What's included
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is essential for bone strength as it helps the intestines absorb calcium. Calcium and vitamin D play a critical role in developing and maintaining your overall bone health, and when you don’t get enough you increase your risk of developing osteoporosis and the incidence of stress fractures.
This vitamin D test measures:
Magnesium
Ferritin (Iron Stores)
This ferritin test is a measure of how much iron you have stored in your body. Low ferritin can be a sign of anaemia caused by iron deficiency. This test can also be used to investigate iron overload syndrome (haemochromatosis) which is an inherited condition where your body cannot remove excess iron.
Total B12 & Folate
This blood test helps identify nutritional deficiencies or absorption issues that may contribute to anaemia, fatigue or cognitive changes.
Zinc
Test instructions
Fast from all food and drink (other than water) for at least 8 hours, and no more than 12 hours prior to your test.
Consider ceasing nutritional supplements (particularly biotin) for 3 days before the test.

Essential Fatty Acids Test
4 tests included
$95 AUD
Your body can't make omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids and these must come from the food you eat. These essential fatty acids play a critical role in brain function, and immune and inflammation responses.
Gut Health Test
71 tests included
$469 AUD
There are medical explanations and labels for many gut problems, but the big exception is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Since many gut disorders have similar symptoms to IBS, ruling out a more serious underlying gut disease is an important first step.
Nutrition Assessment

After receiving the results of your stool test, you may want to consider a nutritional assessment of your results by our dietician.
