GUT HEALTH IS VITAL TO OVERALL HEALTH.
All disease begins in the gut Hippocrates c.400 BC.
HOW HEALTHY IS YOUR GUT?
When it comes to your body, your gut is at the epicenter of the action. So, it’s no surprise really, when something isn’t quite right in your gut, it can affect many aspects of your physical and mental health. Gut health testing is a great way to get to know your gut better.
Gut health is vital to overall health. Dysbiosis (a microbial imbalance of the gut) will often lead to a vast array of modern illnesses. On the other hand, a healthy gut, will keep your immune system strong fighting off pathogens including COVID-19, improve absorption of nutrients resulting in better overall health and less chance of deficiencies.
Your gut can be responsible for many aspects of physical and mental health. Bacteria in the gut contribute to many functions of the body. When something isn’t right in the gut, it naturally affects many other parts of the body.
TECHNICAL
There are 30,000,000,000,000 or 103 bacteria cells in the human gut from approximately 1,952 species of bacteria. That’s 10 times more bacteria cells in the gut than human cells in the body!
To put 103 bacteria cells into perspective, if each cell were a 1p coin, you could stack them on top of each other and reach the moon and back… 200 times!
The gut microbiota is a work horse at converting food into essential nutrients, vitamins, hormones, neurochemicals and other metabolites that the body needs.
Innovative testing has been developed at NeoVos to analyse key gut biomarkers called Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs), thereby measuring the performance of your gut based on the influence of good bacteria and their abundance.
We offer 3 different gut tests: Compositional Gut Test, Functional Gut Test & Advanced Gut Test:
COMPOSITIONAL GUT TEST
The Compositional Gut Test quantifies the total amount of bacteria in the gut as well as the levels of key beneficial bacteria and the most common problematic bacteria.

I wanted to ask if you will recommend which foods to eat and not to eat depending on the results ? Would you be able to clarify what kind of dietary and lifestyle advice you recommend at the end ? Thank you
