How does it work?

You take a dry blood spot sample at home, send it back to us and we will send you your result with information on how strongly your body reacts to the respective spores and pollens.

What guidance will I get along with my results?

Your findings contain detailed information about your body’s reaction to the above pores and pollens and whether this reaction is minimal, weak, mild to moderate, or strong. You can then discuss these results with your doctor or alternative practitioner, who can advise you on how to proceed and on the various therapy options.

Although we do not offer medical advice ourselves, we will gladly assist you in finding a suitable therapist in your area. Besides, further information is available on our website, especially in the different test categories, under “health conditions” and the FAQs. Still have questions?
