The Array 10-90 panel evaluates immune reactions to 90 of the most commonly consumed raw and/or modified foods, food enzymes, lectins, and artificial food additives tested as part of the Array 10 panel. It can detect dietary-related triggers of autoimmune reactivity and monitor the efficacy of customized dietary protocols.

The DUTCH Plus™ test represents an advanced approach to hormone testing, offering a comprehensive analysis of sex hormones, their metabolites, and the diurnal pattern of free cortisol. It provides insight into the total and distribution of cortisol metabolites while also incorporating the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) to shed light on the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. With analysis of 35 different hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, and cortisol, alongside their metabolites, the DUTCH Plus™ offers a comprehensive overview of hormonal balance. Additionally, it includes DUTCH Extras such as Melatonin (6OHMS) and 8-Hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) for a more thorough assessment of adrenal function and overall hormone health.

The Functional Health Panel for Women offers an in-depth analysis of various health markers crucial for assessing a woman's overall health and well-being. This thorough panel includes tests for vital nutrients such as Vitamin D and magnesium, hormone levels including DHEA-S, estrogen (E2), and thyroid hormones (fT3, fT4), and reproductive hormones like FSH and LH. It also evaluates cardiovascular health indicators such as HDL and LDL particle size and count, inflammation markers like hs-CRP, and important metabolic functions through tests like homocysteine and cortisol levels. Additionally, it checks for autoimmune antibodies such as ANA and Anti-TPO, giving a comprehensive overview of factors that can impact a woman’s health from hormonal balance to nutritional status and immune system health.

The Functional Health Panel for Men offers an extensive evaluation of a man's overall health, designed to provide a detailed insight into numerous key health markers. This comprehensive panel measures a variety of factors including hormone levels like testosterone, thyroid hormones (fT3 and fT4), and cortisol; cardiovascular markers such as LDL and HDL cholesterol particles, homocysteine, and Apo B; nutritional statuses like Vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc; as well as inflammation indicators such as hs-CRP. It also assesses prostate health with PSA testing and provides essential data on iron metabolism, liver function, and more, giving a holistic view of a man’s health to support optimal wellness strategies.

The hsLRA™ tests stand out as the most comprehensive and specific assessments compared to other laboratory tests, offering valuable insights into the hidden causes of many common health concerns. These revolutionary blood tests directly analyze lymphocytes, the body's long-lived, memory-carrying white blood cells crucial for indicating overall health and detecting disease. What sets LRA tests apart is their unique ability to simultaneously measure all three types of delayed sensitivity reactions: lymphocyte activation, reactive antibody responses (including IgA, IgM, and IgG), immune complexes, and T cell direct activation. This comprehensive approach provides healthcare providers with a thorough understanding of immune system reactivity and aids in crafting tailored treatment strategies for patients.

The MTHFR test is a genetic test that identifies variations in the MTHFR gene. These variations can affect how well your body processes folate and folic acid, which are essential for DNA synthesis and repair. Understanding your MTHFR gene status can help tailor nutritional recommendations and determine the need for specific supplements to support your metabolic and overall health.

The SpectraCell Micronutrient Test comprehensively analyzes over 30 essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients within the body. This detailed assessment identifies nutritional deficiencies and examines the functional performance of these micronutrients, providing insights into how effectively your body is utilizing them. It's an invaluable tool for anyone looking to optimize their health through tailored nutritional strategies. Please note that this test is not recommended for patients under the age of 12.

The Vibrant Mycotoxins test offers a comprehensive assessment of 31 common mycotoxins present in molds that humans may be exposed to, using a urine-based assay on a proprietary microarray platform. This highly accurate testing method provides valuable insights into the presence of these elusive toxins, which can lead to serious health conditions in individuals, particularly those living or working in older buildings, water-damaged environments, or with compromised immune systems and heightened oxidative stress levels. Mycotoxins pose significant health risks, potentially contributing to autoimmune diseases and cancer, making early detection and intervention crucial.

The Vibrant Gut ZoomerTM is a cutting-edge test that delves deep into the gut microbiome, analyzing microorganism 16sRNA from a stool sample to assess the relative abundance of bacteria, candida yeast, parasites, and viruses compared to a reference range. With over 1000 species of bacteria residing in the large intestine, the gut microbiome plays crucial roles in immune system modulation, nutrient metabolism, and maintaining the intestinal mucosal barrier. Imbalances in the gut microbiome can lead to various gastrointestinal symptoms, skin conditions, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory conditions. The comprehensive report generated by the Vibrant Gut ZoomerTM provides actionable insights and recommendations tailored to the individual's specific microbial profile, including potential risks for intestinal permeability, intestinal disorders, heart health, autoimmune disorders, metabolic disorders, and nutritional deficiencies. This test offers a comprehensive analysis of the gut microbiome ecosystem, aiding in the understanding of its connection to disease and inflammation and providing personalized dietary and supplementation recommendations to support gut health and overall well-being.

The Vibrant Health Wheat Zoomer test is a comprehensive blood test designed to screen for both leaky gut and wheat sensitivity, offering precise identification of affected individuals. With the increasing recognition of gluten and wheat sensitivity in the medical community, there is a growing demand for accurate and highly sensitive testing methods. The Wheat ZoomerTM addresses this need by specifically detecting antibodies to wheat peptides, including gluten and non-gluten components, as well as antibodies indicating the presence of leaky gut. Additionally, it utilizes a highly sensitive peptide-based array to detect autoimmune reactions to gluten, providing detailed insights into a patient's immune response to wheat. For specific details, please refer to the attached documents.
