All About the DUTCH Complete Test

At The Happy Hormone Cottage, we proudly use the clinically validated, peer-reviewed DUTCH COMPLETE™ Test from Precision Analytical Inc., which gives us a full picture of some of your most important hormones and how your body uses them. We use the DUTCH COMPLETE™ Test because it gives much more detailed information than a regular blood or saliva test. This test makes it possible to measure how your stress hormone (cortisol) fluctuates over the course of a day, which helps us see how you handle stress and what your energy levels are like. It also takes a look at markers like organic acids and melatonin, which tell us more about your sleep, nutrition, and overall health. We are dedicated to offering holistic treatment options that help you achieve optimal health and quality of life, and this test is part of how we achieve that.

How Do I Take the Test?

Taking the test is easy—you simply use samples of your urine that’s collected at home, usually in the morning, afternoon, evening, and before bed. The urine is collected on small paper strips that are dried and sent to the lab for analysis. This is a safe, non-invasive way for us to comprehensively track your hormones and cortisol rhythms—something that just isn’t possible with standard blood tests.

Who Can Benefit from DUTCH Testing?

In short, the DUTCH test is for anyone interested in addressing concerns about their hormone production or adrenal health, or who are experiencing symptoms such as:

• Chronic stress or fatigue
• Low libido
• Fertility issues
• Sleep disturbances or mood changes
• Perimenopause or menopause symptoms
• Painful periods
• Weight gain or metabolic resistance
• Inflammation or immune concerns
• Hair thinning or loss
