Immune Sensitivity Testing for Herbs Commonly Used in Male Health Supplements

The 40 Male Herbs Panel evaluates immune responses by measuring leukocyte stimulation to 40 herbs frequently included in supplements designed to support men’s health. Identifying sensitivities helps optimize herbal supplementation by avoiding immune reactions that may worsen symptoms or cause inflammation.

Why This Test Matters

  • Detect Immune Reactions to Male-Focused Herbs: Many men use herbal supplements for testosterone support, prostate health, energy, or vitality. Some herbs may trigger immune system activation or sensitivities that contribute to symptoms such as inflammation, digestive upset, or allergic responses.
  • Personalize Herbal Protocols: Knowing which herbs your body tolerates can help you and your healthcare provider select effective and safe supplements.
  • Support Hormonal, Prostate, and Sexual Health: Avoiding immune-triggering herbs can reduce chronic symptoms and improve outcomes in conditions like low testosterone, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or erectile dysfunction.
  • Improve Chronic Symptom Management: Immune sensitivities may exacerbate symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, or skin issues — identification aids in symptom reduction.
