  3. The individual scores for each biomarker also ranks you against a healthy population  
  4. If you are taking any medication, a review of how these medications may be impacting your health, and interacting with the food in your diet and the supplements you may be taking

  4. A set of recommendations on how you may want to change your lifestyle
  1. A few days after you receive your results and plan your first pack arrives
  2. Daily sachet of Probiotics, Essential Nutrients and Amino Acids delivered to your door as a 30-day easy to use and sustainably packaged box

  3. Your results will show you the areas that you have improved and those which may need a little bit more work
  4. As long as you remain a subscriber you will receive a test kit every 6 months
  5. If you don't feel that the plan is working, you can opt out and pay no more after the second test – but we think this is very unlikely

Why do we test?

Testing your gut microbiome and metabolic health provides a comprehensive view of your well-being, identifying imbalances and risks. From this, we tailor a Precision Nutrition Plan to enhance digestion, immunity, energy levels, longevity, and overall health.

Combining the data provides a complete picture of your health:

  • Microbiome tests reveal the composition of gut bacteria, which can influence digestion, metabolism, and immune function
  • Metabolic tests assess how efficiently you gut converts food into energy, amino acids and fatty acids and how they are used by the body
  • Your personal lifestyle assessment information helps contextualise the biological data

And guides targeted interventions:

  • Your personalised mix of Probiotics, Essential Nutrients and Amino Acids to target the deficiencies and issues your test data uncovers
  • Precision Nutrition Plan which includes food lists and nutrition recommendations

Progress is monitored with periodic retesting and the Precision Nutrition plan updated, leading to sustained health improvements.

Lifestyle

Our tests offer detailed insights into your gut bacteria and metabolic processes, guiding us to the foods and supplements that benefit your body most. By integrating lifestyle data, such as your daily habits, diet, exercise, and sleep patterns, we create a comprehensive picture of your health.

Lifestyle

This assessment combines with your test results to provide a comprehensive view of where you are today and guides our recommendations. 

General health: measures factors such as weight, height, and body composition. 

Medical History: medical conditions, medications, and supplements. 

Dietary Habits: typical daily food intake, meal patterns, and any dietary restrictions, likes, dislikes, food allergies or intolerances. 

Lifestyle Factors: physical activity levels, sleep patterns, stress levels, and other lifestyle factors that can impact your health.

Gut Microbiome

Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs): Help maintain the health of the gut lining, playing a role in reducing inflammation, regulating blood sugar levels, and supporting immune function.

Gas Producing Microbes: The presence and levels of microbes producing gases reflects the balance and health of the gut microbiome. Understanding which microbes are producing gas can help tailor dietary recommendations to reduce symptoms like bloating and discomfort. 

Microbiota Diversity: A diverse microbiota is often associated with a healthy gut, which can prevent various diseases and a robust immune system.. Low diversity is linked to conditions like obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Metabolism

Methylation Sufficiency:  Proper methylation ensures your genes are turned on or off as needed, affecting overall health and is linked to neurotransmitter production, impacting mood and cognitive function.

Dysbiosis Markers: Metabolites from gut microbiota to correlate imbalances which can affect overall health, nutrient absorption and digestion. 

Functional vitamins and minerals to identify specific deficiencies.

Amino acid insufficiencies may lead to health issues, including fatigue, muscle weakness, and compromised immune response.

Oxidative damage, caused by an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants, contributes to aging and chronic diseases.

Mitochondrial energy production is essential for cellular health and overall well-being, with dysfunctions linked to various diseases.

What's in your Precision Health Plan?

Our AI analyses thousands of data points from your biology and lifestyle to develop 36 microbiome, metabolic and lifestyle markers.

Overall health score

Overall health score

Benchmarked against the population – a simple way to see where you are today and track yourself in the future.

Each marker is benchmarked and reported

Each marker is benchmarked and reported

Each with a plain language description of what it is, why it’s important, and what we will do with it. These scores guide our recommendations and enable you to track progress with each periodic retest.

Personal Supplement Mix

Personal Supplement Mix

Targeted to improve your gut, metabolic health aligned to your lifestyle. This is the mix you will receive monthly packaged in an easy to use daily sachet.

Food Lists and Nutrition Guidance

Food Lists and Nutrition Guidance

The focus is on sustaining the healthy habits and introducing targeted foods and supplements tailored to your unique health markers and lifestyle.

Personalised supplements

The supplements and vitamins in your daily sachet are selected from clinically proven products sourced from the world's leading active ingredient manufacturers. The mix is defined in your plan based on your test and lifestyle data. 

As your body changes as does its needs and your mix may also change over time. Your periodic vivaBALANCE tests will inform us if your program needs adjustment.

Probiotics tailored to you
 

Bacteria are often associated with disease, making the idea of consuming billions daily for health benefits seem unappealing. 

However, probiotics, or “good” bacteria, help balance your gut microbiome by protecting against harmful bacteria and improving nutrient absorption.

vivaLAB has formulated a number of probiotics with bacteria that positively influence your gut such as different strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium

Below are probiotics that you may see in your personalised wellness plan:

Essential nutrients formulated to maximise absorption

Vitamins and minerals, also known as micronutrients, are essential for numerous bodily functions, including bone health, wound healing, and immune support. 

vivaLAB micronutrients are formulated to maximise absorption based on the complex ways they interact, such as Vitamin D aiding calcium absorption, and Vitamin K2 helping target the Calcium to your bones.

Below are essential nutrients that you may see in your personalised wellness plan:

Amino Acids, the building blocks of the proteins in your body

Amino acids are compounds that play many critical roles in your body such as building proteins, hormones, and neurotransmitters. 

As you age, your body finds it harder to make its own amino-acid and others are only found in your foods.  

Taking individual amino acids, rather than general blends may help support certain aspects of health, such as anxiety and mood, improve athletic performance or manage certain health indications.

Below are amino acids you might find in your personalised welness plan:

  • L-Theranine 
  • Acytl-L-Carnitine 
  • Creatine
