Understanding what is actually happening in your gut is the first step to doing something about it. Most people know that gut health matters; far fewer have ever seen the data behind their own.
The Loving Foods Gut Composition Test gives you a detailed breakdown of the bacterial landscape in your gut microbiome. It measures the levels of selected beneficial and problematic bacterial strains, explains what each one does, and shows you whether your gut is in balance or showing signs of disruption.
What the test measures:
- Beneficial ('good') bacteria — the most well-researched strains with documented roles in gut health
- Opportunistic and pathogenic ('bad') bacteria — common problematic strains, plus bacteria that are present in everyone but become a concern when their numbers rise disproportionately
- Overall gut balance — rising levels of certain bacteria are a recognised marker for poor gut health, even before symptoms become obvious
Why the distinction matters:
Some bacteria are harmful in any quantity. Others are normal residents that only become a problem when they crowd out the beneficial strains. The test is designed to show both — so you can see not just what is present, but whether the balance is shifting in the wrong direction.
What you receive:
- A quantified breakdown of bacterial levels across selected markers
- An explanation of each strain and its effects on gut health
- Results emailed directly to you within 10 working days of the lab receiving your sample
- A useful baseline for monitoring the impact of dietary or lifestyle changes over time
A sample report is available to view before you order, so you know exactly what you are getting.
