Works very well. I knew I was deficient in some vitamins, and it’s very accurate. I can tell because of my symptoms, for example, low vitamin K—I always wondered why I bruise so easily. I love this test.

Assess Your Diet For Optimal Nutrient Absorption
Prioritize a healthy diet of whole foods (fresh meats, veggies, fruits, and nuts) to give your body the best chance at proper nutrient absorption.
If you take supplements, opt for those sourced from natural elements (whole foods, plants & herbs) to avoid synthetic additives that challenge the body’s processing abilities.
Questions & Answers About Vitamin & Mineral Imbalances
The test identifies your body’s inability to absorb and process specific nutrients, even if you are consuming them through food or supplements. It uses bioresonance testing from a hair sample to determine how well your body absorbs various nutrients, indicating potential imbalances that could affect your health.
Yes, the test can guide you in modifying your diet. By identifying nutrients that your body struggles to absorb, you can tailor your food choices to include more of those nutrients from sources that you are not intolerant to. The test provides detailed information about which whole foods are rich in the poorly absorbed nutrients, helping you optimize your diet for better health outcomes.
Nutrient absorption issues can arise from consuming foods or supplements that your body is intolerant to, leading to inflammation and reduced absorption at the cellular level. This test helps you understand which nutrients are not being absorbed properly, regardless of your intake, due to such intolerances.
Use the test results to adjust your diet and supplement intake. Focus on consuming whole foods that you are not intolerant to, as these are best absorbed by your body. If opting for supplements, choose those that are closest to their natural form for better absorption. The test provides guidance on whole food sources and the functions of each nutrient, helping you make informed choices about your nutrition.
Unlike blood tests that measure the physical amount of nutrients present in your body, the 5Strands test uses bioresonance technology to predict potential absorption issues before they manifest into more significant health problems. It does not provide a reference range for each nutrient, focusing instead on preemptive detection of imbalances based on your body’s responses.
Customer Reviews
United StatesThis was an excellent experience! My results returned quicker than expected. This test gave me a good indication of vitamins, minerals and nutrients to look at for my bodies needs. I was experiencing symptoms of deficiency and now after buying and taking certain supplements my symptoms are gone! Thank you for this guidance! Though you said it doesn’t replace the advice of a doctor, it is extremely helpful!
Great work. I got so much information and thanks
I did the hair strand test and based on the results I started taking a high potency B vitamin complex. I am feeling more energetic and not napping like an old cat anymore. I feel so much better. Thanks!!
Very easy to use. Also I received my results faster than expected.
I discovered that I was not absorbing a lot of the B vitamins. I took this information to my doctor and am now on a B complex tablet. Am looking forward to seeing new results in 6 months.
This test was very easy to use, a few strands of hair! And it was very important to find out which deficiencies I had. I’ve been addressing those and plan to retest in a few weeks so will be reordering soon!
Easy collection, fast response, clear results in the privacy of your own home, and additional savings on other tests at a reduce cost with no additional hair collection.
Very efficient service and comprehensive analysis. Priced reasonably and like their product.
This test is easy to take (hair samples) and easy to send in. I received emails with notification and the communication was great through the entire process. I only gave 4 starts because I wish we could see what our lab numbers are. The test only shows if you are low high or extreme in deficiencies. It would be nice to see how low, how high or how extreme. Other than that the test is easy and much more convenient than having to go to a dr or a lab!
I have been using this test for a couple of years now and it hasn’t disappointed me. I just which they’ll do more research on nutrients like Carnitine, Alpha lipoic Acid, and Citruline and include those to the test. It that happens, this will be my favorite test for nutrients.
The details from the test are very helpful and very detailed. I bought a few others for my family. My first sample got lost in the mail but customer service explained how I could send another sample. I do wish there was a company partnering with 5Strands so we could buy the supplements we need.
Awesome service, easy process, and super detailed information. I’d highly recommend 5Strands when you’re ready to know what you’re intolerant to.
