What to watch with Nährstoffcheck and allergy?

A nutrient check (e.g., MyBody-X) can reveal deficiencies that may influence immune function or allergic responses – such as vitamin D, zinc, or omega-3 fatty acids. However, it does not replace allergy diagnostics. Most allergies are mediated by IgE antibodies; a nutrient test does not measure these. DNA tests for allergy risk also have small effect sizes and lack clinical validation. Be aware: a nutrient check is a screening tool, not a medical diagnosis. If you suspect allergies, consult a doctor for specific tests (e.g., skin prick test, IgE measurement). The evidence linking nutrient status directly to allergies is mostly mechanistic or observational. Supplementing without a proven deficiency may even be counterproductive. In short: use a nutrient check as a complement, not a substitute for allergy testing.
