SORRY! Nutricentric.com is being totally overhauled at present
In the meantime, here’s a brief idea of what we’re about.
As the name suggests, the focus is on managing and reversing health issues through focus on nutrition. In a world of contradictory information, we are big believers in using diagnostics as an objective way to guide the journey. Nutricentric Healthcare distributes diagnostics throughout the island of Ireland mainly to pharmacies and nutrition professionals.
The range covers food sensitivity diagnostics, Vitamin D (having the appropriate level of Vitamin D isn’t achieved by giving everyone the same dose of Vitamin D3 supplements), monitoring of Intraocular Pressure, blood lipids (the 4 “cholesterols”) and HbA1c (to detect pre-diabetes). And of course, we have professional COVID-19 tests for Antigen (e.g. EU COVID-travel cert), IgG antibodies (prior infection) or Neutralizing Antibodies (NAb – to check how the effect of vaccines is holding up). And more.
Where available, we choose tests that are certified by global benchmarking agencies such as DEQAS (for Vit D), NGSP (for HbA1c), WHO (for Neutralizing COVID Antibodies). And we aim to keep it all affordable. If you have questions, please give me a shout at peter@www.nutricentric.com

| Food Detective Professional | The basis of a food Elimination-Rechallenge protocol in IgG-mediated food sensitivity reactions. This requires a fingerprick blood sample and uses ELISA (the leading antibody detection lab method) to detect antibodies against over 50 foods. And it can do this in as little as 40 minutes | 1-test (trial size) & 5-test practitioner pack |
| Rapi-D | This DEQAS-benchmarked fingerprick test is equally quick and gives a quantitative reading of the Vitamin D (as 25-hydroxyvitamin D) level in blood. This allows a tailored calculation of the supplement dose needed to achieve Sufficient levels. |
25-test pack |
| EasyTon | This remarkable pen device gives accurate readings of intraocular pressure (IOP) without having to touch the eyeball. Instead it sends and receives microvibrations through the upper eyelid. This protects the eye and allows more frequent measurements. It also ushers in the possibility to monitor the effect of exercise, alcohol and foods on IOP. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. It’s worth screening for and very much worth managing well. |

| GluCoA1c | Related to eye health, this longer-term measurement of blood sugar levels helps detect pre-diabetes, which already increases the risk of diabetes. However, it’s easier to prevent than to reverse. This test is benchmarked by NGSP. Test strips plus meter. | Meter & strips |
| QuCare | Another rapid fingerprick test. In this case, one test strip yields the “4 cholesterols” – total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides. New updated version coming early 2022. In the meantime, we also have the simple self-check strip to measure total cholesterol. |

| TestNOW Antigen Test | EU-certified and approved test for issuing the COVID travel cert. One of the easiest nasal tests to use. Packs of 25 tests. SOPs etc available. |

| TestNOW IgG Test | Fingerprick test to check for prior COVID infection. Not everyone who suffers COVID shows measurable IgG, but if you do, you had COVID (or post-vaccination exposure to COVID) |
25 tests |
| TestNOW NAb (Neutralizing Antibody) Test | This fingerprick test is benchmarked against the WHO standard for Neutralizing Antibodies when used quantitatively. It specifically detects antibodies against Spike Protein i.e. those produced by COVID vaccines. A good way to see how/that your vaccine worked and how/that it’s still working e.g. is it time for a booster? | 25 tests |
