The PFAS Chemical Test monitors exposure to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals, commonly called ‘PFAS.’ PFAS are used to make fluoropolymer coatings and products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease, and water. PFAS are found in the air, soil, and water, and in everyday consumer goods.
Why this test is important
Exposure to PFAS is constant in modern society. PFAS bioaccumulation (build up) can increase the risk of long-term harms.
Toxins can bioaccumulate and persist in the body for decades, breaking down slowly or not at all. Toxic build-up can impair detoxification, compromise immunity, and increase oxidative stress.
Testing for PFAS can reveal the status of toxic metabolites in the body.
The PFAS Chemical Test will aid in identifying toxicity from environmental sources.
Knowing your PFAS exposure level is the first step to reducing toxic risk and creating a personalized detox and wellness plan to achieve better health.
Altered risk of asthma, allergies, and altered antibody response to infections and vaccines
Changes in puberty timing, sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and diabetes risk
Changes in body weight, size, and growth
Changes in bone mineral content and density
Changes in risk of cardiac events
Increased risk of kidney disease
Increased risk of kidney, testicular, pancreatic, breast, and other types of cancers
Skin irritation and sensitization
Increased inflammation and increased oxidative stress
Changes in DNA methylation
Increased cell toxicity and cell mortality

*Regulatory Statement*
Vibrant testing does not demonstrate absolute positive and negative predictive values for any disease state or condition. Its clinical utility has not been fully established. Vibrant validates the accuracy and precision of the testing but not of its clinical or diagnostic value. So these tests are for wellness and informational purpose only. Vibrant is actively doing clinical research on these samples, de-identified from patients under an IRB and will make research publications towards the same as and when the clinical utility is well established. These tests have been laboratory developed and their performance characteristics determined by Vibrant America LLC, a CLIA-certified laboratory performing the test CLIA#:05D2078809. The test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although FDA does not currently clear or approve laboratory-developed tests in the U.S., certification of the laboratory is required under CLIA to ensure the quality and validity of the tests.
