Discover what’s happening inside your gut

at a genetic level

Gain deeper insight into your gut health with our advanced DNA-based microbiome test, designed to follow on from your Food Intolerance Test.
This advanced test analyses the DNA of microorganisms in your gut to give you a detailed picture of your microbiome. By
identifying the genetic material of bacteria and other microbes in your stool sample, it provides accurate, science-led insights into the balance and activity of your gut environment. And helps to provide a more detailed and personalised insight into your gut health.

Why test your Gut Microbiome?

Balance

Gut Function

How well your gut is performing key functions

Big Impact

Patterns linked to wider health and wellbeing
