5Strands Vitamin & Mineral Imbalance Test, 150 Items Tested

Living in an allopathic-dense area and not wanting to pay an exorbitant price for a blood test that may or may not give accurate results, I decided I would try this product. And I must say, I am amazed. All areas were screened; amino acids, vitamins, minerals, even elements such as strontium. The only thing I wish was different is the graph that is used. While the highly lacking areas did show up first, as compared to normal, etc., I would have appreciated a number to give me an idea of the exact amount. A color bar doesn't always work for me.

Going to the doctors for lightheadedness, everything kept coming back fine other than my low red blood count. I had all of the symptoms of b12 deficiency, including the grey hair. Having gut issues my body wasn’t absorbing the nutrients I needed. This test confirmed my vitamin deficiencies I knew I had. I don’t trust bloodwork’s especially since my local hospital changed what is now normal for results, and other hospitals each have their own differences in analyzing blood. Nothing is full proof but this test definitely helped me and feel better.

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 the 5Strand hair analysis to help address some concerns I have. I got the results back in a timely manner and today did a consultation with Stacey. She went over my test and suggestions on what do do moving forward. She was so easy to talk to and very helpful! I am going to do a food sensitivity test as she recommended and will go from there. I would highly recommend this test and the consultation and I believe it would very beneficial. Stacy went out of her way to call me since I was not sure on how to do a Zoom meeting.

Quick, painless sample, and the final report showed me exactly where my body was struggling to absorb nutrients. It made it incredibly simple to tweak what I pack in my cooler for long trips.

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.

Removes the guesswork from my diet. You simply collect a small hair sample and mail it back to get a detailed breakdown of any absorption issues. The data sheet gives a clear blueprint to change up meal prep for better stomach comfort.

The process to collect and submit a sample could not have been much easier. I downloaded the app and results updated on there automatically once they were available. It took about a week from the time I mailed it. The results indicated a lot of items that I needed to address which could be causing symptoms and I have currently restricted my diet and waiting to try adding them back. The whole experience has been easy and straight forward and provided a lot of insight into potentially problematic things I was not considering in my diet/environment. Highly recommend as a starting point if your overhauling your diet to eat healthy to make sure the foods/supplements you choose are a good fit for you individually.

Amazing product. Purchased every year. Best gift for family members.

Bought this kit October 2023 still have not received any information or results from my kit

Well worth the purchase

En ce qui me concerne décue, je savais déja que plusieurs produits je réagissais et il n'ont pas ressortis dans les intolérances en rouge ni en jaune. Pour moi, en tout cas, pas concluant. Ca c'est seulement mon opinion personnel. Pour cette raison je donne 3 étoiles, parce que je croyais que mes intolérances connues allait ressortir dans le test.
