Roseburia spp.

Roseburia spp. are beneficial, anaerobic bacteria belonging to the Firmicutes phylum and are common residents of the healthy human gut. These bacteria are recognised for their ability to produce butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that serves as a vital energy source for colonocytes and helps to reduce inflammation in the gut. A well-balanced level of Roseburia is often associated with better metabolic health, improved gut barrier function, and a lower risk of inflammatory disorders. Decreased levels have been linked to conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
