What is the purpose of this test?
The Kryptopyrrole Test helps measure the level of kryptopyrrole, a neurotoxin, in urine. High levels of kryptopyrrole can bind with important nutrients like Vitamin B6 and zinc, causing them to be used up faster than normal and preventing their proper function in the body and brain.
When kryptopyrrole levels are too high, it can lead to deficiencies in these essential nutrients, which may contribute to various health conditions. This test is commonly used to help understand health issues linked to autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, alcoholism, and Down syndrome.

- Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
