How to burn $500 on a bad test
One of the problematic things about the Dutch test is that there are no actual reviews online - just website hype, ads, and social media heresay. Regretfully, this first review is negative.
After plunking down $500 for the test, the results I got were ridiculous. Levels were basically at the 5th percentile indicating a host of mood, body, and autoimmune problems that I don't have. Crosschecking with serum tests (by relative percentile, not values) also showed this. The results were just wrong; I suspect the issue was I had hydrated too much, which is possible since there's no way to squeeze out 5 samples on only two cups of water in a day. But the Dutch customer service refused to discuss and insisted I pay another $300-400 to speak with a Dutch approved doctor. Multiple attempts to discuss were shut down.
Did you know that most endocrinologists think this test is unreliable? That's what I discovered as I looked for an unaffiliated, unbiased doctor to speak with. Anyway, no refund, no results, and $500 in the red. The good news is now you know and my partner thankfully didn't get another order for themselves too.
