Vibrant Labs Inflammation Advanced

This test includes a combination of the Vibrant CTD (Connective Tissue Disorder) Panel, Wheat Zoomer, Lectin Zoomer, Corn/Egg Zoomer, and a Food Sensitivity test that covers 96 different foods.

Connective Tissue Disorder Panel at a glace:

  • The most comprehensive sensitive and specific test to assist in diagnoses of connective tissue disorders and related autoimmune disorders.

  • Utilizes a unique microchip platform to perform the most comprehensive serologic test for detecting well established CTD biomarkers from a single blood draw.

Wheat Zoomer at a glance:

  • The most comprehensive and sensitive assessment of gluten and wheat sensitivity.

  • The earliest and most sensitive detection of celiac available.

  • The most thorough assessment of intestinal barrier stability.

Lectin Zoomer at a glance:

In plants, lectins are part of the natural defense against microorganisms, pests and insects. Many members of the lectin protein family can agglutinate (clump together) and become problematic for human health.

  • A unique test which detects IgA and IgG antibodies to lectins and aquaporins.

Corn Zoomer at a glance:

  • An array of corn antigens which offers very specific antibody-to-antigen recognition.

  • The panel is designed to assess an individual’s IgG and IgA sensitivity to these antigens at the peptide level.

Egg Zoomer at a glance:

  • Can diagnose all antigenic peptides in eggs, known to be the major causes of egg sensitivity.

  • Eliminates the requirement of testing different forms of egg (raw vs cooked) and removes the false positives caused by cross-reactivity often seen in raw extracts.

Dairy Zoomer at a glance:

  • Delayed sensitivities to peptides in dairy can present up to 72 hours after consuming dairy foods.

  • Can affect skin, joints, brain and other internal organs and tissues.

  • Detecting sensitivity to cows milk can be difficult due to it’s ubiquitous presence in the Western diet, symptom overlap with other common conditions, and the often delayed nature of sensitivity symptoms.

Food Sensitivity at a glance:

  • The only functional medicine laboratory that utilizes chemiluminescent method of detecting food sensitivities on a silicone chip.

  • Tests for IgG and IgA antibodies to foods.

  • IgA antibodies provide protection from mucosal damage. IgA reactivity to foods indicates possible mucosal damage from a food.

*Vibrant’s Food Sensitivity panels are best run alongside the other Vibrant Food Zoomers to assess full depth and severity of intestinal barrier permeability, as well as high antigenic foods at peptide level sensitivity, to best treat underlying causes of inflammation and food sensitivity.
