We’ve all seen pictures of the red COVID virus with its protein spikes — those dastardly things that attach to our cells, allowing the virus to invade and reproduce so quickly it overwhelms our immune system and makes us sick…or worse.

Neutralizing antibodies, says Dr. Kevin Rosenblatt, MD, PhD, stop the spikes from attaching in the first place — just as the vaccines and monoclonal antibodies are designed to do.

But the problem is, science doesn’t know how long those antibodies last or how well they protect you from getting another COVID infection.

Fortunately, the Neutralizing Anti-Body Test (NAB) is a cost-efficient, fast, and accurate way to tell how well your body is making the antibodies that control the COVID virus.

All antibodies & antibody tests are not the same

Even doctors can be confused by this. Just to make it more confusing: you can develop antibodies to the entire virus or to just the virus’ spike.

Many antibody tests don’t test for spike proteins, and even the spike-protein tests may not tell if the antibodies you have are the ones that block COVID from replicating.
