This test is ideal if you're experiencing frequent infections, chronic digestive issues, or unexplained inflammation. It helps identify immune system deficiencies or overactivity that may be causing recurrent illnesses, food sensitivities, or autoimmune symptoms. Many people use this test when they suspect their immune system isn't functioning properly but want to understand what's happening at a deeper level.
No special preparation is typically required for an IgG test. You can eat and drink normally before your blood draw, and you don't need to fast. However, let your healthcare provider know about any medications or supplements you're taking, as some immune-suppressing drugs may affect results. Schedule your test when you're not currently fighting an acute infection for the most accurate baseline reading.
This test measures Immunoglobulin G (IgG), the most abundant antibody in your blood that protects you from infections and indicates how well your immune system is functioning. IgG levels help identify immune deficiencies that make you vulnerable to infections, chronic inflammations and autoimmune conditions, and certain blood disorders. Together with your symptoms, these measurements provide insights into whether your immune system is underactive, overactive, or functioning normally.
What this means
Your IgG levels are below the optimal range, which may indicate a weakened immune system. This could explain why you're getting sick more often or taking longer to recover from infections. Low IgG means your body has fewer antibodies available to fight off bacteria and viruses effectively.
Recommended actions
Focus on protein-rich foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, and legumes to support antibody production
Ensure adequate vitamins C, D, and zinc through diet or supplements
Get 7-9 hours of quality sleep and manage stress to support immune function
Retest in 3 months and consult an immunologist if levels remain low
