Why families choose Alba

Why families choose Alba

  • ★★★★★

    The insight I gained into my children’s gut health has been invaluable. It brought clarity to things that were hard to understand and that our healthcare centre couldn’t really help with, and it inspired us to make changes that actually feel simple and doable. Worth every single penny!

    Patrizia, Verified Customer

    My daughter had the Alba gut health test done and genuinely it’s been amazing. I suffer with health anxiety so I was slightly apprehensive about doing this, but genuinely after getting the results back I actually feel SO much better knowing what’s actually going on in her gut. I had a call with Tanya our nutritionist and it was SO insightful and she gave me a full plan of action and a certain probiotic to help with my daughter. I’m so glad I done this test. I’m going to do my boys next!

    Daisy, Verified Customer

    I ordered the test for my daughter, who’s almost seven, as a preventive measure. Everything went smoothly — the report was clear and easy to access, and the consultation with the nutritionist was incredibly valuable. I really hope more parents do this and find the motivation to make changes that give their children the healthy start they need on their food journey.
