Allergen Component Panels

Allergen Component Panel

 

Allergen component testing can help determine which components, or smaller proteins/peptides within the larger whole food protein, could be causing an allergic reaction. Some individuals may react to a component, but not to the whole food protein, and vice-versa. To get a complete picture of allergic reactions, assess allergen components along with whole allergens.
