IMPORTANT:
Choosing the Right DUTCH Test If You’re on Birth Control or Hormone Therapy
If you are currently using hormonal birth control or hormone replacement therapy (HRT), here’s how to choose the correct DUTCH test:
👉 If you’re on hormonal birth control:
(pill, patch, ring, implant, or hormonal IUD)
Choose the DUTCH Complete.
Hormonal birth control suppresses natural ovulation, which makes the cortisol-awakening portion of the DUTCH Plus less meaningful. The DUTCH Complete still gives excellent insight into hormone metabolism, detox pathways, and adrenal patterns.
👉 If you’re on hormone replacement therapy (HRT):
(estrogen, progesterone, testosterone via creams, patches, pills, or pellets)
Choose the DUTCH Complete.
This version provides accurate evaluation of hormone metabolism, stress hormones, and detox pathways even while on HRT.
👉 If your main concern is extreme fatigue, burnout, trauma physiology, or morning cortisol spikes/crashes:
You may consider the DUTCH Plus for the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR).
If you’re unsure, simply reach out and we’ll guide you to the right choice.
