DUTCH TEST
Go deeper than standard hormone tests
DUTCH
test
Comprehensive hormone mapping
30+ markers
The DUTCH doesn’t just measure hormone levels, it shows how your body is producing, using and clearing them, giving a more comprehensive picture than standard blood tests alone.
Find out if the DUTCH is right next step for you.
When ‘normal’ results don’t reflect how you feel
If you’ve been struggling with hormone-related symptoms such as weight changes, fatigue, acne, brain fog, mood swings or poor sleep, the DUTCH test can provide fresh answers, even if you’ve previously been told your hormone levels are ‘normal’.
For many women, it’s the first time their symptoms actually start to make sense.
A more complete picture of your hormones
Most hormone tests measure one blood sample at specific moment in time. The DUTCH test goes much further, analysing dried urine samples collected across the day to show not just hormone levels, but how your body is metabolising them too. That metabolic insight often explains symptoms that standard testing can't.
The test measures 35+ hormonal markers and is completed at home using a simple collection kit that's delivered directly to you.
Sex hormones & metabolites
Oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone - plus how your body is breaking them down and clearing them.
Stress & adrenal health
Your cortisol rhythm across the day, helping explain issues with stress, sleep, burnout and energy.
Nutritional & metabolic markers
Including B12, B6, glutathione and markers linked to gut and metabolic health.
Sleep & circadian rhythm
Melatonin, your sleep hormone, measured alongside cortisol to assess your sleep-wake cycle.
Take the guesswork out of women’s health conditions
“For many of our clients, the DUTCH test is the first time they get a clear explanation for symptoms they’ve been managing - or being told to accept - for years. It helps us build personalised plans based on what’s actually driving symptoms, rather than trying to manage them blindly.”
- Flora Budenberg, Peach Founder
THE DUTCH CAN HELP CREATE CLARITY FOR:
Perimenopause & menopause
When your body feels different but blood tests don’t give clear answers. Especially useful during perimenopause, when hormones fluctuate too much for a single blood test to capture the full picture.
Fertility struggles
For women trying to conceive who want a clearer picture of hormone health and ovulation patterns.
PCOS, endometriosis & fibroids
For women struggling with painful, irregular or difficult periods who want a clearer understanding of the hormonal patterns driving symptoms.
Women using HRT
To understand how your body is responding to and metabolising HRT - not just your hormone levels on paper.
PMS & PMDD
When mood changes, anxiety, irritability or exhaustion around your cycle feel disruptive - and you want to understand what’s happening hormonally.
‘Normal’ blood work but ongoing symptoms
When something doesn’t feel right, despite being told everything looks ‘normal’.
“I had been suffering with that debilitating fatigue and brain fog for years. I really have you to thank for getting me my life back!”

Find the right next step
The DUTCH test can provide incredibly valuable insights, but only when it's used in the right context. Not every set of hormone symptoms need the DUTCH, and part of what our practitioners do is make sure you’re investing in testing that’s actually going to give meaningful answers.
If the DUTCH test is right for you, we handle everything directly through Peach - including access to preferential pricing through our partner labs, so you're not paying more than you need to.
The DUTCH test is available to Peach clients for £245.
Your top questions, answered
-
A standard NHS or private blood test measures your hormone levels at a single moment in time. This can be useful, but it only tells part of the story.
With hormones, levels alone aren't enough. We need to understand three things: what your levels are, how your body is using those hormones, and whether they're being detoxified and cleared effectively. A blood test covers the first. The DUTCH test covers all three.
For example, you might have normal oestrogen levels on a blood test, but the DUTCH test could reveal that your oestrogen is being metabolised through a pathway associated with increased inflammation or other health risks. That's clinically important information - and it's invisible to blood work.
-
No, the DUTCH test is not currently available through the NHS. It can only be ordered through a private practitioner.
-
You collect four or five small urine samples on filter paper over a 24-hour period at home. It's simple, non-invasive, and there are no needles or clinic visits. The dried samples are stable and easy to post back to the lab.
-
Results typically take three to four weeks from when the lab receives your samples. Once ready, your practitioner will book a session to review your results with you in detail.
