Test 104 micronutrients, botanicals, and antioxidants to nourish and protect your body at the cellular level. This test can also be used to customize supplements.
This test may help with:
References CNA: https://home.previmedica.com/lab-science/
If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have the safest way to health. (Hippocrates)
People are often confused as to whether or not their supplements are truly benefiting them. This test answers those questions.
Micronutrients counteract stress and improve resistance to environmental pollution, toxins, and drugs, which varies from person to person. Many factors, such as lifestyle, genetics, pregnancy, recent infection, sleep patterns, overexertion in sports, age, gender, and other factors may play a role in your nutritional status and needs.
The Cellular Nutrition Assay (CNA) reflects how your immune cells respond to and are protected by specific micronutrients and antioxidants all of which is based on your biochemical individuality.
Thus, the CNA tells you what your cells need.
Everybody’s nutritional needs are different. The Cellular Nutrition Assays (CNA) examine how your cells respond to specific nutrients – not just whether you are within “normal population ranges”. The CNA provides the basis for personalized foods and supplements tailored to your unique needs.
The Previ Expert Package will take into account all laboratory findings for your personalized diet and supplement plan.
Nutrient stores in cells reflect long-term nutritional status and have the most functional impact. We analyze the direct response of your immune cells (lymphocytes) when individual micronutrients are added to them. When we see increased metabolism of your immune cells it may indicate a micronutrient insufficiency.
The Redox Assay or your “cell stress test” reflects your antioxidant capacity, in other words, your cells’ ability to resist oxidative damage.
The cell protection part of the test indicates which nutrients should be considered to protect your immune cells, resist oxidative damage, and improve your overall antioxidant capacity (Redox).
Results are actionable, easy to understand, and meaningful.
A simple blood draw is needed.
Nutrients are highlighted according to your cellular responses. Descriptions of each “insufficient” nutrient and “protective” antioxidant are provided along with specific foods to emphasize in your diet.
We recommend that this test be used as part of a comprehensive nutritional assessment with individualized guidance as provided with the Previ Expert Package.

The methylation-detoxification profile is a genetic test for important metabolic pathways, detoxification, and hormone balance.
Methylation-detoxification genes may be related with:
References MD Profile: https://home.previmedica.com/lab-science/
More than 50% of people may be affected by genetic variants in the methylation pathway. Fortunately gene variants can be supported with proper nutrition and the right supplementation.
Methyl groups can act as gene regulators. They are biochemical on-and-off switches of gene expression. They control enzymatic reactions, impact mood and neurotransmitter balance, protect against chronic degenerative disease by reducing inflammatory processes, transform toxins into forms that are more readily excreted, impact tissue healing, and protect cells from oxidative stress.
Thus, methylation can play an important role in many health conditions.
You’re unique. Eat like it.
Vitamins, minerals, nutrients, coenzymes, and botanicals can only do their job as desired on the basis of functioning methylation.
Essential processes of the body to maintain health and self-healing are influenced by methyl groups. If methyl groups are in short supply, the body has difficulty controlling these functions. You become ”out of balance”.
Identifying your genetic variants can help determine what nutrient support you need.
The Previ Expert Package will take into account all laboratory findings for your personalized nutrition and supplement plan.
Methyl Detox Profile test components:
The genes are analyzed using real time SSP-PCR (polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers) followed by melt curve analysis.
The methylation process and the functional status of the methylation pathway is profound and complex.
The Methyl Detox Profile provides an easy-to-understand test report which is both clear and patient friendly.
A simple swab sample or blood draw is needed.
Test results include expert clinician commentaries and include personalized recommendations for diet, nutrient supplementation, or IV nutrient therapy.
We recommend that this test be used as part of a comprehensive nutritional assessment with individualized guidance as provided with the Previ Expert Package.

