ALCAT is one of the best food allergy tests which helped hundreds and thousands of people around the world achieve better health by helping them pinpoint the foods they should avoid.

ALCAT is the gold standard for food allergy testing because it is the only lab that has been shown to have 83.4 % accuracy with food and 96% accuracy with food additives in double blind trials. The level of accuracy with IgG diagnosis of food Allergies is much lower.
