The IgG/IgA Superfood Panel (144 foods) provides a targeted analysis of immune responses to a wide range of foods, helping to identify potential sensitivities or intolerances. This test measures both Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies to assess how your body reacts to specific superfoods. IgG antibodies are associated with delayed sensitivities that can contribute to chronic health issues such as digestive discomfort, skin irritations, headaches, or fatigue. On the other hand, IgA, which plays a vital role in immune defence, is found in mucosal areas like the gut, and elevated IgA levels in response to certain foods can indicate an immune response in the gastrointestinal tract, potentially leading to symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, or abdominal pain.
By combining IgG and IgA testing, this panel offers a more comprehensive understanding of food reactions, focusing on commonly consumed superfoods. It is particularly useful for those experiencing unexplained or recurring symptoms and helps identify foods that may be affecting overall health. The results enable healthcare providers to offer personalised dietary recommendations, helping individuals make informed decisions and optimise their diet. Collaborating with a healthcare professional is essential to accurately interpret the results and develop an effective plan for improving wellbeing and health.

Do You Have Food Allergies?
The IgG/IgA allergy test is a simple test that you can do at your home or office. The test includes testing for 144 common food allergens by checking each food against your body’s IgG/IgA antibodies.
How The Allergy Test Works
The IgG/IgA food allergy test is measuring the IgG/IgA antibodies primarily found in the mucous secretions, this test is ideal for food allergy reactions that cause delayed reactions and are often hard to diagnose because of the time between consumption and the physical reaction. Generally, an IgA reaction occurs hours to days after exposure to these food antigens.
The IgG/IgA food allergy test offers a useful tool for detecting the foods causing allergic reactions. It is recommended that IgG/IgA allergy testing is only performed for infants greater than 18 months of age.
