5Strands opts for hair samples due to their practicality and compliance with mailing regulations. Unlike blood or saliva, hair does not deteriorate, making it a stable and effective medium for testing. While bioresonance can also be measured through saliva, the costs and complexities of safely shipping bodily fluids are significantly higher, ultimately impacting customer expenses. Hair samples offer a simpler, cost-effective solution.

After completing testing, 5Strands stores your hair sample in a secure container for up to 45 days. This allows you the convenience of upgrading your test without needing to send a new sample. Every 45 days, a certified biohazard company collects the samples to dispose of them safely, adhering strictly to EPA, OSHA, and CDC guidelines.

Once we receive your sample, results are processed within 5-7 days. You can easily access these results through several convenient platforms: directly on your 5Strands account, via our free mobile app, or through the email associated with your registered kit. This multi-platform availability ensures that you can view your health insights wherever you prefer, with secure access at any time. Our system also provides notifications to alert you as soon as your results are available, making the process seamless and user-friendly.

Yes, 5Strands tests are available across all 50 states.
