EndoMAP Advanced Hormone Test
NutriPATH Test Code: 1501
Sample type: At-home dried urine
Turnaround: Approx. 7–10 business days after the lab receives the sample
What is the EndoMAP?
The EndoMAP is NutriPATH’s most advanced dried urine hormone profile. It gives an in-depth picture of how your hormones are produced, metabolised and cleared, as well as key markers of adrenal function, detoxification and environmental exposures.
Rather than looking at just a few hormones in isolation, EndoMAP maps out the four major hormone pathways:
Oestrogens
Progesterone
Androgens (e.g. testosterone, DHEA)
Glucocorticoids (cortisol and cortisone)
This profile is NutriPATH’s equivalent of a DUTCH Advanced panel, combining steroid hormones, metabolites, organic acids and environmental markers into one comprehensive report.
Why this test is so valuable for hormone health
You can frame this section as “Why I use EndoMAP in clinic” or similar.
1. Shows both hormone levels and metabolites
Standard blood or saliva tests often report only 3–5 hormones. EndoMAP reports 35+ markers, including downstream metabolites, showing not just “how much” hormone you make but how your body processes it.
This helps to:
Differentiate oestrogen dominance due to high production vs poor detoxification
Assess protective vs potentially harmful oestrogen metabolites
Understand androgen metabolism (e.g. preference for DHT pathways linked to acne, hair loss, PCOS-type symptoms)
See whether cortisol is being shunted into inactive cortisone or kept in its active form
2. Comprehensive adrenal & stress assessment
Multiple dried urine samples across the day map free cortisol and cortisone rhythm, plus total cortisol output. This gives a much clearer picture of adrenal function and HPA axis stress than a single blood reading.
Useful for clients with:
Fatigue and poor stress tolerance
Sleep issues (e.g. wired at night, flat in the morning)
Anxiety, irritability or “tired but wired” patterns
3. Includes melatonin for sleep and repair
EndoMAP includes melatonin, the key hormone for sleep quality, antioxidant protection and night-time cellular repair. Low or disrupted melatonin can contribute to insomnia, low mood, immune issues and accelerated ageing.
4. Screens for endocrine disruptors & heavy metals
A unique advantage of EndoMAP is the inclusion of environmental and toxicant markers such as:
BPA (Bisphenol A) – a well-known endocrine disruptor
Heavy metals like aluminium, arsenic and others that can impact hormone receptors, fertility and metabolic health
This helps link stubborn hormone symptoms with hidden environmental drivers.
5. Organic acids & metabolic markers
The profile also includes selected organic acids, which give insight into:
Detoxification capacity and oxidative stress (e.g. 8-OHdG)
Inflammation and metabolic stress
Certain nutrient needs (e.g. B-vitamins involved in hormone metabolism)
6. Ideal for complex or treatment-resistant cases
Because EndoMAP brings together sex hormones, adrenal function, detox and environmental factors, it’s especially helpful when:
Symptoms don’t match basic blood tests
Women are on or considering HRT or bioidentical hormones and need safe monitoring
There’s a history of fertility issues, recurrent miscarriage, endometriosis, PCOS, peri-menopausal symptoms or mood disorders
There’s suspected burden from plastics, pesticides, or heavy metals impacting hormonal balance
What the EndoMAP measures (overview)
You can frame this section as “Why I use EndoMAP in clinic” or similar.
Sex hormones & metabolites
Oestrogens: estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), estriol (E3) and numerous 2-, 4- and 16-hydroxy and methoxy metabolites (e.g. 2-OH E1/E2, 4-OH E1/E2, 16α-OH E1, 2-MeO and 4-MeO oestrogen metabolites)
Progesterone: progesterone (serum-equivalent) plus metabolites such as allopregnanolone and allopregnanediol, 20α-dihydroprogesterone and others
Androgens: DHEA, androstenedione, testosterone, DHT and downstream metabolites (e.g. androsterone, etiocholanolone, 5α-3α-androstanediol)
This patterning helps determine:
Oestrogen dominance vs low oestrogen
“Protective” vs “pro-proliferative” pathways
Low progesterone states affecting mood, sleep and PMS
Androgen excess or deficiency contributing to acne, hair loss or low libido
Adrenal hormones
Free cortisol at multiple time points (morning, midday, afternoon, evening)
Cortisone pattern
Total cortisol production
Tetrahydrocortisol, tetrahydrocortisone and other cortisol metabolites
Additional markers
Melatonin (sleep & circadian rhythm)
Oxidative stress & DNA damage marker: 8-OHdG
Organic acid markers related to detoxification and metabolic status
Endocrine disruptors & heavy metals: BPA and selected metals such as aluminium and arsenic

Who is this test suitable for?
You might rephrase this section for your ideal client persona, but clinically it’s indicated for people with:
✅Irregular, heavy or painful periods
✅PMS, PMDD or peri-menopausal symptoms (hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings)
✅Suspected oestrogen dominance or low progesterone
✅Acne, hair thinning, excess facial/body hair or suspected androgen imbalance
✅Low libido, fertility challenges or recurrent miscarriage
✅Fatigue, “burnout,” poor stress tolerance, or feeling “tired but wired”
✅Sleep disturbances, insomnia or night-time waking
✅Unexplained weight gain, difficulty losing weight, or central weight gain
✅History of exposure to plastics, pesticides, heavy metals or other environmental toxins
✅Mood concerns (anxiety, low mood, irritability, brain fog) where hormones and stress may be contributing
It is suitable for both women and men and can often be used while on hormone therapy, with timing and interpretation adjusted by the practitioner.
How the test is taken
Collection method
Type: At-home dried urine test
Kit includes: Filter paper urine collection strips, instructions and reply-paid packaging for the laboratory
Step-by-step overview (you can simplify for your site)
1. Order the test kit
The kit is sent to the client with full written instructions (and a link to video instructions from NutriPATH).
2. Collect multiple samples across one day
The client collects small urine samples onto the filter paper strips at four key times across the day (typically on waking, mid-morning or midday, afternoon and evening; exact times are provided in the kit).
Each strip is allowed to dry completely.
3. Dry and package the strips
Once dry, the strips are placed back into the protective sleeve or envelope included in the kit to preserve sample integrity.
4. Send to the laboratory
The client returns the samples to NutriPATH using the supplied packaging.
5. Laboratory analysis & report
NutriPATH analyses the hormone levels, metabolites, organic acids and environmental markers, and produces a multi-page graphical report showing reference ranges, patterning of hormones and clinical commentary.

Advantages of dried urine collection
Compared with blood or single-timepoint saliva tests, dried urine:
Is non-invasive and easy to do at home
Captures daily hormone rhythm and total metabolite output over the day
Is stable once dried, so samples can be shipped without freezing
Allows simultaneous assessment of hormones, metabolites and organic acids from the same collection
