Do you struggle with bloating, reflux, changeable bowel habits, wind, digestive pains, anxiety, depression, hormone imbalance, fatigue, brain fog, auto-immunity, low immunity and skin issues? These can all be signs of an imbalance in the digestive system. Stool testing can provide answers and a nutrition, lifestyle and supplement plan created to improve symptoms.
Digestive tests provide information about digestive capacity, bacterial imbalance, yeast/virus/bacterial/parasite overgrowth, parasite infection, inflammation, blood in blood and immune function.
Essentials Test Description
A clinical-grade, Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) microbiome stool test, which provides an assessment of the essential microbiome biomarkers and reports on key insights for microbiome health. This is an at home stool test with result turnaround time 14-28 days.
Includes:
- Microba Microbiome Explorer Essentials Gut test. A home test kit is supplied for the required samples
- A 60-minute nutrition, lifestyle and supplement consultation to discuss the results
Reports on 16 scientifically validated microbiome biomarkers
• Identify which species are present, their relative abundance and how this compares to a healthy cohort. 28,000 different microbe species can be identified (typical gut sample often contains between 110-250 species).
• Understand the functions these species can perform within the microbiome. Results are broken down into a full Interactive Species Explorer and into 6 health categories such as Intestinal Barrier or Intestinal Inflammation.
The results come with evidence based, actionable diet, lifestyle and supplementation insights, personalised to your results. These are discussed fully in the results consultation.
