Your Health Where It Belongs... Your Hands

Alzheimer's LINX-Cyrex Kit:

Note: This is a test kit that will be mailed to you. It requires a blood draw. It is your responsibility to arrange the blood draw for your kit and payment of your specimen collection.


Coupon Codes not valid for this testing.
Fasting Required: No
Lab: Cyrex Laboratories
Specimen: Serum
Results: Average processing time 14 business days
Note: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.

Special Instructions: Are there any medications, foods, conditions, or other factors that could interfere with the results of a Cyrex test? Yes. While Cyrex is unable to provide an exhaustive answer to this question due to the interactive complexities and varieties of medications and patient circumstances, the following has been noted:
  • Immunosuppressant and corticosteroid drugs can reduce antibody production and cause false negative results.
  • Eating a high fat meal prior to your blood draw can cause your serum specimen to be lipemic. Lipemic specimens are rejected by Cyrex Labs.
  • Wait at least 60 days after the completion of steroids to do testing. It takes this period of time for the medication to clear the system and allow the normalized production of antibodies, required for immune testing, to resume.
  • Patients should consult with their HCP regarding any questions or concerns they may have.


Notice: Shipments should be sent Monday through Thursday.

Description: Alzheimer's LINX makes it easier to see the route of pathogenesis leading to cognitive decline, and devise strategies to stop it. By addressing Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) breakdown, identifying and removing triggers and enhancing neuronal regeneration, one might be able to win the war on cognitive decline.

Clinical Use:
  • To identify patients at greater risk for developing Alzheimer's disease or other neurological disorders.
  • To identify reactivity to triggers of Alzheimer's disease or other neurological disorder.
  • To identify the early stage of neurodegenerative processes.
  • To monitor the effectiveness of lifestyle modifications for Alzheimer's disease.

Recommended For Patients Who:
  • Are interested in preventing the development of Alzheimer's disease or other neurological disorder.
  • Are exhibiting early signs of Alzheimer's disease or other neurological disorder.
  • Have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
  • Have a history of gastrointestinal disorders and/or diabetes.
  • Played high-impact sports.
  • Are immunoreactive against specific pathogens, chemicals and foods.
