Gut Health Premium est un test de laboratoire de nouvelle génération qui permet d'analyser la flore intestinale et de vous aider à prévenir des troubles tels que l'obésité, le diabète, la constipation et les troubles intestinaux.
Gut Health Premium is the next-generation laboratory test that analyses your gut microbiome and helps you prevent conditions such as obesity, diabetes, constipation and gut discomfort.
Trillions of bacterial cells live in your gut; we call this the microbiome.
This amounts to around 2 kg of bacteria, which play a vital role in your health and wellbeing, because:
- They help with the digestion of food;
- They help maintain the immune system;
- They prevent infections;
- They synthesise essential nutrients such as vitamins K and B12 and certain amino acids.

Shotgun technology enables the sequencing of all microbial DNA present in a faecal sample, allowing the identification of bacteria, archaea, fungi, yeasts and eukaryotic parasites, with resolution down to species level.
This approach offers a comprehensive and integrated view of the gut ecosystem, overcoming the limitations of conventional methodologies.
Essential
The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that interacts with multiple systems within the body.
Assessing its diversity, balance and microbial richness provides essential information on the stability and resilience of the gut environment, contextualised by comparison with healthy reference populations.
Relevant to clinical practice
Analysis of the gut microbiome provides detailed information on the composition and functional potential of this ecosystem, offering relevant data to support a more integrated and personalised clinical and nutritional approach.
In addition to taxonomic characterisation, the report includes an analysis of the microbiome’s functional potential, including metabolic pathways involved in the production of bioactive metabolites.
Reliable
Analysis carried out in a certified and licensed clinical pathology laboratory, specialising in molecular and genetic pathology, subject to rigorous quality control, ensuring consistent, reproducible and scientifically robust results.
