All the markers in the microbiome test's have been critically selected in relation to the research on the role that the microbiome can play in chronic disease processes and in supporting wellness.

Your NHS or private GP may also have used stool testing with you at some point in your health journey. Those types of stool tests are focused more on acute situations e.g. to assess instances like acute food poisoning pathogens, or sometimes they may be looking for cancer or inflammation markers. Acute stool tests offered through GP’s do not look for markers associated with chronic disease or overall health, such as commensal bacteria, digestive or immune markers.

These test's have been designed to work alongside the acute tests you may have accessed already from your NHS GP. We do not look to replace your primary care tests, but to enhance your experience, and give you tools to empower you to make clearer, more informed choices around your health.
