, and long-term resilience.
Glucocorticoids
Urinary glucocorticoid testing assesses adrenal health, stress response, and metabolic resilience, providing insights into energy levels, inflammation, and overall hormonal balance.
Free Cortisones
Urinary free diurnal cortisone testing reveals how your body regulates stress and recovery, providing insights into adrenal function, daily energy patterns, and long-term hormone balan
Urinary Creatinine
Urinary creatinine testing provides insights into kidney function, hydration status, and overall muscle health, helping to standardise hormone metabolite measurements for more accurate hormone assessment.
