At home test
Details
When it comes to getting baseline sex hormone measurements or monitoring levels during hormone replacement therapy, this test makes it easy for practitioners and patients. By utilizing a liquid chromatography mass-spectrometry method, this unique sex hormone metabolite profile can provide more accurate vaginal hormone and oral progesterone monitoring.

The DUTCH Sex Hormone Metabolites is the ultimate test for HRT monitoring and great for baseline measurements as well. It is a unique method for more accurate vaginal hormone and oral progesterone monitoring.
This test is run on LC-MS/MS: More sensitive than GC-MS or GC-MS/MS for sex hormone metabolites!
This kit includes:
• Easy directions and filter paper collection strips
• Requisition form for patient information, pertinent supplements, medications, hormone replacement and a health questionnaire
• Sealable return envelope
These results include:
• Extensive Estrogen Metabolites: E1, E2, E3, 2-OH-E1, 4-OH-E1, 16-OH-E1, 2-Methoxy-E1, 2-Methoxy-E2, 2-OH-E2, 4-OH-E2
• Extensive Androgen Metabolites: Testosterone, DHEAs, DHT, and more (7)
• Progesterone Metabolites: b-Pregnanediol, a-Pregnanediol (2)
• Graphical representation of results and embedded video tutorials to assist in the hormone assessment to share with your medical provider
