Lectins are proteins found in many plant-based foods, often described as “defensive proteins” that protect their host organisms. Consumption of lectins can have adverse effects, ranging from minor digestive issues to severe autoimmune diseases. Lectin sensitivity can cause fatigue, skin rashes, joint pain, and other chronic symptoms, making it hard to diagnose the root of the issue. Vibrant Wellness offers lab testing to better understand how the body responds to these proteins, explained in this comprehensive article about how lectins can affect the body and how Vibrant Wellness Lectin Zoomer panel tests can help.
Examining the Different Types of Lectins and Aquaporins
The Lectin Zoomer panel tests for both lectins and aquaporins, two important proteins found in plants and animals, respectively. While lectins are found in a variety of grains, tomatoes, and other common food sources, the sugar-binding proteins often bind to human epithelial cells, helping endotoxins cross the barrier into tissues and causing damage. Aquaporins are water channels that can cross-react with human aquaporins, leading to neurological symptoms like Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and autism.

Why Self-Test with Vibrant Wellness Lectin Zoomer?
The Lectin Zoomer health test can provide answers on what’s causing chronic symptoms, helping to root out the cause rather than treating the symptoms alone. Discovering more about sensitivity to these proteins can also help lower the risk of developing major diseases like autoimmune diseases, celiac disease, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.
Gain a Comprehensive Picture of Lectin Sensitivity
The Vibrant Wellness Lectin Zoomer is a combination of two tests. Not just a long list of lectins but also aquaporins that can increase risk of neuro-autoimmune disorders. With this panel, the most comprehensive understanding of one’s sensitivity to these common proteins is provided. It goes beyond standard food sensitivity tests, as it focuses on lectin components of food. For example, results can show that a person has no issue with corn but is sensitive to some components of it.
Harness Home Lab Testing
Vibrant Wellness is a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited company, meaning the results of these tests can be trusted. All that is needed is a blood sample, and the panel can be completed from the comfort of one’s own home.
