Food Bio-Compatibility Hair Test
Food Bio-Compatibility Hair Test
The food bio-compatibility test is a straight forward, non invasive test that involves taking a small sample of hair and testing it against 500 different food and household items.
Your hair sample is tested to evaluate the positive or negative influences 500 food and product items are having on your cellular function. These results are then used to determine which foods are benefiting your body and which foods should be avoided.
The aim of the test is to focus on the foods that are enhancing cellular function and avoid those that may be compromising cellular function and creating underlying inflammation in the body.
The Hair 500 test may be useful for:
- Digestive issues such as diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, reflux and irritable bowel
- Psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, acne
- Arthritis, chronic joint pain & inflammation
- Chronic sinusitis, hay fever or allergies
Note that in order to get the most out of the test, it's best done in conjunction with an initial naturopathic consultation, however it's also available without a consultation. The application form can be printed and returned with your hair sample to the clinic for processing.
