When you suffer from irregularities or discomfort, you do not want to wait longer than necessary for clarity about the cause. The Calprotectin test from The Tester offers you a reliable way to discreetly investigate at home whether there is an inflammatory response in your intestines, so that you can take the next step in your health journey with concrete information.

- High reliability due to a sensitivity and specificity of 95%, which gives you the certainty of an accurate result.
- Easy and hygienic to perform yourself in the familiar environment of your own home with the included collection tube.

How it works
The test focuses on measuring calprotectin in the stool. This is a specific protein that is released when white blood cells are present in the intestinal wall in response to inflammation. By detecting this protein, the test acts as an important indicator for the presence of inflammatory responses that can be caused by infections, food intolerances, or chronic bowel diseases. It offers a scientifically substantiated method to proactively monitor your gut health.
