About 5Strands

Launched in 2018, 5Strands aims to empower pets and pet owners. The brand provides affordable at-home collection kit tests that help determine any food or environmental intolerances and sensitivities in pets. 

Tests use innovative bio-resonance technology based on quantum mechanics and biophysics. The bio-resonance technology accounts for all cells in the body, such as pollens, food, bacteria, viruses, toxins, etc.
