DUTCH Cycle Mapping + Plus™ (Female Only) — FINAL

Description

The DUTCH Cycle Mapping + Plus™ is the most comprehensive hormone test for cycling women, combining full-cycle hormone tracking, hormone metabolism analysis, adrenal function, and the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR).

This advanced test provides a complete view of how hormones fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, how they are metabolized, and how the body responds to stress — helping uncover root causes of complex hormonal symptoms.

What This Test Measures

Cycle Mapping (Full Menstrual Cycle)

• Estrogen (E1, E2) patterns across the cycle
• Progesterone metabolites (α & β-pregnanediol)
• Ovulatory and luteal phase hormone trends

Hormone Metabolism

• Estrogen pathways (2-OH, 4-OH, 16-OH)
• Methylation markers
• Androgens (testosterone, DHEA, DHT)

Adrenal Function

• Diurnal cortisol rhythm
• Cortisol metabolites (total production)
• DHEA-S

Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR)

• Cortisol levels at waking, +30 min, +60 min

Organic Acid Markers (OATs)

• Oxidative stress (8-OHdG)
• Melatonin (6-OHMS)
• Vitamin B12 (methylmalonate)
• Vitamin B6 markers (xanthurenate, kynurenate)
• Neurotransmitters (dopamine, norepinephrine)

This test evaluates 35+ hormones, metabolites, and functional biomarkers in a single panel.

What You Learn

• Complete hormonal rhythm across the menstrual cycle
• Whether ovulation and progesterone production are optimal
• Estrogen metabolism and detoxification pathways
• Impact of stress on hormone balance
• Adrenal function and cortisol patterns
• Morning stress response and resilience (CAR)
• Nutritional, oxidative stress, and neurotransmitter status

Graph-based reports provide a visual representation of hormone fluctuations across the cycle, offering insights beyond single-day testing.

Who Should Consider This Test

• PCOS or irregular menstrual cycles
• Fertility concerns or hormone optimization
• Monthly migraines or PMS/PMDD
• Chronic fatigue, burnout, or stress-related issues
• Complex or long-standing hormonal imbalances

Sample Collection

• Daily first-morning urine samples across the cycle
• 4 additional urine samples on final day
• 5–6 saliva samples for CAR measurement

Why Choose DUTCH Over Other Tests?

Blood Testing

• Single-point measurement

Saliva Testing

• Limited metabolic insight

DUTCH Testing

• Measures hormones, metabolism, cycle patterns, and stress response together
