Identifying Immune Sensitivities to Common Environmental Chemicals and Additives
The 40 Environmental Chemicals, Preservatives, & Additives Panel by Alcat measures immune system reactions through leukocyte stimulation, identifying sensitivities that may contribute to symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, skin issues, respiratory problems, digestive disturbances, and chronic inflammation.
This panel specifically tests reactions to 40 commonly encountered environmental chemicals, food preservatives, and additives that could be silently affecting your health.
Why This Test is Important
- Detect Hidden Triggers: Many environmental chemicals and additives are pervasive in food, personal care, and household products. Sensitivities can cause or worsen chronic symptoms without obvious immediate reactions.
- Support Detoxification: Identifying sensitivities can help reduce toxic load and support the body's detox pathways.
- Guide Personalized Interventions: Helps clinicians and patients develop targeted avoidance strategies and therapeutic plans to improve overall health and reduce inflammation.
- Improve Quality of Life: Addressing environmental sensitivities often leads to symptom relief in patients with chronic, unexplained issues.
