Included in the cost of your test is advice, interpretation and support from our functional medicine team on your results. Choose package options below. Video calls are 30 minutes and you are sent a link to book your call once your results are ready.

You will be asked to fill out a patient form at checkout which will give us more information on your symptoms, current medications and supplement intake. Once your results are back from the labs our team will write up a summary of action points including supplements to correct any issues.

Our Vaginal Health test analyses your vaginal microbiome and the effects it may be having on your gynaecological health. A healthy vaginal microbiome protects against infections of the reproductive system and has impacts on fertility and menopause. An unbalanced vaginal microbiome can cause increased health risks despite often having no obvious symptoms.

This test measures levels of protective Lactobacillus bacteria, as well as microbes associated with infections such as bacterial vaginosis, aerobic vaginitis, thrush and trichomoniasis. This test helps you understand what might be the cause of a current or recurrent infection and offers guidance on building and maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome.

Test turnaround time - approx 3 weeks.
