The Lectin Zoomer panel detects the body’s reaction to lectins. Lectins are sugar-binding proteins that occur naturally in all organisms, but lectins found in common foods like grains, legumes, and nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc.) can cause microbial imbalances, damage the gut lining, and provoke the immune system in those with sensitivities. If you are diagnosed with or suspect food sensitivities, allergies, intestinal permeability, or have a history of rheumatoid arthritis or neural autoimmunity, you may benefit from this panel.