Monitor your health progress. Telomere length may indicate and predict biological ageing and age-related diseases.
The test may help in catching early signs of
References Telomere Length: https://home.previmedica.com/lab-science/
Telomeres are the end pieces of our chromosomes – and, just as the plastic end caps on our shoelaces prevents the laces from fraying, the telomeres protect our chromosomes from fraying, thus helping to keep our DNA stable.
With each cell division, the telomeres decrease in length. Biologist Leonard Hayflick, in the 1960s, discovered that over the course of about 50 divisions the telomeres become so short that cell division can no longer occur, and reaches what is now called the, “Hayflick limit.” At that point the cell no longer divides and it becomes senescent; that is, it loses function and dies or, lives but becomes a “zombie” cell. The accumulation of senescent cells is related to aging.
Genetics is not absolute. It is estimated that 70% of chronic diseases are related to lifestyle. This is called epigenetics, that is, how your genes are expressed. Therefore, a well-adjusted lifestyle is the key to improving health and well-being.
Telomeres length is regarded as an indicator of biological aging and provides insight into biological aging including the potential for age-related disease.
Telomeres can be prematurely shortened due to inflammation related oxidative stress. These conditions might reduce the protective effect of telomeres, damaging DNA, and contributing to early cell death.
The body has a natural defense against telomere shortening. In fact the Nobel prize 2009 was granted to the scientists Elisabeth Blackburn, Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase.
The title of Blackburn’s book says it all: “Living younger, healthier, longer”. – Eric Kandel, Nobel laureate states: “A classic. One of the most exciting books to emerge in the last decade. It explains how we can slow the way we age at a fundamental level.”
In the human body the enzyme telomerase counteracts the shortening of telomeres. The good news is that lifestyle choices aimed at reducing inflammation may help delay telomere shortening.
With the telomere length test you will gain insight regarding your “biological aging” and this test can be used for monitoring progress.
A simple blood draw is all you need.
DNA from white blood cells is analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to determine the average leukocyte (immune cell) telomere length value by comparing the number of nucleotide repeats of the telomeres against a single copy reference gene. The result is then compared to an age-matched population.
The test report is easy to read and to understand.
The telomere score is based on your average telomere length compared to telomere lengths from individuals of the same age range.
A simple blood draw is needed.
We recommend that this test be used as part of a comprehensive nutritional assessment with individualized guidance as provided with the Previ Expert Package.

The Celiac, IBS, Crohn’s Assay (CICA) uses genetic and antibody biomarkers to better understand your GI conditions, risks, and what to do about it.
This test can provide valuable information about
References CICA: https://home.previmedica.com/lab-science/
2,500 years ago the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates stated: “Health starts in the gut.”
Not surprisingly, about 70% of the immune system is in the gut.
By improving gut health you improve overall health.
Over 40% of Americans suffer from GI disorders. Accurate diagnosis requires that both genetic and immunologic biomarkers be evaluated. Cellular reactivity, as measured by the Alcat functional food sensitivity test, is a valuable add on.
That is why the CICA evaluates genetic markers for celiac and Crohn’s diseases along with serologic biomarkers associated with active disease processes.
It also measures potentially inflammatory cellular reactions, using an optional Alcat food sensitivity test on the cellular level, all with one simple blood draw.
Genetic biomarkers evaluated by this array include the HLA-DQ genes (DQ2.5 and DQ8) which are associated with the increased risk of celiac disease. Interestingly, if you do not have either of these variants, you cannot get celiac disease, but you might have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, where symptoms are similar. The Alcat food sensitivity test may provide a good indication of this. The degree of risk will depend upon if you have these genes form just one or both of your parents; and just one variant and not the other.
Similarly, we test for mutations in the ATG16L1 and NOD2 genes, which are associated with Crohn’s.
Antibodies: Having some degree of genetic susceptibility does not mean you have celiac or Crohn’s. Therefore, to determine if a disease process is underway, we test for serologic markers (antibodies), IgG and IgA antibodies, against DGP (deaminated gliadin peptide) and tTG (tissue transglutaminase, both associated with celiac. tTG, or tissue transglutaminase, is produced by damaged gut lining cells and thus are indicators of active disease. (ASCA) antibodies associated with Crohn’s are also tested. Total serum IgA antibodies are measured as an added safeguard to the accuracy of antibody readings.
Alcat food sensitivity test on the cellular level: You might also suffer from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). This is a broad diagnosis, but fortunately it responds quite well to dietary modification based on the Alcat test as seen in clinical studies.
Due to the complexity and interactions of these biomarkers it is highly recommended that you take advantage of our free test review and/or have your health care provider help you understand your test.
This gut health assessment provides insights from different immune pathways, regarding With PreviMedica you can take steps to find causes of your gut disorder or disease and can act with a health-promoting lifestyle!

