This test is the ultimate gut health and microbiome stool test using qPCR & ELISA technology. It examines key microbial targets and health markers to inform and assess the individual’s microbial ecosystem and health status.
The microbes in our gut play a crucial role in our health. When out of balance, chronic symptoms can occur - it is thought that 90% of disease is due to poor gut health!
