Any value in the DUTCH TEST?

[Grrrr]

Would this test show anything useful?

they offer 2 tests for males
a full hormone panel, its a 24hr dried urine test, you take 4-5 samples a day (one at night)

DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is an utter and complete waste of time and money. Expensive and of no value. You can obtain accurate results at a fraction of the cost at discountedlabs.com or any other self-testing service.

For adrenal function, the four-point saliva collection is accurate. Slightly less comprehensive is the morning/evening blood draw, though it is less expensive. Have you had any lab work that offers any insight into these particular areas?

my cortisol AM was high and my DHEAS was low.... since the cortisol 4x salvia is an accurate method, i'll order that instead of the DUTCH TEST
thanks, you saved me a few hundred.
