Gut microbiome testing: A powerful tool in preventive medicine, capable of identifying imbalances before they develop into diseases. This is because gut microbiota are influenced by various environmental factors, such as diet, aging, lifestyle, and medication use.

For instance, the test can reveal whether you consume excessive processed meats, sugary foods, or high-fat diets. If such habits persist, they may lead to disease, as an imbalanced gut microbiota produces harmful metabolites that negatively impact your health.

On the other hand, improving gut microbiota balance offers numerous health benefits, including:

• Enhanced production of short-chain fatty acids
• Synthesis of essential vitamins B and K
• Regulation of bacterial overgrowth
• Strengthened immune system
