The DUTCH Plus test expands upon the capabilities of the DUTCH Complete by including both dried urine and salivary hormone assessments. It measures a broad range of sex hormones, adrenal hormones, and their metabolites while incorporating evaluation of the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR). This combination offers a comprehensive overview of hormone production, metabolism, and daily cortisol patterns. Such insight can be valuable for individuals interested in understanding their hormonal activity and stress-related rhythms in a lifestyle context.

This assessment may support individuals exploring patterns related to hormonal changes throughout different life stages or daily fluctuations that can influence energy levels, mood, and sleep quality. The test provides information on the metabolism of key hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone, and androgens in women, and testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol in men. These details can offer useful perspectives for those focused on overall wellness, hormonal balance, and resilience to daily stressors. The information gained supports a broad, integrative approach to health and personal optimisation.

Results from the DUTCH Plus are designed to be considered alongside personal lifestyle factors, habits, and wellbeing goals. This holistic view may assist practitioners and individuals in guiding tailored nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, or supportive strategies. Tracking changes over time also helps in observing responses to various interventions or routine changes. The test thus serves as an educational tool for enhancing general wellness and maintaining hormonal balance in everyday life.
