Gut Microbiome Test
£190.00Understanding your health starts with your gut. Discover the makeup of your gut microbiome and find out everything your gut isn't telling you with our convenient home sample collection kit.
Your gut microbiome consists of trillions of microbes, many of which support your overall health; however, some can be harmful. The key to good gut health is maintaining a balance between the 'good' and 'bad' bacteria. An imbalance in your gut microbiome can be linked to digestive issues, fatigue, skin irritation, food intolerances, mood changes, and obesity. By making simple changes it's possible to improve the composition of your gut microbiome.
- Measure your gut diversity with insight into the presence of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea.

Why Get Tested
Your gut is inhabited by trillions of microorganisms. Some bacterial species play an important role in maintaining good health while others can increase your risk of common diseases. Autoimmune problems, constipation, diarrhoea, weight gain, gas and indigestion can all be signs of an unhealthy gut created by an overgrowth of 'bad microbes'.
Environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors can all influence the diversity of your gut microbiome. A rich and diverse gut microbiome is usually classed as 'healthy' with an imbalance or absence of a particular species contributing to health issues including; obesity, autoimmune diseases, digestive issues and inflammation.
Our convenient gut microbiome test requires only a simple stool sample and uses advanced shotgun metagenomics to help you truly understand your gut health, identify the 'good' and 'bad' bacteria in your gut and provide recommendations to help improve your gut health and gut microbiome.
