5Strands Affordable Testing offers 4 different types of tests for people & pets: (1) Food Intolerances 600 Items (2) Environmental Intolerances 190 Items (3) Nutritional Deficiency 80 Items (4) Metal & Mineral Imbalances 60 Items. Our easy 4 step process provides you with a road map on how to achieve your desired dietary & lifestyle adjustments.

5Strands chooses a hair sample collection method and utilizes bioresonance technology to identify temporary imbalances causing symptoms such as upset stomach, headaches, bloating, joint pain, & water retention. 5Strands does not provide testing for IgE or IgG mediated responses (true allergy involving the immune system causing anaphylaxis response).

You will receive a comprehensive elimination guideline of food intolerances (this includes key proteins, grains, fruits, vegetables, sweeteners, preservatives, gluten, lactose, etc.) and environmental intolerances (cleaning materials, fabrics, pollen, trees, lotions). The results will show only the items you registered an imbalance to upon exposure. That exposure is placed onto a severity scale and provided to you as a level of response your body may be experiencing.

5Strands also provides a Nutritional Deficiency test and a Metals & Minerals test. The Nutrition covers 80 key vitamins, minerals, and amino acids (vitamin b12, d3, calcium, GABA, etc.). The Metals & Minerals test for 60 items (mercury, boron, tin, lead, copper, etc.). This testing provides the severity of the response upon exposure to each item. Unlike traditional testing, it will not provide you with a physical measurement of the amount of the item in your body.

Testing results take 7-10 days after the hair sample is received at the processing center. Our incredible customer support team is accessible via email or phone to assist with any questions along your journey. When you get your emailed results, don’t be overwhelmed, take a deep breath, and be excited to start your journey to better health.
