Advantages of the Food Intolerance Test

There are countless different food allergies and food intolerances and almost as many tests to get to the bottom of them. Do you have unanswered discomfort or pain and do not know where to start? Then the cerascreen^® Food Reaction Test will offer you a helpful initial orientation.

Food intolerances or allergies can not only be responsible for gastrointestinal complaints. They often manifest themselves through symptoms such as tiredness, skin irritation and a burning sensation in the oral cavity. Without a food intolerance test, it is often difficult to identify the causes of such symptoms in everyday life. Want to gain more insights into the differences between a food allergy and intolerance? Visit our Health Portal for all you need to know about this trending topic.

This cerascreen^®Food Intolerance Test & Food Allergy Test measures the concentration of specific IgE antibodies to 26 different foods and the concentration of specific IgG4 antibodies to 38 different foods. The test thus covers the foods that are responsible for a large proportion of food allergies in Europe.

Immune System Test Lymphocyte analysis: B, NK and T cell test

How is your immune system doing? The cerascreen^®Immune System Test measures the number of five different types of lymphocytes in your blood. Lymphocytes are a subgroup of white blood cells and play an important role in the immune system. Doctors analyse lymphocytes as an indication of whether an infection is present.

Such an analysis is particularly of importance within the context of the coronavirus pandemic: studies have identified a possible link between low lymphocyte levels at the start of the infection and the risk of a severe Covid-19 infection.

Food Allergy Test IgE analysis on 38 foods

Are you possibly allergic to food? This question is not always easy to answer. Severe allergy sufferers have often reacted to peanut, soy, fish, etc. with clear symptoms since childhood, but for some people, allergies develop over the course of their lives, and the signs are less clear. In everyday life, however, this can become uncomfortable and restrictive, with symptoms such as skin rashes, gastrointestinal problems or a sore throat.

The cerascreen^®Food Allergy Test helps you investigate such hidden allergies. The send-in blood-sampling kit that you can use at home determines the concentration of specific IgE antibodies in your blood. This analysis provides first indications of a possible food allergy. For a definitive allergy diagnosis, discuss the results with your doctor.

Men’s Health Check

As men get older, testosterone levels begin to decline—starting at the age of 30. Testosterone is the most important male sex hormone.

The hormone testosterone contributes to the following body functions:

Production of red blood cells
Development of male sex organs
Sperm production
Bone growth
Performance
Muscle Growth

Studies have shown that the ‘sunshine vitamin,’ vitamin D can increase your testosterone levels. Therefore you should pay attention to your vitamin D level.

Not only does vitamin D increase testosterone levels, but it also prevents osteoporosis, lowered immunity, muscle pain and poor physical and mental performance.

To ensure male health, vitamin D and testosterone levels should be checked regularly.

DNA Metabolism Test DNA Test For a Genetic Diet

Are you looking for a healthy genetic diet that works just right for you? There is little point in trying out one diet after another. The alternative: a look into your DNA! How strongly you feel hunger and how well your body utilises fat and carbohydrates is determined by your genetic material. Scientists have identified that genes are linked to your metabolism. This allows you to derive your personal DNA diet based on your genes.
The cerascreen® DNA Metabolism Test is a diagnostic sample taking and mail-in test that you can use at the convenience of your own home. Take the DNA Metabolism Test to analyse seven genes that are related to your metabolism, hunger, satiety and fat reduction. From the detailed results report, you will learn which diet and which sport are most compatible with your individual DNA.
