read moreTest code: HEPP The body continually attempts to eliminate chemical toxins through enzymatic processes in the liver. Urinary D-glucaric acid, a by-product of Phase I detoxification, is an indicator of chemical exposure to over 200 chemicals. Urinary mercapturic acids are excreted end products of Phase II detoxification. Together, assessment of these two analytes provides valuable…
read moreMinerals and toxic elements deposited in growing hair correlate with those in the blood supply to the scalp. Analysing the 5cm of hair cut close to the scalp provides a reliable analysis of average circulating blood levels of essential minerals and toxic elements during the hair growth period (typically 2-3 months). These levels can be…

read moreIndications IgE-mediated allergies, also known as hypersensitivity reactions, occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies a harmless substance, known as an allergen, as a threat. In response to this perceived threat, the immune system produces IgE antibodies which triggers the release of histamine and other chemicals from mast cells. These chemicals cause the various symptoms…
read moreOver the past two decades there has been sustained interest in essential fatty acid supplementation. The focus has now switched from supplementation with fish oil to the use of oils containing specific, enhanced concentrations of named essential fatty acids. In the late 1990s large clinical trials were published supporting the cardiovascular benefits of consumption of…

read moreEndomysial antibodies are a type of immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody found in the blood of individuals with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption. These antibodies target tissue transglutaminase (tTG), an enzyme involved in protein modification within the connective tissue known as the endomysium, which surrounds smooth muscle cells in various organs, including…
read moreCalprotectin is a protein complex found in neutrophils and macrophages, two types of white blood cells that play a crucial role in the immune system. It is a highly stable protein that is resistant to degradation, making it a valuable biomarker for inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. The primary function of calprotectin is to protect…
