5Strands Food Intolerance, Environmental Sensitivity & Nutritional Imbalance Test, 1052 Items Tested, Gut Health & Nutrition Absorption Testing for Adults & Kids, Results in 4 Days

I initially bought two tests that I thought were different, but a customer service rep reached out to me to let me know that were very similar and asked if I would like a refund for one of them or to substitute the test for something else that covered things not included on my initial order. I found this to be so honest and refreshing. I was very grateful to hear from them on the front end and I substituted a test. My test results were fast and easy to decipher. Having the app is a really nice bonus as well. Would recommend this company to others!

Extensive information with so many items tested!! Seemed to receive results fast which was good. I disliked how the test results came though some of it is a bit confusing even after reading faqs and watching video. Why are there items in food that would never be ingested anyways? Ie: chicken droppings. Great at helping with skin issues in our LO.

This company is awesome! The process is simple, easy and quick. They send you the test box. Inside is an instruction sheet and “Get to Know You” questionnaire. 5Strands asks you to provide hair strands, then put them in the provided sealable ziploc bag. Lastly, you are given an envelope to send your results back in through USPS. That’s it! Not invasive at all like allergy testing can be! I had my results in a week and it was very easy to understand how to read my results! 5Strands had made it clear what they can help you with. I think where most customers misinterpret their data is thinking that these intolerance symptoms are comparable to allergy symptoms. That is not correct and 5Strands makes sure to state that multiple times! This test is meant to give you awareness of your body chemistry and how it reacts to environmental and food properties that you come in contact with. Although you may see Salmon on your Level 3 results (most severe) and “feel nothing” when you are eating salmon... it could still be causing unseen symptoms, like bloating or gas that you may not notice! Others also notice the same food in multiple categories.. well foods can be consumed in different forms (raw & cooked). I have noticed that raw onions make me way more gassy than cooked onions and it showed up right in my results!! On day one I have already cut out a couple foods that I would normally eat and I have had a dramatic increase in energy and comfort! I can’t thank this company enough!! Way to go, 5Strands!

Was excited to try this. Multiple foods that have never bothered me showed as "RED" and there were lots of contradicting results. "Oats" are RED but "Oat milk" is fine? "Lactose" is RED but "Cows milk" is fine? I am extremely allergic to horses and dog saliva but the results came back as fine too. I excepted some surprises but every single protein except for beef came back as red. There must be some mistake.

Didn’t feel the results were super accurate. :( things that affect me werent listed on my results
