Our tests are broken down into the following 10 categories
Lipoprotein Fractionation, NMR with Lipid Panel (Triglycerides/HDL-C) - The Lipoprotein Fractionation, NMR test is used to help assess the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with intermediate or high risk based on traditional or emerging risk factors, and to assess therapeutic response in patients undergoing lipid-lowering therapy. The lipid panel is used to determine an individual's risk of developing cardiovascular disease and to monitor the efficacy of therapy or lifestyle changes.
This panel is a basic cholesterol with triglyceride test. Ideal as an add-on to other testing to assess cholesterol levels. See test Q34789 for LDL fractionation panel which gives more in-depth detail of LDL particle sizes.

The Triosmart breath test is a first of its' kind breath test assessing hydrogen, methane and hydrogen sulphide. Brought to you by the same organisation that
delivered the IBS Smart test we are delighted to bring this test to the UK.
This test comprises the standard GI Map test with candida antibodies (IgG, IgA, IgM) and H.pylori antibodies (IgG) for a more comprehensive view of the immunological response to common GI potential pathogens.
Includes research on the bacteria that cause 92% of all classical intestinal infections, namely: Proteus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella aerogenes, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria, Yersinia enterocolitica, Helicobacter pylori, Clostridium perfringens and Clostridioides difficile.
Gi-Map +Zonulin Add on. Single sample qPCR Stool test acutely sensitive to parasites, bacteria and fungi.
Assessment can also be made of how much of an organism's DNA is present so a more comprehensive potential pathogen picture can be understood. This test is an ideal first phase gut test. The zonulin add-on gives an insight into risk of intestinal hyper-permeability.
With periodic intestinal complaints, there is a high probability that a parasitic infection is the cause. Our study is the most comprehensive parasite research on the market and identifies the 16 species responsible for more than 95% of parasitic intestinal infections worldwide.
Complete insight into the quality of digestion. This examination is suitable in cases of osmotic diarrhea, steatorrhea, pancreatic insufficiency and impaired liver function. The research includes the determination of fat, carbohydrate, protein and water content and pancreatic elastase in the stool.
This package examines whether elevated amounts of yeasts and/or fungi are present and how active they are. Any presence of Candida albicans and Aspergillus is specifically noted in the report.
A series of three Pro Dysbiosis tests that provide insight into the development of the balance of the gut microbiome over a period of time. After the 2nd and 3rd measurement, the report is completed with information on the development of the dysbiotic status compared to the previous measurement(s).
This package provides insight into whether the gut microbiome is in balance, based on the two largest groups of bacteria in the gut microbiome. In case of imbalance (dysbiosis), you get information on the type of dysbiosis, the degree of dysbiosis, characteristics of the sample and therapy advice to treat that specific type of dysbiosis.
Thanks to our research method used, the sample remains usable for up to seven days after collection(unlike other methods).
The most comprehensive gut microbiome package from NL, this test goes beyond the ProExpert profile and offers additional advanced testing that provides insight into gut wall quality, permeability, repair capacity and inflammation (if any), kidney function, and systemic inflammatory states.
This package offers everything from the Pro Basic package, plus additional bacterial analyses (Akkermansia and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii) and insight into the role of the gut microbiome on: probiotic function, mucus function, gut membrane protection, gut wall permeability, and possible gut wall inflammation.
Thanks to our research method used, the sample remains usable for up to seven days after collection(unlike other methods).
The Fecal Gluten Peptide assay is a direct measurement of the 33-mer gliadin peptide in stool. It is not an antibody or immune response test (as is fecal SIgA). If the gluten peptide is present in stool, then gluten has entered the digestive tract via consumption.
As a direct peptide measurement, it is not subject to the same limitations of immunosuppression as with antibody testing.
The Fecal Gluten Peptide marker helps eliminate the ambiguity of cross reactivity. If the Fecal Gluten Peptide is detected in stool, the patient has been directly exposure to gluten, specifically.
The detection of gluten peptide in stool indicates recent intake of gluten (within two to four days). When gluten is detected in the stool of a patient on a GF diet, the Fecal Gluten Peptide marker can guide the patient and healthcare provider to the source of "hidden" gluten exposures and increase adherence to a true therapeutic diet.
IBS Smart is an advanced test for confirming post-infectious IBS.
Suitable for assessing diarrhoea or mixed-type symptoms of IBS associated with food poisoning/gastroenteritis (anti-vinculin autoimmunity typically develops 3-4 months post infection). Once Anti-CdtB antibodies have developed, anti-vinculin antibodies tend to follow. This immune activity mediates the cells of cajal that line and enervate the intestinal lining, leading to an increased risk of motility issues via changes in MMC function.
Single sample qPCR Stool test acutely sensitive to parasites, bacteria and fungi as it targets the specific DNA of the organisms tested. This test is excellent for assessing presence of H.pylori.
Assessment is made of how much of an organism's DNA is present so a more comprehensive potential pathogen picture can be understood. This test is an ideal first phase gut test.
Additional intestinal health markers are also reported on this test, giving an excellent overview of a client's gut inflammatory profile.
Our SIBO breath collection kits come with either Glucose or Lactulose as a substrate so please select the option you want. This option is the lactulose substate, but visit AE821 for the glucose option.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a disorder of excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine. Unlike the large intestine, which is rich with bacteria, SIBO occurs when bacteria enter your normally almost completely sterile small intestine and begin to colonise. Patients with bacterial overgrowth typically develop symptoms including nausea, bloating, vomiting, diarrhoea, malnutrition, weight loss and malabsorption. Glucose is useful for distal SIBO and Lactulose for proximal SIBO. We recommend starting with Lactulose if this is the first time the test has been undertaken.

