Food Sensitivity Testing
Food sensitivities are recognized to be correlated with many chronic health conditions, such as IBS, eczema, fatigue, and others - but with proper identification and elimination of offending foods, many experience relief from their symptoms. Our IgG, IgG4, and IgA antibody assessment panels can serve as useful tools in the identification of trigger foods in individuals.
We offer a comprehensive 240 food panel, as well as 144- and 96-food panels to assess IgG, IgG4, and IgA antibody response to common foods. Our 96-food panels are offered in five variations, including a General panel and specialized panels to identify allergens found in typical Asian, Japanese, Mexican, or Vegetarian diets.

Food Allergy Testing
With reactions ranging in severity from mild to life-threatening, accurate identification of IgE-mediated food allergies is critical. We offer serum-specific IgE testing of 27, 50, and 96 foods, and Microtainer blood collection IgE test for 158 to 295 Foods and Inhalants so you can choose the panel that best suits your needs. These tests can be ordered independently or bundled with any IgG/IgG4/IgA food panels for more comprehensive information.
We also offer a comprehensive IgE panel the measures the cross-reactivity in 295 foods and inhalants.
We run our IgE panels on an FDA-approved immunoassay analyzer that utilizes enzyme-amplified chemiluminescence technology. Chemiluminescence provides lower detection limits than conventional ELISA, making it particularly suitable for IgE detection.

Inhalant/Aeroallergen Testing
Pollens and spores from trees, grasses, mold, dust, and others can produce symptoms that range from minor to severe in affected individuals. Our inhalant panels assess IgG, IgG4, and IgA antibody response to 48 common allergens, and IgE response to 140 allergens, providing helpful information for effective allergy management. A 15-Mold panel for IgE testing is also offered.
We also offer a comprehensive IgE panel the measures the cross-reactivity in 295 foods and inhalants.
See our tests:
Total IgE
Our Total IgE test is useful on its own or in combination with an IgG, IgG4, or IgA antibody assessment as an overall indicator of IgE levels. Elevated levels of the antibody has been tied to allergic response. This measurement is included in all IgE food and aeroallergen panels.
Candida
Our Candida panel analyzes Candida antigen and IgG, IgA, and IgM antibodies specific to Candida to help identify an overgrowth of the fungus, suspected to be the underlying cause of a number of symptoms. We offer a full Candida panel, or single antibody testing of IgG and IgA as an add-on to our food panels.
Celiac
With increased awareness of celiac disease and gluten intolerance, there is growing interested in Celiac testing. Our panel measures for serum tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA & IgG, in addition to IgA and IgG antibodies specific for deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP), which can help to assess the condition.
Environmental Pollutants Testing
Unfortunately, pollutants and chemicals are commonplace in our air, water, and food, and in many of the products we use. Long-term exposure to these toxins is known or suspected to have serious health consequences. Our Environmental Pollutants Profile provides a quantitative measurement of 14 select metabolites that can help define an individual's toxic burden and provide valuable information for a targeted nutritional and detoxification intervention.
Organic Acids Testing
Vitamin deficiencies and imbalances may produce a range of health issues, including fatigue, mood changes, digestive problems, and others. Our comprehensive urinary metabolic profile measures 36 organic acids to create a unique patient biochemistry profile that reflects how well the body is obtaining and utilizing nutrients. A customized diet and lifestyle plan can then be established to address to specific nutritional needs.
Vitamin Testing
Vitamin D is crucial for bone strength and may have implications on other medical conditions including osteoporosis, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Our test measures the levels of vitamin D (total, 25-hydroxy D2 and D3) in the blood, utilizing either a serum sample or our dried blood spot card, allowing for easy finger stick collection. This test is great as an add-on to our food sensitivity and allergy tests!

Thyroid Testing
Thyroid dysfunction can have many manifestations, etiologies, and widespread implications for the body and overall health. Proper identification of potential improper thyroid gland function is vital to the diagnoses of thyroid disorders, determining treatment plans, avoiding further health complications, and effectively monitoring and managing symptoms to get patients on track for better overall health.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)
Sexually transmitted infections can have major impacts on a patient's reproductive and general health. Our Comprehensive STD Plus Panel tests for the 10 most pervasive STDs in the US providing your patients a complete view of their sexual health.
