Description
The Gold screen checks a single hair sample against 700+ items — 350 foods and drinks, plus 350 non-food items such as pollens, moulds, fabrics, metals and household chemicals. Your report flags a reference list generated by the proprietary, non-diagnostic process, so you have a shortlist to work through rather than several hundred possibilities.
It is our most popular screen, and the one most people start with.
What is included
- 350 foods and drinks — dairy, grains, meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, herbs, spices, additives and drinks
- 350 non-food items — pollens, grasses, moulds, dust, animal dander, fabrics, metals and common household chemicals
- A personalised written report, emailed to you
- A suggested elimination approach so you know what to do with the results
How it works
- Order online. There is no kit to wait for and nothing to collect.
- We email your instructions. Snip 9 or 10 strands of hair — close to the root, from anywhere on your head.
- Post it to our UK lab in an ordinary envelope, using standard postage.
- Your report arrives by email within 3 working days of your sample reaching the lab. Allow 5–7 days from the day you post it.
What this is — and what it is not
What it is
- A screening tool that gives you a shortlist of items worth exploring first, so an elimination diet becomes manageable instead of guesswork
- A structured starting point for a focused 6-week elimination, with reintroduction afterwards
- Backed by our 90-day money-back guarantee
What it is not
- Not a medical or allergy test, and not a diagnosis. Only a doctor can diagnose a condition
- Not a measure of anything happening inside your body — hair is dead keratin
- Not a cure or a treatment. Any change in how you feel comes from the dietary changes you make, and it is the food diary that shows the link
- Never a way to assess allergy risk. If you suspect an allergy, speak to your GP or an allergy clinic
Our 90-day money-back guarantee
Follow your personalised plan for at least six weeks and keep a simple food diary. If you have seen no change at all, contact us within 90 days of receiving your report and we will refund you in full.
When to speak to your GP. This is an intolerance screen, not a medical or allergy test. See your GP about persistent symptoms, and urgently if you have unexplained weight loss, blood in your stools, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or sudden swelling — those need medical assessment, not a diet experiment.