Glucose is useful for distal SIBO and Lactulose for proximal SIBO. We recommend starting with Lactulose if this is the first time the test has been undertaken.
Intolerance test options include Fructose, Lactose and Sucrose.
Fructose malabsorption is a digestive disorder where fructose absorption is impaired. This results in an increased concentration of fructose in the intestine. This test can be useful to differentiate from other malabsorption disorders and give clarity for clients who may have IBS-type symptoms. This test does not assess hereditary fructose malabsorption which is a genetically driven condition.
Sucrose intolerance can also be found in those with IBS type symptoms. Sucrose (common table sugar) is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. It is found in sugar cane, sugar beets and many fruits and vegetables. The enzyme sucrase is present in both animal and plant tissues and hydrolyzes sucrose into its two component monosaccharides.
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose. Lactose is a milk sugar, so is found in milk and other dairy foods. Intolerance to lactose can lead to symptoms such as gas, bloating, diarrhoea or cramping when dairy products are consumed. Symptoms come as a result of the body's lack of the enzyme lactase, which is an enzyme produced in the small intestine required in order to digest lactose.
This specialised test considers microbiome composition for a comprehensive GI Microbiome analysis.
Not only are individual microbes assessed but a composition graph gives relative percentages of each species. Charts are then provided to show whether levels fall below or are reported above reference values. The result also shows activity of each group with active/inactive percentages given.
This stool test is an advanced parasite panel that includes the Comprehensive Stool Analysis (CSA).
This stool test is highly recommended for patients with GI symptoms who have had negative stool tests for parasites, as the symptoms for pathogenic bacteria are very similar to those of parasitic infections. Full GI Panel consists of the Comprehensive Stool Analysis (CSA) and the Swab Culture. The combination of these two tests provides full coverage screening of all intestinal pathogens and is recommended for anyone experiencing GI symptoms. The CSA provides a detailed analysis of all intestinal parasites (Protozoa, Trematodes,Tapeworms, Nematodes) from all 7 continents as well as other intestinal organisms including Candida, yeast, and other fungi. Analysis of bio-indicators such as red and white blood cells, mucus, fatty acid crystals, starch granules, undigested tissue, beneficial bacteria, epithelial cells, pollen, and charcot-leyden crystals is also included. Swabs are taken for culturing and analysis of bacterial and fungal infections. Sensitivity and resistance results as well as quantification of positive findings indicating intensity of infection are also included. The Swab Culture can be used for culturing stool, skin, urine, or any other body parts or secretions,

