About the IABC Institute
IABC AG operates the IABC Institute for Applied Biochemistry in Kreuzlingen and specializes in micronutrient analysis. The company offers blood, urine, saliva and stool analyses, including micronutrient status, dried blood tests using modern capillary blood systems, microbiome analysis by PCR, and specialty analyses of bone metabolism, acid-base balance, stress profiles and food intolerances. Based on the measured values and questionnaire responses, the institute produces detailed reports with individual micronutrient recommendations. Over 25 years and around 52'000 blood analyses, more than 100 different HCK® granules have been developed, which are used as individually composed micronutrient formulations. The analyses are carried out in cooperation with accredited partner laboratories and under medical supervision. Customers include end customers, therapists, physicians and resellers in the German-speaking region.
