THIS IS FOR YOU IF

You've had the blood tests. Tried cutting out gluten. Taken the probiotics.

Skin conditions – acne, eczema or skin flares – can have a gut origin.

The gut-skin axis is one of the most studied areas in microbiome research. When certain bacteria are low or missing, the immune system struggles to stay regulated and can cause inflammatory reactions in the skin.

3. Restore

Follow a plan built around your data: food, supplements and daily habits, all specific to you.

4. Track

A second test shows what's changed, and sets what comes next.

Why families choose Alba

★★★★★
My eight‑month‑old daughter was struggling with atopic dermatitis – her little face was constantly red, and she had eczema patches on her body. Topical creams left me feeling helpless. When we received her gut microbiome analysis from Alba Health, the team discovered she was missing a key bacterial strain. They recommended a targeted prebiotic supplement and guided us through adjustments to her diet. Within just ten days, her skin was completely clear!

Whilst educating myself about cures for my daughter’s eczema, I discovered information from a few sources about the importance of targeting the gut microbiome. That’s when I came across Alba Health. The microbiome analysis report helped me work on key areas of my daughter’s nutrition and the follow-up consultation with the nutritionist was extremely helpful and paramount for further guidance. I would recommend this service to anyone.

It was very interesting to receive an analysis of my gut flora, along with tools to hopefully improve it over time. I received both written and verbal feedback from knowledgeable dietitians. I now have a better understanding of how certain foods affect the body and what can be important to keep in mind.
