Clinical Integration: Combining Array 20 with Other Functional
Assessments
For comprehensive evaluation of brain health and function, Array
20 can be strategically combined with other functional testing
modalities:
Complementary Cyrex Arrays
Array 2: Intestinal Antigenic Permeability Screen
Identifies gut barrier dysfunction that often precedes BBB
compromise through the gut-brain axis [133, 134]
Array 7X: Neurological Autoimmunity Screen
Detects autoantibodies against neural tissues that may develop
secondary to BBB dysfunction [135, 136]
Array 10-90: Multiple Food Immune Reactivity Screen
Identifies food triggers that may drive systemic inflammation
affecting the BBB [137, 138]
Array 11: Chemical Immune Reactivity Screen
Assesses immune reactions to environmental chemicals that may
compromise BBB integrity [139, 140]
Complementary Functional Assessments
Organic Acids Testing
Provides metabolic markers of oxidative stress, mitochondrial
dysfunction, and neurotransmitter imbalances [141, 142]
Inflammatory Marker Panels
Measures systemic inflammatory mediators that may influence BBB
integrity [143, 144]
