What’s tested
Candida
The KBMO test measures and uses any candida overgrowth in the stomach/dysbiosis as a precursor to leaky gut occurrence.
Zonulin
Zonulin is a marker of intestinal permeability, otherwise known as leaky gut. If a patient has elevated Zonulin levels, the normal regulation of the tight junctions is compromised. This Zonulin marker is unique to KBMO.
Occludin
Occludin is a marker of tight junction stabilisation and optimal barrier function. Elevated occludin indicates that the tight junctions are breaking down.
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS)
LPS is a major structural component of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. Elevated levels of antibody against LPS may be indicative of Leaky Gut Syndrome and other gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases.

Description
DUTCH Plus provides a comprehensive assessment of 35 different sex and adrenal hormones, including oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol along with their metabolites. It also looks at the overall diurnal pattern of free cortisol and cortisone along with a more in-depth assessment of the Cortisol Awakening Response. The oxidative stress marker 8-OHdG, melatonin and nine organic acids including markers for vitamin B12 (methylmalonate), vitamin B6 (kynurenate and xanthurenate), biotin (β-hydroxyisovalerate), glutathione (pyroglutamate), dopamine (homovanillate), norepinephrine/epinephrine (vanilmandelate), neuroinflammation (quinolinate) and tryptophan putrefaction (indican) are also included.
The Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR)
When we wake in the morning and open our eyes, cortisol levels naturally begin to rise by an average of between 50-160% in the first 30 minutes after waking. By 60 minutes after waking, cortisol levels have peaked and begin to decline. Measuring this rise of cortisol levels at waking, known as the Cortisol Awakening Response, can be used as a “mini stress test”. Research shows that the size of this increase correlates with HPA-axis function, even if the sample measurements are all within range.
When should I use
DUTCH Plus can help identify the root causes of sex hormone and adrenal imbalances in men and women and includes assessment of the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) to give further insight to the HPA axis.
Measuring the body’s response to the stress of waking allows us to test the HPA axis independently of the patient’s free cortisol levels throughout the day.
DUTCH Plus is a great test to assess for sex and adrenal hormones. It is easy for them to collect the samples due to the unique combination of methodologies (dried urine and saliva) and provides more detail than traditional serum or saliva testing on their own. The inclusion of relevant nutritional, detoxification and neurotransmitter organic acids, melatonin and oxidative stress markers allows a thorough and comprehensive insight to guide your therapeutic dietary, supplemental and lifestyle recommendations.

My personal go-to test for female hormones is the DUTCH test.
It shows not just the levels of hormones excreted in urine, but more importantly the pathways the body uses to break those hormones down. If a certain pathway is inefficient, we can target that for improvement.
Additionally, the test gives a detailed analysis of cortisol and various organic acids, which can highlight issues with nutrient metabolism, neurotransmitter balance, or gut health (though it is not a gut panel test).
For further information on the DUTCH test, explore the options for DUTCH Complete and DUTCH Plus.
Pricing for the DUTCH Test ranges from £249 to £319.
Description
DUTCH Complete provides a comprehensive assessment of 35 different sex and adrenal hormones, including oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol along with their metabolites. It also measures daily free cortisol and cortisone patterns, the oxidative stress marker 8-OHdG, melatonin and nine organic acids including markers for vitamin B12 (methylmalonate), vitamin B6 (kynurenate and xanthurenate), biotin (β-hydroxyisovalerate), glutathione (pyroglutamate), dopamine (homovanillate), norepinephrine/epinephrine (vanilmandelate), neuroinflammation (quinolinate) and tryptophan putrefaction (indican).
When to use
DUTCH Complete can help identify the root causes of sex hormone and adrenal imbalances in both women and men. It can provide insights into conditions such as premenstrual syndrome, PMDD, PCOS, menopause, infertility, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, sleep issues and mood disorders in women. As well as infertility, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, sleep issues, mood disorders and prostate issues in men. Additionally, the test can be used to gather baseline measurements for the administration and monitoring of hormone replacement therapy.

The Adrenal Function Panel is a straightforward saliva test designed to detect imbalances or dysfunctions in the adrenal glands. These issues often present as a diminished output or changes in the daily pattern of adrenal secretions, such as cortisol and DHEA. Indications for this test include a range of symptoms: fatigue, nervousness, weakness, cravings for sugar, insomnia, dizziness, headaches, reduced stamina, irritability, fibromyalgia, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, frequent infections, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression.
