Blue Mussel IgG | Blue Mussel Intolerance


The Blue Mussel IgG blood test measures the level of IgG antibodies directed against blue mussel proteins in your blood. Elevated IgG levels may suggest a delayed food sensitivity, which can sometimes be linked to symptoms such as bloating, stomach discomfort, headaches, or skin concerns. This test is useful for individuals who regularly consume shellfish and want to better understand how their body responds to it. Results can help guide dietary choices in consultation with a healthcare professional.
