Everything you want to know about ImuPro.

ImuPro tests your blood for IgG antibodies against specific food proteins — up to 270 foods depending on the panel you choose. An elevated IgG response to a food indicates your immune system is recognising that food as a threat and mounting a delayed inflammatory response. This is distinct from classical IgE allergy (immediate reactions like hives or anaphylaxis). ImuPro detects the delayed, hidden type of food reactivity that standard allergy tests miss entirely.

Standard allergy tests (skin prick tests, IgE blood tests) detect IgE-mediated reactions — the immediate, classic type. These cause symptoms within minutes. IgG reactions are delayed, appearing 2–72 hours after eating the trigger food. By the time symptoms appear, you've had multiple other meals — making the dietary connection nearly impossible to identify without a blood test. Standard tests simply don't measure IgG antibodies. ImuPro does.

Yes. IgG-mediated food reactions are a well-documented immunological phenomenon. The ELISA methodology used in ImuPro is the gold standard in immunological diagnostics. R-Biopharm AG's RIDASCREEN® plates are ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified, and all reagents are IVD-CE approved. The relationship between elevated IgG and chronic inflammatory symptoms has been the subject of extensive clinical research over the past two decades. While debate exists in some corners of conventional medicine about the interpretation of IgG results, the practical clinical evidence — and thousands of patient outcomes — speaks clearly.

It depends on your symptoms and your diet. For a first-time test with straightforward symptoms, ImuPro Basic (90 foods) is the most popular starting point. For complex, long-standing, or wide-ranging symptoms, ImuPro Complete (270 foods) leaves nothing to chance. If you're vegetarian or vegan, ImuPro Vegetarian is specifically designed for plant-based diets. Not sure?

No fasting is required. The ImuPro test measures IgG antibodies in your blood serum — these are part of your immune memory and are present regardless of what you've eaten recently. You can eat and drink normally before your sample collection appointment.

Yes — ImuPro is available pan-India. Blood sample collection can be arranged in Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and many more cities. Contact us on 8800929600 to confirm availability in your city. A trained, certified phlebotomist comes to your home at a time that suits you — no clinic visit required.

Just 5ml — roughly one teaspoon. This is a small venous blood draw, typically from the inner arm. The draw takes about five minutes. Most patients describe it as a very minor pinch. The phlebotomist is trained and certified, and the process is smooth and professional.

Your serum is dispatched to R-Biopharm AG's certified laboratory in Germany via FedEx International Priority Cargo, with cold chain maintained throughout. ImuPro's test uses RIDASCREEN® ELISA plates that are manufactured and quality-controlled at R-Biopharm's German facility. Testing at the source ensures the most accurate, reproducible results — and maintains the integrity of the 18-year science behind ImuPro.

Approximately 3–4 weeks from sample collection to results. This includes courier transit to Germany, laboratory processing, report preparation, and nutritional strategy development. Your counselling session is scheduled within 48 hours of results being available. We know the wait feels long — but this is one of those tests where the quality of the result is worth every day.

RED (Elevated IgG): Eliminate this food completely for at least 8 weeks. Your immune system is mounting a significant reaction. YELLOW (Borderline): Reduce consumption and monitor symptoms. These foods may be problematic in quantity. GREEN (No significant reaction): Safe to eat freely — no measurable IgG elevation. Your counselling session will walk you through every result in practical, everyday terms.

Every ImuPro test includes a personalised nutritional strategy built specifically around your results — not a template, but a real plan. It covers what to eliminate, what to reduce, what alternatives to use in Indian cooking, and a rotation diet framework for the reintroduction phase. The counselling session is a one-on-one call with a registered nutritionist who walks through your results, answers every question, and makes sure you leave with a clear, actionable plan. This is included in the cost — not an add-on.

Often, yes. After a full elimination phase (typically 8–12 weeks), many foods can be reintroduced in a structured rotation protocol — meaning you eat them periodically rather than daily. Your nutritionist will guide the reintroduction process. Some foods with very high IgG levels may need a longer elimination before reintroduction is attempted.

Most patients notice meaningful improvement within 4–8 weeks of strict elimination. If you're not seeing changes, it's worth reviewing whether the elimination has been truly strict (hidden sources of trigger foods are common — hidden dairy and gluten in packaged foods, for instance). Your nutritionist is available for follow-up support. In some cases, a broader panel may be recommended if the initial test didn't cover all potential triggers.

Yes. ImuPro is suitable for children aged 2 and above. A small blood draw is required — the process is the same as for adults. Many parents pursue ImuPro for children with chronic digestive issues, eczema, recurrent ear infections, or attention and behaviour concerns. All elimination protocols for children are age-appropriate and supervised by a nutritionist.

ImuPro is a blood test — the main consideration is that the blood draw is possible. If you're on immunosuppressant medication, the results may be altered as your immune response is artificially suppressed. Let us know about any medications when you book, and we'll advise accordingly. There are no dietary restrictions before the test.

No — ImuPro is a diagnostic tool, not a medical consultation. Your results should be reviewed with your doctor or healthcare provider, particularly if you have an underlying medical condition. ImuPro complements your healthcare team by providing specific dietary information that most GPs don't have the tools to investigate. We encourage sharing your report with your doctor.
