Gut Health Test

A healthy gut is key in digestion. It makes possible the use of nutrients from food and rids the body of waste and harmful substances. The ability to digest and absorb nutrients from food effectively is one of the cornerstones of good health. Poor gut function can contribute to symptoms associated with digestive disorders.

The microorganisms in your gut, such as bacteria, yeast and moulds make up a unique ecological environment. The Gut Health Test helps check the status of your gut health by providing an ecological profile of the microorganisms present in the gut, giving information and guidance on changing your lifestyle to improve digestive health.

The Gut Health Test is a quick and easy 100% home test that delivers reliable laboratory test results within just 15 days, all from the comfort of your home.
