Results in 10–15 working days
This home stool assessment analyses the microorganisms living within your digestive tract, providing information on microbial diversity, key bacterial groups and functional characteristics of your gut microbiome. Results are interpreted alongside your symptoms, diet, medications, lifestyle and medical history, recognising that the science of the microbiome is rapidly evolving and that findings should not be interpreted in isolation. Your report can help guide conversations around diet, lifestyle and, where appropriate, further clinical investigation.
