These advanced tests offer a deeper understanding of individual health profiles, targeting gut health, genetic factors, and lifestyle influences on overall well-being.
Redcliffe Labs, a leading diagnostic service provider, has launched two new diagnostic tests, Gut Microbiome and HealthEx, available in over 220 cities where the lab operates.
These advanced tests offer a deeper understanding of individual health profiles, targeting gut health, genetic factors, and lifestyle influences on overall well-being.
The Gut Microbiome test is a non-invasive tool designed to comprehensively analyze gut health. It recognizes that gut microbiota differs from person to person and is influenced by gender, geographic location, dietary habits, culture, genetics, and lifestyle choices.
This unique variation makes the test particularly valuable for those seeking to improve their health through personalized data.
Key findings from the Gut Microbiome Test include its ability to map several bodily functions, such as the immune system, digestive health, hormonal balance, and cognitive functions.
The test also helps identify obesity-related issues, metabolic conditions, including diabetes and cardiovascular risks, and auto-immune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel diseases.
Dermatological conditions, mental health, and even sports performance may be evaluated through the test.
The results give users detailed insights into their gut flora and their predisposition to various diseases.
The package also includes a 12-week complementary nutrition plan, tailored dietary recommendations, and personalized consultations with health experts to restore gut health and provide a clear direction for users to achieve optimal health.
The HealthEx test evaluates an individual’s DNA to detect potential risks linked to their lifestyle, diet, and genetic makeup. The advanced blood test offers a detailed analysis, providing valuable health insights to improve overall quality of life.
HealthEx covers various aspects, including nutrition modifications, cardiac health, skin and hair care, kidney health, and reproductive health. Other focus areas include immune system support, cancer risk assessment, allergy management, and vision and sleep quality improvement.
The personalized recommendations based on the HealthEx test are intended to guide individuals in changing their lifestyles, fitness routines, and nutrition. The data provided by the test allows users to manage and monitor their health more effectively, giving them a clearer understanding of potential health risks.
A spokesperson for Redcliffe Labs stated, “These tests are designed to help individuals take control of their health with personalized insights. With the Gut Microbiome test, we aim to provide an in-depth analysis of how gut health affects various bodily systems. At the same time, HealthEx focuses on genetic and lifestyle factors, offering a complete picture of an individual's health risks.”
Recently, Redcliffe Labs raised $42 million in a Series C funding round, signaling its intent to expand significantly across India.
