''Anti-Aging Institute'' offers Covid 19 antibody test
"Anti-Aging Institute" provides an opportunity to identify class IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. In the event of Covid-19 infection, the body develops class IgG antibodies relatively early and their presence can be detected for the longest period of time. Therefore, the test for this antibody is considered to be a reliable element of having had a Covid-19 infection.
The importance of the test:
- Covid-19 can be symptom-free(1).
- If the body has encountered a virus, it can develop antibodies over time, even if the disease was symptom-free(2).
- SARS-CoV-2 IgG test identifies the antibodies developed in the body of an infected person(3).
- The identification of antibodies helps finding out whether the particular person has been in contact with Covid19(3).
Presence of various biomarkers depending on infection phase

IgG class antibody test is a valuable diagnostic component, but it may not be used alone to confirm a history of Covid-19 infection. To establish a reliable diagnosis of the infection, a consultation of a physician is required, who will perform clinical evaluation of the patient and, if required, refer the patient for further examinations.
