How To Keep Your SIgA At A Healthy Level (SIgA Part 3)
This week we’ve looked at an important antibody in your body: secretory immunoglobulin A. It prevents diseases, reduces inflammation, and most importantly, keeps your gut healthy and happy.

Tests and Biomarkers for Finding your SIgA Levels
It’s good to know where your SIgA levels are. A way of judging your SIgA level is through biomarkers, naturally occurring molecules, genes, or characteristics by which a particular pathological or physiological process, disease, or condition can be identified.
Here are some other tests to try and biomarkers to pay attention to:
Doctor's Data Comprehensive x3 Parasitology (this will give you a direct number of SIgA and SCFAs, the other tests are used as estimates for SIgA levels)
You can order all these tests here.
