Have you noticed a loss of lean muscle since increasing your training plan? Have you tried to ‘loose body fat’ through calorie restriction and noticed a dip in your sex drive and/or erectile dysfunction?

Are you an endurance athlete and experience a lot of stress in your life and noticed an increase in weight and body fat despite adhering to your nutrition and training plan? Then the DUTCH test could answer and help identify and address many of these questions.

DUTCH offers the most extensive profile of sex hormones and adrenal hormones along with their metabolites. Additionally, the daily (diurnal) pattern of free cortisol (stress hormone) is included, along with melatonin (sleep hormone), 8-OHdG (marker for oxidative stress) and six organic acids.

Three of the six organic acids build up in the urine when there is a vitamin or nutrient deficiency. Specifically, xanthurenate, methylmalonate and pyroglutamate elevations serve as markers for vitamin B6, B12 and glutathione deficiencies, respectively. In addition, three neurotransmitter metabolites are included to give an insight into the production of serotonin, dopamine, and adrenaline. These three neurotransmitter metabolites will offer insights into symptoms such as mood disorders and fatigue.

DUTCH is a home kit delivered and collected at your home via courier and takes circa 3 weeks for the results. For maximum benefit we recommend that the results are analysed by a registered practitioner however we can release results directly to the client. Our sister company Nadura Integrative Natural Health Ltd www.nadura.ie are registered practitioners and can analyse your results and create a targeted nutrient & dietary programme unique to you.
