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.
How do I purchase an intolerance test from you?
Tests can be easily ordered on our website. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to email us.

I was expecting a kit through the post but never received one ? Chased on live chat to be told that no kit is sent out as all instructions are in the email sent after purchase. So I have taken my sample and sent it off to them.

I’ve been thinking about taking a test for ages but was worried about giving blood as I am shit scared of needles!! Found this test and was delighted to hear that it was a hair test ( so no needles ). I took my sample and sent it in. I got my results quickly and found that I have a wheat intolerance ? wow? So going to stay off bread and see what happens. Thank you x x

Got test for family of 4, I couldn’t believe how cheap it was, its incredible value for money and well worth it
Amanda –
Since looking at the foods I was intolerant to I decided to cut everything out. I have had horrible stomach problems I have put up with since i was a young child. Since cutting out the foods I have not suffered once and although it is hard to not eat all my favourite things it has been well worth it and I am actually loving eating again. I’m now eating breakfast where as before I was honestly too scared to eat until later in the day as I knew I would be in pain for the day. It did start to put me off eating. I don’t feel so tired anymore either and can think much clearer at work in the day. This has really turned my life around and wish it could have been something I could have had done years ago.
I cannot thank you enough.

Excellent customer service. I was really desperate as I had some health issues and after I did the test and started to avoid food items I am intolerant , I feel much better now. Thank you 😊

Sarah –
Amazing price !! Thought it must be a scam at that price , but results showed my known intolerance to milk and loads more
Danny –
My results took 9 days to come back, and were emailed to me on a Saturday, so I was very pleased with the speed of the service. One of the items that came back as an intolerance (quite a severe one) was olive oil, which surprised me. I cut it out and within a day my post nasal drip had vanished along with an irritating cough and my runny nose. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone who is struggling with irritating symptoms such as random coughs, constant allergy symptoms all year round. Now that I know it’s caused by food intolerances and I’ve cut stuff out, I feel totally different, like a whole new me
