Mediator Release Test

The Mediator Release Test (MRT) is a food sensitivity test that measures inflammatory responses to specific foods and food chemicals. Unlike traditional allergy tests that detect IgE (immediate allergic reactions), MRT identifies delayed hypersensitivity reactions linked to chronic inflammation, digestive issues, skin conditions, migraines, and other symptoms.

How It Works:

MRT measures changes in the volume of white blood cells when exposed to different foods and chemicals. A strong reaction means the immune system is releasing mediators (like histamines, cytokines, and prostaglandins), which trigger inflammation, pain, and discomfort.

Benefits:

✅ Identifies Food Sensitivities (Not Just Allergies) – Detects hidden food and chemical triggers responsible for symptoms like bloating, IBS, migraines, fatigue, joint pain, skin issues (eczema, acne), and brain fog.

✅ Supports Gut Health & Inflammation Reduction – Helps pinpoint foods causing gut irritation, leaky gut, and immune system overactivation, allowing individuals to restore digestive health.

✅ Personalized Nutrition Approach – Results help create a customized elimination diet to reduce chronic inflammation and improve overall well-being.

✅ Addresses Chronic Conditions – Beneficial for individuals dealing with autoimmune disorders, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or persistent unexplained symptoms.

✅ More Accurate Than Traditional Sensitivity Tests – Unlike IgG-only tests, MRT measures the actual immune response, making it more reliable for identifying problem foods.

✅ Blood-Based Test for Easy Analysis – Requires a simple blood draw, making it a convenient and effective way to uncover food-related inflammation.
