DUTCH Complete is a comprehensive dried urine test that evaluates sex and adrenal hormone production and metabolism. The DUTCH Complete includes organic acid testing to provide insights into nutritional deficiencies, oxidative stress, gut dysbiosis, melatonin levels, and neuroinflammation. Providers can also gain insights into the overall diurnal pattern of free cortisol and the total distribution of cortisol metabolites. The DUTCH Complete evaluates sex hormones and their metabolites, cortisol (stress hormone), melatonin metabolites, and markers for oxidative stress, nutritional deficiencies, and more. 

Difference between DUTCH and blood tests: A blood test measures the amount of hormone in the blood at a specific point in time, while the Dutch Test analyzes hormone metabolites in urine, allowing for a more complete and detailed view of hormonal function throughout the day.
