Review: Confirmed deficiencies doctors ignored - 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.
Review: Fixing my energy - 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.

## Features

- IDENTIFY KEY VITAMINS & MINERALS YOU MAY NOT BE PROPERLY ABSORBING. When your body isn’t properly absorbing the key vitamins and minerals from your diet, nutrient imbalances can occur. If they’re 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 sample’s 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.
- HOW OUR TESTING WORKS. 1) Register your test online or in the 5Strands app. 2) Collect 10 to 15 strands of hair. 3) Mail your sample to our certified lab using the included prepaid envelope. Once the lab receives it, your results are delivered to your email and mobile dashboard within 4 days. No blood draw, no office visits, or extra fees.
- CLEAR ANSWERS TO MAKE TARGETED DIET ADJUSTMENTS. Your hair analysis report organizes each nutrient into 4 response levels so you know which vitamins or minerals your body may have the most trouble absorbing. Use your results to adjust food choices and supplements to support better absorption and improve energy levels, skin hydration, hair and nail strength, and mental clarity.
- INDEPENDENTLY VALIDATED & DOUBLE-SCAN LAB PROCESS. Backed by third-party research and analyzed twice in a certified U.S. lab for accuracy, 5Strands is trusted by more than 345,000 customers and pets to uncover nutritional imbalances affecting daily performance, skin and hair health, and overall wellbeing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this check mercury levels?**
A: No.  I ended up getting a full blood work from my dr. This test is very off.

**Q: Does this work on bleached hair?**
A: I believe so.

**Q: How much hair is needed?**
A: Not a lot, to give an example my husband is bald so we just cut some of chest hair, maybe 10/15 and was enough to do the test

**Q: Does it test only for deficiencies or does it also show if we have too much of a certain nutrient?**
A: The test is worthless

### ⭐ Not Very Accurate..
*by R***U on February 18, 2025*

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.
