Take charge of your health with the 5Strands Nutritional Imbalance Test, a comprehensive at-home assessment designed to identify how your body processes essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids. This test focuses on uncovering key nutrient imbalances that may be impacting your well-being. By using bioresonance technology, it pinpoints which nutrients your body struggles to absorb effectively, empowering you to make targeted dietary and supplementation choices.


What Does the Nutritional Imbalance Test Reveal?

The test analyzes over 80+ key nutrients, including vitamins (A, B complex, C, D, E, K), minerals (iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium), fatty acids (omega-3s), and amino acids. Rather than providing a blood-based measurement, the results focus on energetic imbalances, highlighting nutrients that exceed a sensitivity threshold set by our lab. These insights can help you address potential deficiencies before they manifest into physical symptoms like:

  • Hair thinning or brittle nails
  • Muscle cramping or joint discomfort
  • Dry skin or inflammation
  • Fatigue or brain fog

Why Choose the 5Strands Nutritional Imbalance Test?

Unlike traditional blood tests that offer a snapshot of nutrient levels, this test offers a unique perspective by examining how your body energetically interacts with nutrients over time. It provides insights into:

  • Absorption Challenges: Learn why your body may not be absorbing certain nutrients properly, whether due to synthetic supplements, dietary choices, or underlying sensitivities.
  • Food First Approach: Prioritize whole foods as the best source of essential nutrients. If a specific nutrient appears on your report, it may signal the need to consume more bioavailable options instead of relying solely on supplements.
  • Connection to Intolerances: Sensitivities to certain foods can trigger inflammatory responses that inhibit nutrient absorption, creating imbalances that this test can help address.

How It Works

The process is simple, non-invasive, and entirely at-home:

  1. Collect Your Sample: Submit 10–15 strands of hair. No needles, blood, or doctor visits required.
  2. Register Your Kit: Link your sample to your account using the provided unique ID code.
  3. Mail Your Sample: Use the prepaid return label to send your sample to 5Strands.
  4. Receive Your Results: Get a detailed report via email or mobile app in 7–10 days after your sample arrives.

How to Use Your Results

Your report will highlight nutrients your body struggles to absorb, allowing you to:

  • Adjust Your Diet: Focus on nutrient-dense whole foods tailored to your unique imbalances. For example, spinach, nuts, and seeds can help address magnesium needs.
  • Optimize Supplementation: Switch to bioavailable or plant-based supplements for better absorption if needed.
  • Understand Nutritional Triggers: Identify how intolerances to certain foods may be impacting your nutrient absorption.

This test also pairs seamlessly with the 5Strands Food Intolerance Test, providing a complete picture of how food sensitivities and nutritional imbalances may be interconnected.

Antioxidants: Combat oxidative stress and support overall cellular health.

The 5Strands Nutritional Imbalance Test provides actionable insights into which vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids your body struggles to absorb or utilize effectively. These imbalances can be rooted in various factors, including the quality of your supplements or hidden food intolerances that interfere with proper nutrient absorption. Understanding and applying your results can help you make targeted adjustments to your diet and supplement choices for optimal health.

Addressing Poor-Quality Supplements: If your results indicate imbalances in nutrients you are actively supplementing, it may signal that your body is struggling to absorb or process the synthetic or low-quality forms of these nutrients. For example, some multivitamins or isolated supplements contain non-bioavailable forms of nutrients, meaning your body can't fully utilize them. To address this:

Switch to Whole-Food-Based Supplements: These are derived from natural food sources, making them easier for your body to recognize and absorb. Focus on Whole Foods: Whenever possible, prioritize consuming nutrients through whole foods, as they provide synergistic benefits that supplements alone cannot replicate.

Identifying Food Intolerances as a Barrier: Food intolerances can create inflammation in the gut or trigger disruptions in your microbiome, both of which can impair your body’s ability to absorb essential nutrients. For instance, if you’re intolerant to dairy but rely on it for calcium, the inflammation caused by consuming dairy may block calcium absorption, leading to imbalances. To address this:

Use Your Food Intolerance Results: If you’ve taken the 5Strands Food Intolerance Test, cross-reference your results with the nutritional imbalances. Eliminating trigger foods can reduce inflammation and improve your nutrient absorption. Diversify Your Diet: Rotating nutrient-dense foods helps your body access a wide range of vitamins and minerals without overloading it with problematic items.

Prioritizing Changes Based on Results: Your results will highlight specific nutrients in need of attention, categorized by severity. Begin by focusing on the most critical imbalances, especially those that align with your symptoms (e.g., fatigue, brittle nails, or dry skin). Make gradual changes to your diet or supplements, and monitor how your body responds over time.

By following these steps, you can transform your results into an actionable plan, giving your body the support it needs to rebalance and thrive. If questions arise, the 5Strands support team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

The test uses bioresonance technology to analyze a hair sample and identify which vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids your body struggles to absorb or process. Unlike blood tests, this method identifies energetic imbalances rather than physical nutrient levels, offering a proactive approach to address potential deficiencies before they become noticeable symptoms.

No, this test does not replace a blood test. Blood tests measure the physical concentration of nutrients in your system, while the 5Strands Nutritional Imbalance Test highlights energetic disruptions that may be inhibiting proper nutrient absorption. It complements blood tests by identifying underlying issues, such as poor supplement quality or food intolerances, that may be affecting your overall nutrient balance.

Yes! If your results show imbalances in nutrients you are already supplementing, it may indicate that the source of the supplement is not bioavailable or is poorly absorbed. Consider switching to whole-food-based or organic supplements. Additionally, prioritize whole foods rich in the nutrients you need for a more natural, balanced approach.

Absolutely. Food intolerances can cause inflammation or disrupt your gut microbiome, both of which hinder your body’s ability to absorb nutrients properly. For example, if you’re intolerant to a food you rely on for key nutrients (like dairy for calcium), the intolerance may block absorption. Pairing this test with a Food Intolerance Test can help you address such barriers.

Start by focusing on the nutrients flagged as imbalanced in your report. Adjust your diet to include whole foods rich in these nutrients and ensure your supplements are high quality and bioavailable. If intolerances are contributing to imbalances, eliminate trigger foods to allow your gut to heal and improve absorption. Retesting every 6–12 months can help you track progress and fine-tune your nutrition plan.
