FAQs
What’s included in my test?
The test includes one intolerance test, one nutritional deficiency test, and one metal test. Your intolerance test 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 allergy/intolerance.
What should I do with my test results?
To increase your quality of life you should, over a period of 4–6 weeks, completely exclude the items your body is intolerant to. During this time your body will get the peace and quiet it needs in order to repair itself. After this period you can either take a new test to be sure your body is “ready” or, gradually and in small increments reintroduce the items to see if there is any reaction. As for the nutrients you may be missing, we recommend that you follow our dietary guidelines and make sure that your body gets the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and strong.
How do your tests compare to blood samples?
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.
How do I take a hair sample?
The safest way to take a hair sample is by asking 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.
How do I submit my hair sample?
When your order is successfully completed, instructions will be sent to your email along with your receipt (i.e. we will not send test kits). Simply take 4–5 hair strands from your scalp, put them in an envelope along with a completed form (instructions are emailed post order).
My hair is dyed. Will this affect the results?
No, we test the composition of the hair sample, so the hair dye will not affect your test results.
How much hair do I need to submit?
Only a small amount; 5 individual strands. We don’t require clumps of hair.
What’s the difference between allergy, hypersensitivity, and intolerance?
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. The devil is known by many names, some might say. 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.
Can children take the test?
Unfortunately, we don’t recommend the test for anyone below the age of 5. Younger children have not yet built up their tolerance levels, and this can give false results in the lab.
Can animals/pets take the test?
Yes, hey can. Pets can suffer from similar intolerances to humans. We offer a Pet Intolerance Test for cats and dogs with 60 checks for common pet food brands, in addition to environmental factors.
Where are the samples tested?
All intolerance tests are processed in the UK. Results are emailed typically within 72 hours upon receipt of your hair sample.

Tests can be easily ordered on our website. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to email us.

Bought this test as I wanted to help my family understand what items they need to avoid. The discount was so good for four people and the form was easy to fill out. I simply had to enclose hair and send it in and the results came through on my email as all of the different forms. Easy and helpful.

A lifestyle change test for the family. The kids were so interested in the results and how certain foods we eat affect us in different way. Would certainly recommend.

Health is really important to our family and we really try and eat sensibly. Unfortunately even these healthy, sensible foods trigger everyday problems. Taking this test has been incredible for our family, all gaining something from it. Plus it doesn’t break the bank with the great discount you are offering. Would definitely use again

Wow! Amazed by these results! My skin has always been problematic and unfortunately my kids suffer the same. I have even had people commenting how good my skin is (it was particularly bad) and to see the childrens skin improve has gained their confidence so much. Not only that, my IBS has improved dramatically and I hardly have it at all. So cost effective and a good, detailed report of results emailed back to you. Love this!!

I have just received our hair analysis results and I am pretty blown away. The instructions are clear, you don’t get a test, simply download the form, fill out everyone’s details and send each sample. I had to contact the team on the live chat twice, both times my enquiries were dealt with quickly and resolved. The report, when received via email (I like this better as can keep referring to it), was detailed and informative. The website lists the things they test against, they make it very clear its not for medical diagnosis, so I feel its good value for money and helps indicate where you may have issues allowing you to make better choices with what you eat. Obviously I wanted the test as a few family members had suspicions of several of the results that came up, so great to have that confirmation plus other things too. This report will only go to on to assist me making better choices in the future for the good of mine and my families health.
