Key features

• •WHAT IS AN INTOLERANCE / SENSITIVITY? Intolerances and sensitivities are a result of your body not being able to process certain food or environmental items properly, often causing discomfort symptoms, such as acne, digestive issues, joint pain and migraines. It's important to understand that intolerances differ from allergies, as allergic reactions stem from an immune system response whereas intolerances are developed over time and do not involve the immune system.
• •OVER 800+ ITEMS TESTED. Our comprehensive intolerance test will check for sensitivities across 640+ food items including grains, fruits, vegetables, gluten, and preservatives. It also tests for sensitivities across 190+ environmental items including pollen, plants, animal dander, and even cleaning solutions.
• •EASY TESTING PROCESS. You can easily carry out the entire testing process from the comfort of your home! (1) Register the kit online (2) Collect hair samples (3) Send back to 5Strands (4) Receive testing results via the customer portal within 5-7 days of your sample's arrival.

• •ENSURING YOUR SUCCESS. We highly recommend that you go through this process with an open mind and ask us as many questions as you need to be fully clarified! Most importantly, it's crucial to be proactive with your results and give the process ample time to take effect as intolerances usually take weeks or months to develop and will not reverse overnight.
• •HOW TO USE YOUR RESULTS. Your test results will identify specific food and environmental items that your body may have a mild, moderate, or severe intolerance to. Once you receive your results, it's important to consistently eliminate these items from your diet or lifestyle over the recommended 6-8 week timeline to allow your body ample time to heal and rebalance itself.