Let food be thy medicine! Functional food sensitivity testing at the cellular level shows how your immune cells respond to foods.
Food sensitivity may be associated with:
References Alcat functional sensitivity: https://home.previmedica.com/lab-science/
The impact of food sensitivity is easily underestimated. The Alcat Test uncovers how food, even supposedly healthy foods, may affect your wellbeing.
Gluten-free, Paleo, dairy-free, no nightshades, no caffeine, vegan, no grains… ever feel like you’re constantly trying to pinpoint which foods you should and shouldn’t eat?
You are unique. One way to personalize your diet with the foods that are right for you is to take the Alcat functional food sensitivity test.
This anti-inflammatory diet may support the immune system, detoxification and metabolism – a prerequisite for health, wellness and performance.
Our functional food sensitivity is a biological immune cell activation test. Detected cell changes in volume, size and number are associated with cell activation potentially causing inflammation.
Immune cell activation is the cause of inflammation
The immune system is a double edged sword. It should react appropriately and protect against infection when confronted with harmful invaders.
The above figure shows the defense reaction of an immune cell (neutrophil/eosinophil granulocyte) causing inflammation. Beside pathogens such reactions can also be induced by foods, toxins or chemicals. The scientific term is DAMP, danger/damage associated molecular pattern. Adverse reactions to foods are found to be a factor in chronic and cardio-metabolic diseases, or autoimmunity.
The Alcat Test does NOT measure “true” food allergy classic allergy type 1) where symptom onset is immediate and acute. The Alcat Test identifies foods which may cause delayed type hypersensitivities that are usually chronic and low grade. Therefore, you may not be aware that chronic symptoms may be associated by foods regularly consumed.
A review of test results with your Previ Nutrition Counselor is included.
Your blood sample is sent to the laboratory. The sample first goes through a multi-step quality assurance process. During testing, your immune cells are confronted with foods and/or items including additives, colorings, molds, medicinal herbs, and chemical agents.
After testing, the results are presented in a clear and easy to read color-coded format, showing you which foods/substances to which your cells had a severe, moderate , mild, or no reaction.
A suggested dietary rotation plan is provided. The test result review is included.

Test your compatibility to medicinal herbs and functional foods
The test may help to
References Alcat functional sensitivity: https://home.previmedica.com/lab-science/
Medicinal herbs, functional foods and botanicals are widely used in supplements, teas, creams, tinctures, cosmetics… even in functional foods, e.g. protein bars.
The potency of botanicals is easily underestimated. Our testing uncovers how the intake of supposedly healthy food supplements or natural medicine may actually impede your health goals because they may not be compatible:
Taking the “extra vitamin kick” or botanicals does not always have the beneficial effect that is hoped for. The active ingredients are very potent and should not be underestimated.
The biologically active plant ingredients in adaptogens are intended to help people “adapt” to increased physical and emotional stress. Adaptogens can even have multiple beneficial effects, e.g. simultaneously calming and vitalizing or stress-reducing and performance- enhancing. So, it is important that you use the right ones for you.
The functional Alcat sensitivity test evaluates if immune cell reaction against phytoceuticals are present. If an excessive cellular immune response (sensitivity or intolerance) is identified, the consumption should be avoided.
So that you get the most out of taking supplements, medicinal herb or functional food it is important to determine whether a substance is a friend or foe of your immune cells.
If you show a reaction in your Alcat Intolerance Test to medicinal herbs or functional foods, you should definitely avoid the substance affected.
Your Previ Expert counselor will take into account your lab findings to provide you with a personalized nutrition and supplement plan.
Functional nutraceutical intolerance testing
This highly specialized functional Alcat nutraceutical sensitivity test is based on the same principle as that of the Alcat Test for food sensitivity, to assess whether immune cell reactions are present or not. If a “foe” is identified in form of an excessive cellular immune response (intolerance), the intake should be avoided.
Nutraceutical intolerance test results are easy to understand, actionable, and meaningful.
A simple blood draw is needed.
Alcat Test results are categorized by your individual degree of cellular reactivity (severe, moderate, mild, or non-reactive) and reported in an easy to read color-coded format.
For this highly specialized test panel we recommend that this test be used as part of a comprehensive nutritional assessment with individualized guidance as provided with the Previ Expert Package.

