A comprehensive digestive wellness profile, analysing 79 markers,  specific to digestive function, nutrient breakdown, microbiome balance, intestinal health, inflammation and microbial overgrowth.

 

This profile has been streamlined to focus on the most relevant markers while remaining easy for to understand.

 

Method - Hair Analysis (a small amount of hair cut from the nape of the neck)

NO test kit is required for this test.

These factors may influence digestive comfort, energy levels, immune function, nutrient absorption, skin health, mood and overall wellbeing.

 

Please note; This profile is designed as a wellness screening tool and uses bio-resonance technology. This test is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent medical conditions. Results should be interpreted alongside symptoms, clinical history and professional guidance. For laboratory stool & microbiome analysis, see our NutriPath tests here.

 

HealthSense uses a small sample of your hair to assess a wide range of items. This is possible because hair shafts are hollow and act as storage vessels for substances carried through the bloodstream—such as antibodies, nutrients, hormones, heavy metals, and more. As these substances circulate in the body, they are deposited from the blood stream into the hair shaft, allowing them to be detected and analysed without the use of invasive testing methods such as blood testing.
