Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones (Dutch)
A Dutch test is used to assess hormonal balance in the body. This test is designed to measure a wide range of hormones, including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, by analyzing dried urine samples collected throughout the day.
The main advantages of a Dutch test include:
- Comprehensive Hormone Profile: The test provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of hormone levels, allowing for a more accurate assessment of hormonal imbalances.
- Cortisol Rhythm Analysis: The test measures cortisol levels at multiple points throughout the day, providing insights into the body’s stress response and adrenal function.
- Individualized Treatment: Results from the Dutch test can help in developing personalized treatment plans tailored to address specific hormonal imbalances identified in an individual.
- Non-Invasive Collection: Dried urine samples are collected at home, making the process convenient and non-invasive for individuals.
