A food intolerance test's results include all items that have shown a score of 85% and higher. After completing thousands of tests, we now know that 85% is the turning point where symptoms begin to develop into an intolerance.

Always consult a healthcare professional before making any decisions based on these test results.

To increase your quality of life, you should, over a period of 6–8 weeks, completely exclude the items your body is intolerant to. During this time, your body will get the peace and quiet it needs to repair itself.

Consider seeking advice from a healthcare professional before eliminating any foods from your diet.

After the 6–8 week exclusion period, you can gradually and in small increments reintroduce the items to see if there is any reaction.

It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before reintroducing any foods into your diet.

In addition to being less invasive and significantly cheaper, your last meal may affect the results of a blood sample, whereas a hair sample has the information stored for a longer period and reflects a wider time frame.

Please consult a healthcare professional before deciding on the appropriate testing method for your needs.

Ask someone to help you. First, brush your hair upwards to get easy access to the hair roots and the back of your head. Hold a small amount of hair between your finger and thumb, and cut the hair as close to the scalp as possible (without pulling any blood). If you do not have someone who can help you, please use a mirror to avoid accidentally hurting yourself.

You might want to consult a healthcare professional for guidance on proper sample collection.

Only a small amount; 5 individual strands. We don’t require clumps of hair.

It is recommended to seek advice from a healthcare professional before proceeding with the test.

There is quite a big difference between being allergic, intolerant, or hypersensitive to a substance however, the symptoms often resemble each other. For those who get ill from their diet, it may feel equally bad. Our test results will shed a light on what intolerances you might have, in other words, which ingredients to avoid. An intolerance may pass after a period of time, while an allergy lasts for life.

Consider consulting a healthcare professional to understand your specific health needs.

Unfortunately, we don’t recommend the test for anyone below the age of 6. Younger children have not yet built up their tolerance levels, and this can give false results in the lab.

Please seek advice from a healthcare professional before testing children.