HLA testing supports understanding of response to environment. This easy to use cheek swab test means that a blood draw is not required for this test.
GENIE stands for Gene Expression by Nanostring: Inflammation Explained. It measures gene expression in mRNA.
GENIE is a blood test that is a research only assay of mRNA in white blood cells, reporting on up or down regulation of key genes. The blood draw is non-fasting and must be drawn between 9-11am. Results can be expected within 30 days. Two tubes are drawn as patients with profound hypometabolism typically produce lower amounts of RNA and sometimes this low amount drops below the minimum amount to run the assay effectively.
The most important question that GENIE will answer is whether or not the lab results show hypometabolism. We look for suppression of ribosomal genes (found in (i) large and (ii) small subunits) in treatment-naïve patients to show such hypometabolism. Similarly, mitochondrial genes that are encoded in the nucleus (Note: of the over 1000 mitochondrial genes only 37 are located in mitochondria; the rest are in our nuclear DNA and thereby subject to regulation of nuclear DNA transcription). The mitochondrial genes that we look at include (i) electron transport genes; (ii) inner and outer membrane protein transport genes; and (iii) ATP synthase genes. We also look at ribosomes inside mitochondria called mitoribosomes, both as the (iv) large and (v) small subunits.
Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) profiles indicate antigen presentation capacity.
Antigen presentation then determines the likely immune response to a foreign protein. This HLA test considers the HLA profile required for consideration of CIRS as per the work of Dr Shoemaker and the Centre for Biotoxin Related Illness.

This test reports on APOE genotype. ApoE is an apolipoprotein that has many roles in lipid regulation.
APOE is perhaps best known in recent years related to polymorphisms that encode e2, e3 and 34. There are therefore 6 possible genotypes e2/e2, e2/e3, e2/e4, e3/e3, e4/e3, e4/e4 which can all affect lipid levels.
E2/e2= increased triglycerides and reductions in total cholesterol
E4/e3 and e4/e4 = increased total thoclesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.
ApoE e4 carriers have a 42% higher risk for Cardiovascular Disease.
Statins has been shown to work more effectively in those with e2/e2 or e2/e3 genotypes.
E4 has been shown to be highly associated with Alzheimer’s and features highly in the work of Dr Dale Bredesen.

Pre-Diabetes Panel considers cardio-metabolic factors as well as insulin/glucose status (Cardio IQ, Adiponectin, HbA1C, Fasting glucose, GGT).
When Type 1 Diabetes develops in later life, it is known as Latent Autoimmune Diabetes (LADA). When Glutamic Acid Decaboxylase (GAD) antibodies are positive this supports a diagnosis of LADA. GAD antibodies are part of the auto-immune process that contribute to the destruction of pancreatic beta cells. Insulin antibodies also contribute to the lowering of insulin levels. Around 30% of Type 1 Diabetes cases are diagnosed after the age of 30, with around 3-12% of adult diabetes cases being LADA.
Stiff Person Syndrome can be associated with very high levels of GAD antibodies.

Glucans are polysaccharides, primarily composed of glucose chains that can be occasionally cross-linked and branched. They are found in the cell walls of bacteria, plants, fungi (yeasts and molds), and algae.
Immunomodulatory Properties:
Glucans, specifically (1→3)-ß-D-glucans, act as immunomodulators.
They bind to and activate various immune cells, including NK cells, neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages.
Glucans are thought to attach to a range of cells, including fibroblasts and endothelial cells.
Biological Actions:
Glucans induce the production of cytokines, which play a crucial role in inflammation.
They are associated with processes such as nitric oxide generation, complement cascade activation, and activation of lymphocytes and macrophages.
Studies suggest that endotoxin and glucan can work together to boost the inflammatory response, and this combination has been explored in the treatment of certain conditions.

Skin swab for Actinomycetes. Human Host Actinos were selected based on toxins-producing species and their impact on human health.
Dust Swiffer testing comprises tests for assessing environmental exposure to key moulds, bacteria and metabolites.
The most frequent species of bacteria found in buildings damaged by water are Actinomycetes. This is a type of bacteria that produces biotoxins similar to mycotoxin in the mold. In general, the biotoxins of bacteria by weight and mass are much more important, for example, than mycotoxins. The test is based on the microbial identification of all bacteria in the sample. The Actino test was developed by selecting the 40 main species of Actino in the sample to create a score for Building-related Disease (BRI) situation.
Endotoxins are derived from the cell walls of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB). Gram-negative bacteria are found almost anywhere in nature. Their toxins are found within the outer layer membrane of the GNB cell wall. They do not have to be living, therefore both viable and non-viable gram-negative bacteria contribute endotoxins.
The most common routes of endotoxin exposure are through inhalation, or through intestinal tract absorption through food or water. The health effect of endotoxins varies depending on the individual, dosage, and route of exposure. Elevated airborne concentrations are prevalent in sewage treatment plants, swine operations, cotton textile mills, poultry houses and in water damaged and flood contaminated buildings.
Dust Swiffer testing comprises tests for assessing environmental exposure to key moulds and metabolites.
The total mold test detects and quantifies all the mould species in the sample and reports the results as spore equivalent per milligrams of the sample.
