A superb company !!

The testing was super easy and the result was very informative and easy to understand. I also got a scheduled meeting with a nutritionist that gave me information about the result and how one could improve the different results. I can recommend Alba to anyone and I really think everyone could benefit from testing!

Excellent service with new insights and practical advice

I love everything about the the service; new insights as the science behind the gut microbe is made easy to understand, the detailed report with what could be improved as well as practical advice about how to change my sons diet with new ingredients and recipes.

My son's eczema has cleared

My son was suffering from mild eczema that kept re-appearing all over his torso, back and legs. When he was 1.5 years old he got sick and had to take antibiotics, and right after he had a big eczema flare. I found Alba on Instagram around that time and I am so glad for this. The test was simple and the customer service merits 10 stars. The report I received while very scientific was very easy to read and a clear action plan was recommended. I was recommended to make some easy changes to my son's diet (not only on food recommendations but also some personalized recipes), to change his probiotic, and even recommended a good dermatologist in my area. The nutritionist gave me some great easy tips and helped make the changes very approachable. It has been 3 months now since I made those changes and he has not had a single flare. I was worried that the summer would be hard as the previous summer he had his worst flares, but this summer, nothing! What a relief! I can easily continue with the small changes I made and I look forward to re-testing him to see the result. I highly recommend this product to all parents of small children.

I’ve heard of Alba Health in a podcast…

I’ve heard of Alba Health in a podcast and I’ve loved the project, it’s very interesting: today we hear a lot about the importance of a vaginal birth and the breastfeeding to improve our newborn’s gut, but this is not always possible or easy (such as in our case) and luckily it’s not the only thing we can do to improve it. So I decided to test my 18months old son’s gut and I received a very detailed report, with a super clear action plan to follow. I really recommend this test for all who wants to know how to improve their toddler’s gut and give a boost all the benefits related to a healthy gut.

Good experience, very helpful

My experience with Alba Health was great. The knowledge of the composition of the bacterias in the gut of my daugter was very helpful. The report was very clear and with many suggestions to how improve the good bacterias. Furthermore, I spoke with the nutrition and health coach that gave me some helpful tips for the weaning.

I have worked in the microbiome for…

I have worked in the microbiome for almost a decade and I was really impressed with the results and insights that I got about my child's microbiome through Alba Health. My child had received a probiotic months before we sent in the sample and they were able to detect it in the sample. I can highly recommend Alba Health if you are looking to know more about your child's microbiome health and development.

Recommended for parents

This is a legit service. You get a test kit, take a sample, and send it in. The process was pretty simple. After some time, you receive a test report, which was very interesting and helpful for adjusting our baby's diet. Definitely a cool idea for parents!

Highly recommended for parents with a newborn!

Our son was born premature, and received a lot of antibiotics. In the few months that followed we had some feeding issues (not gaining weight) and he was also fussy and crying. We discovered the Alba company and decided to contact them. The procedure is really easy: send in some stool with the toolkit (clearly explained). We got the results fast and the meeting with expert was very helpful. The results were explained and we got useful advice. For us as new parents this has been very helpful. It was especially important to us that this was not some advice but it was based on scientific evidence. With this we had less worries about our baby. Would highly recommend for parents of a newborn!

Eye opening and positive experience

As first time parents we try to be aware (maybe even in control) of everything related to our baby. We initially thought Alba will just help us fulfill this need of ours a bit by providing us with more information we can use to raise a baby with a healthy gut. But this experience turned out to be more than that:
- the tone of the interactions with Alba was always warm and positive
- the instructions in the kit/website were clear and the steps simple and easy to perform
- the report we received, while very informative and rigorous on the scientific data, still managed to be easy to put into practice through the recommendations and recipes it pointed to; as a side note, in our case it was the perfect addition to the advice we already received from our paediatrician. Although Alba does not provide medical advice, their recommendations were inside the same lines as the ones from our paediatrician, and this cleared any doubts we had. At the end of the day, Alba's product is backed by science so that was to be expected
- shipping was fast and hassle free
We want to repeat the test at least once, to check out the evolution of our baby's gut
