- IDENTIFY KEY VITAMINS & MINERALS YOU MAY NOT BE PROPERLY ABSORBING. When your body isnt properly absorbing the key vitamins and minerals from your diet, nutrient imbalances can occur. If theyre left unchecked, symptoms like low energy, brittle nails, dry skin, hair shedding, and fatigue can develop. This test identifies the specific nutrients that may need diet adjustments to support better absorption.
- TESTS 112 VITAMINS, MINERALS & TRACE ELEMENTS. Our nutrition test analyzes your hair samples response across Vitamins A, B-Complex, C, D, E, K, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, Selenium, Trace Minerals, Essential Amino Acids, plus Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.

The test were done on 3 categories: food, nutrients, and environmental. In each test the aim is to list those items that may cause harm to our bodies. The items are ranked into 3 levels from highest intolerance (to avoid for 60 days) to the lowest (15 days) plus a normal level that it’s ok to consume or be exposed to. I love to drink tea an feel good after drinking it and naturally it’s at the normal level. I love cheese too but I often had that funny feel in my stomach after eating it. Cheese is categorized as level 3 red in this test. Another example is rubber, I can’t take the smell, long exposure makes me nausea. As expected it’s a red level 3 in environmental test. The results are very comprehensive and they offer a good reference points on what to avoid to have a healthier and better life. I believe we can always live better. The test is easy, just purchase the kit and send 15 strands of your hair. It’s non-evasive at all. And for less than $100 I think this test is a steal.

Proven accurate at least for me. I wanted a comparison to find an economical accurate nutrition test that I could do twice yearly, to avoid wasting money on supplements I may not need. At the same time as this test, I took my usual $500 Spectracell cellular micronutrient test, which tests nutrients in the cell, rather than just in the blood. Was amazed when this test at less than 1/5 of the price, came back with results almost identical. Shipping was fast, results fast, no lab visit required and their customer service was very good. I am sold, twice a year for me - no more blood draws!

I was so excited about this test. I was feeling not the best and am currently going through menopause. I got the results after taking this test and loved the app etc. it seems very informative. I also happened to get bloodwork done at my Dr’s request. My results showed a severe vit d deficiency. But the 5Strands test showed no issues at all with this vit. Very disappointed and feel like it was a waste of money. I will go to the dr from now on for health information moving forward. I would like to say though that this brand has an amazing dog allergy test that changed my dogs life! It indicated all of his allergies and we changed his food and all his issues cleared up.

I ordered two different tests and received them promptly. It was easy to do and the results are very interesting. I am not sure about some, but others I know are pretty accurate. The tests give me a good guideline for better health, and I am glad I purchased them. Thank you.

Best purchase on amazon cant stress how much this helped, it did tell me supplements i needed n foods i can get it from. Some made sense since i dont like archichoves n things like that. Great buy will repurchase n check myself at a later time.

Let me be clear it is a good product and it was easy to use and the results are helpful. This is not a vitamin and mineral test for finding out the amount of vitamins and minerals in your body, it is a test for what vitamins and minerals your body has a hard time absorbing. Just felt a little misled by the other reviews I saw saying they were deficient or not in certain minerals, this will not tell you it you are deficient it will just show which you absorb easily and which you don’t absorb easily. (This is because only a blood test can test what you are actually deficient in) However, this is useful and I will be cross referencing with a blood test if this accurately predicted vitamins and minerals that I have a hard time absorbing are also what I am in fact deficient in. (Felt misled and made me think some reviews aren’t real because other users specifically said they were measuring deficiency. Maybe they just misunderstood the results. Maybe I also made a mistake, so if the business reaches out to me and explains it I will change my review to 4 stars because I did have a good experience overall and I own a business myself and know my customers misunderstand things I say all the time)

List was impressive, and the fact that you can sort it different ways helps find your problem items quickly. I am uncertain of its accuracy because I did not notice any change in my body eating per its recommendations.

All my life I was always conscious of what I ate and also took my multivitamins. I had no idea that my multivitamins weren’t really helping! It shocked me to learn that for some reason, my body wasn’t absorbing magnesium very well. And guess what, my multivitamin barely gave me the amount of magnesium that I needed! And when I researched foods, it was in most everything that I ate, but still no where enough what I needed to take daily. So I immediately bought a magnesium supplement…and believe me…I have never felt better! Who knew that I was low in magnesium probably my whole life. Now I’ve taken blood tests before, annually, when I see my doctor. Honestly, everything was excellent…. So lo and behold, being magnesium deficient was all I was. I am so glad that I found out. Now I want me whole family to try this, too! Everyone is built differently, so you really have to customize your diet in a way to truly be healthy. And this test was so quick and easy to do! Hope this can help others, too!