Chemical sensitivity may be associated with
References Alcat functional sensitivity: https://home.previmedica.com/lab-science/
Despite a very conscious and organic lifestyle, contact with chemical substances is almost unavoidable. They are hidden in foods, especially in industrially processed (convenience) foods and ready meals, cosmetics, hygiene products, medicines, food supplements, cleaning agents, tobacco smoke, textiles, plastics and many more.
Contact with chemical substances is not obvious. Here is how the Alcat test can help:
Everyone comes into contact with artificial substances or medicines to some extent every day, starting with brushing your teeth, eating meals and going to work.
People are sometimes surprised to find out that they are sensitive to things they use every day, for example body care products and even tooth paste, medicines, cleaning products, tobacco smoke, pesticides, new cars (fumes), textiles and much more – any part of the body can be effected.
If there is a hypersensitivity to several chemical substances, it is referred to as MCS, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Such hypersensitivities can have different individual psychogenic or toxicogenic (poisonous) effects and can affect cognitive thinking, the musculoskeletal system, the gastrointestinal tract, the urogenital tract or the cardiovascular system.
Fortunately, there is a great deal of variety when selecting products. The Alcat test can be very helpful to determine how you react to chemicals that hopefully you can simply avoid and feel better.
The functional Alcat sensitivity test evaluates if immune cell reaction against chemicals are present. If an excessive cellular immune response (sensitivity or intolerance) is identified, the consumption should be considered.
It is important to understand that the Alcat Test does NOT test the toxicity of a substance, but how your immune system reacts when it comes into contact with it.
It is undeniable that many chemical substances are also toxic. For example, pesticides are there to kill bugs, among other things. To a certain extent, your immune system can probably cope with them. However, if the individual tolerance threshold is exceeded, the immune cells can react with a defense. The Alcat Test measures the cellular, innate immune response, the so-called first defense of the granulocytes (not an allergy!).
Functional chemical intolerance testing
This Alcat chemical sensitivity test uses the same principle as for food intolerance to assess whether immune cell reactions are present. If a foe is identified in form of an excessive cellular immune response (intolerance), the intake should be considered.
The figure shows the defense reaction of an immune cell (neutrophil/eosinophil granulocyte) causing inflammation. Beside pathogens such reactions can also be induced by foods, toxins or chemicals. Adverse reactions to foods are found to be a factor in chronic and cardio-metabolic diseases, autoimmunity or certain cancer types.
Chemical intolerance test results are easy to understand, actionable, and meaningful.
A simple blood draw is needed.
Alcat Test results are categorized by your individual degree of cellular reactivity (severe, moderate, mild, or non-reactive) and reported in an easy to read color-coded format.

The Alcat and the Cellular Micronutrient Tests are leaders in their respective classes because they are biological response, functional tests. In other words, they directly measure how your live immune cells react to something: for example, a food, chemical or micronutrient. For this we need to have live blood cells. The increased accuracy is well worth the minor inconvenience and convenient home blood draws are available and easy to arrange.
No, you may test directly through our website or one of our program advisors at PreviMedica. We do require a blood draw provided by a medical professional that we can assist in arranging. You may also take part in our additional support programs.

It is also important to note that food sensitivity testing is different from food allergy testing. While both tests aim to identify adverse food reactions, they differ in their methodologies and the types of reactions they are intended to detect. Food allergy testing focuses mainly on immediate and, in some instances, potentially life-threatening reactions that can be caused by foods. Food sensitivity testing, on the other hand, aims to detect delayed responses that typically are less severe but may still affect one’s health in less obvious ways. If you suspect that you have a true food allergy it is advisable to have a food allergy test. PreviMedica currently offers only food sensitivity testing.
