In-depth analysis of gut flora
The gut microbiome test small is a comprehensive analysis offered by GetTested. It evaluates 13 distinct bacteria and 4 common yeasts in the gut. Notably, an imbalance, such as an overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria or a deficit of beneficial ones, can lead to health complications. Additionally, research has linked gut flora imbalances to serious diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
Key bacterial and yeast strains analyzed
This test examines:
- Beneficial bacteria: like bifidobacterium and lactobacillus, crucial for digestion, vitamin production, and infection prevention.
- Potentially harmful bacteria: including clostridium, klebsiella, and escherichia coli, which can cause infections under certain conditions.
- Yeast varieties: such as candida spp and candida albicans, usually harmless but can lead to infections if overgrown.
Who should consider the micriobiome test?
The microbiome test is ideal for those with mild gut issues or a keen interest in optimizing their health. It's also suitable for individuals with conditions linked to gut flora, like depression, autism, parkinson’s, or alzheimer’s. For more severe gut problems, consider our more comprehensive tests.
This test is not suitable for babies or children below the age of 6 years old.
Understanding gut bacteria functions
Moreover, gut bacteria play a pivotal role in our health, feeding cells, regulating inflammation, and comprising a system as intricate as our immunity. Therefore, analyzing fecal matter can shed light on the microbes in your gut and their impact on your health.

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.
