Food Sensitivity Testing: MRT (Mediator Release Testing) – Contact for pricing

Food sensitivities can play a role in many common health conditions. The Mediator Release Test, also known as the MRT, helps identify 176 foods and chemical substances triggering an immune response and inflammation so you can better understand which foods currently work best for your body.

The bonus: While most food sensitivity tests only check for IgG reactions (immediate response), the MRT food sensitivity test also considers IgA and IgM responses (delayed responses) as well as other immune unregulated markers like histamine, cytokines, and interleukins. It is currently the only blood test available that tests cellular end-point reactions and quantifies the degree of inflammatory reaction. The technology used for the MRT delivers the most comprehensive picture of cellular reactivity.
