The Healthy Bacteria Company
Personalised Gut Microbiome Profiling
What is a Personalised Gut Microbiome Profile?
We believe that improving your gut microbiota will lead to improved health. Your microbiome is linked to a range of conditions affecting the gut including obesity, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), colon cancer, constipation; other body systems including cardiovascular health, diabetes, allergies, auto-immune diseases and even mental health and diseases of aging such as Parkinson’s disease.
At the Healthy Bacteria Company we are actively involved in researching the impact of the microbiome on health.
