DUTCH Complete Adrenal Sex & Hormone Test for Men

The DUTCH Complete Adrenal, Sex & Hormone Test for Men is a gold-standard assessment for understanding the full picture of your hormone health. By measuring sex hormones, adrenal hormones, and key organic acids, this test provides valuable insights into how your body is functioning and where imbalances may be affecting your well-being.

Unlike basic blood tests, the DUTCH Complete uses a series of dried urine samples collected over the course of a day. This allows for a more complete and accurate view of hormone production, metabolism, and balance, along with other important health markers.

What Is the DUTCH Complete Test?

The DUTCH Complete Test is broken down into three main panels, each offering a unique perspective on your health:

DUTCH Sex Hormones

This test measures key sex hormones and their metabolites, including:

  • Androgen metabolites (testosterone, DHEA, DHT)
  • Oestrogen metabolites
  • Progesterone metabolites

Results are presented with easy-to-read graphics that help you understand hormone breakdown pathways and their balance within your system.

DUTCH Adrenal

DUTCH Adrenal assesses your daily rhythm of adrenal hormones by measuring:

  • Free cortisol and cortisone throughout the day
  • Metabolites of cortisol and DHEA
  • Creatinine measurements for all four daily collections

This gives a clear picture of your stress response patterns and adrenal function over 24 hours.

DUTCH Organic Acid Tests (OAT)

DUTCH OAT evaluates important metabolic and nutritional markers, including:

  • Vitamin B6, B12, and biotin levels
  • Glutathione status (the body’s master antioxidant)
  • Gut marker indican (an indicator of potential dysbiosis)
  • Melatonin production
  • Oxidative stress markers
  • Neurotransmitter metabolites related to dopamine and norepinephrine

How Hormone Imbalances Affect Men’s Health

Balanced sex and adrenal hormones are essential for overall health and well-being. They influence energy, mood, motivation, body composition, sexual health, and cognitive function.

In men, hormone imbalances can contribute to:

  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Reduced libido and sexual performance issues
  • Mood swings, anxiety, or low mood
  • Loss of muscle mass or increased abdominal fat
  • Poor recovery from exercise
  • Cognitive decline or brain fog

This test can also be used to establish baseline measurements for those starting or monitoring hormone replacement therapy (e.g., testosterone).

FAQs

Over time, men experience a gradual loss of hormones produced in the testes and adrenal glands. Declining testosterone and other anabolic hormones in men from the mid-30s onward may influence the age-related deteriorations in the body and function.

Testosterone and DHEA levels decline, while oestrogen levels tend to increase. Male menopause, or what is also termed ‘andropause,’ can contribute to the following symptoms:

  • Weight gain
  • Loss of libido or lower sex drive
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Depression
  • Hair loss
  • Sleeping problems
  • Fatigue
  • Increased prostate cancer risk

The rate of decline in testosterone levels varies in different individuals and is affected by chronic diseases such as obesity, illness, emotional stress, and medications. This decline can be mitigated by managing health and lifestyle factors.

Many men feel this is part of getting older and do not realise that we can investigate the hormone imbalances and address them to help optimise health.

The test measures testosterone, the stress hormones DHEA-S and Cortisol, plus progesterone and oestrogen and their breakdown products. It covers 35 different test markers.

  • Testosterone, Oestrogen and progesterone: the important sex hormones
  • Daily free cortisol: with 4 different samples taken over 24 hours, this provides information about stress patterns throughout the day
  • Oxidative stress marker: (8OHdG) provides information about free radicals and damage to cells
  • Melatonin: the major modulator of circadian rhythms in the body associated with the sleep/wake cycle.
  • Organic acids: including markers for vitamin B12 (methylmalonate), vitamin B6 (xanthurenate), glutathione (pyroglutamate), dopamine (homovanillate), adrenaline (vanilmandelate), and serotonin (5-hydroxy indole acetate). These provide information about metabolism/workings in the body’s pathways.
