THIS IS FOR YOU IF

You've been living with symptoms and still don't have a real explanation.

Most teens have already googled it, tried a product or two, maybe changed how they eat. You've been to the GP and heard "it's hormones" or "they'll grow out of it." What no one has done is look at what's actually happening inside.

Eczema & acne

IBS & bloating

Fatigue & low energy

Mood & focus

Skin flare-ups in teenagers can sometimes be linked to the gut.

The gut microbiome plays a role in the immune responses behind both eczema and acne. Hormonal changes during puberty affect the skin – but they can also shift the gut microbiome, which is why the two often arrive together. Alba identifies what's happening in your teen's specific microbiome and whether the gut may be part of the picture.

THE GUT BALANCE JOURNEY

Understanding is the first step.

Restoring takes time to confirm.

Cutting out foods or trying supplements is easy. Knowing if it's actually doing anything is harder. The Gut Balance Programme ends that guesswork – with a second test that shows exactly what's shifted. Proof, not just assumption.

1. Test

A simple at-home sample. Results in your app in 3–4 weeks.

2. Understand

Your report shows what's out of balance, and why it may be linked to their symptoms.

3. Restore

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

4. Track

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

The gut microbiome changes slowly.

Meaningful shifts from diet and lifestyle take 3–6 months to show. That's not a flaw – it's the biology. The Gut Balance Programme is designed around that reality. Test 1 sets the baseline. Test 2 confirms the change.

    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.
