Gut Microbiome Test – For Patients in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar & GCC
Are you based in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, or Oman and looking for a reliable, medically-supervised gut microbiome test? We offer an advanced, Department of Health–licensed gut microbiome test with full international support — including shipping and return via FedEx, and a face-to-face or tele consult with a Consultant Gastroenterologist and Dietitian.
Unlike many services that send samples abroad or provide automated reports, we provide a premium, clinically interpreted test with both a Gastroenterologist and a microbiome-trained dietitian.
