The La Biome Vaginal Microbiome Test is a Practitioner Grade diagnostic test that examines the vaginal microbiome to identify any imbalances or infections that may be causing health issues. The test is conducted using the latest PCR DNA sequencing method.

Your test kit will be sent by Nutripath labs in Victoria for you to take an at-home sample. Your results will then be interpreted by our experienced naturopath and microbiome specialist who will provide personalised recommendations to restore long term vaginal health.

The La Biome Vaginal Microbiome Test is a comprehensive way to assess and optimise your vaginal health. Just like the gut microbiome, the vaginal microbiome plays a crucial role in female wellness, helping to prevent infections, support healthy pregnancies, and maintain overall balance.

Key Benefits of the La Biome Vaginal Microbiome Test:

  • Advanced Microbial Analysis: Using PCR technology, the test identifies beneficial bacteria, opportunistic pathogens, commensal bacteria, yeasts, STIs, and your vaginal pH level.
  • Personalised Recommendations: After your test, you’ll receive a customised, evidence-based protocol from our qualified naturopath, helping you to improve and maintain intimate health without needing costly consultations.
  • Clinically Reliable: This test is performed by a practitioner-only Australian lab, ensuring high-quality and accurate results.

How the Test Works:

Simply collect a small vaginal swab using the provided kit and return it using the prepaid satchel. Your results will be available within 10 days, along with a personalised report.

Why the Vaginal Microbiome is Important:

The vaginal microbiome is a delicate balance of microorganisms, primarily made up of Lactobacilli, which help maintain an acidic pH that prevents infections. An imbalance can lead to conditions such as bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, and even increase the risk of more serious health issues like STIs, endometriosis, and PCOS.

Benefits of a Healthy Vaginal Microbiome:

  • Prevents Infections: Produces lactic acid and antimicrobial substances like hydrogen peroxide to keep harmful bacteria in check.
  • Supports Pregnancy: Helps reduce the risk of complications like preterm birth and low birth weight.
  • Links to Gut Health: A healthy gut can support a balanced vaginal microbiome, with beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus jensenii playing a key role in both.

What You’ll Get:

  • A detailed lab report with quantitative results on key bacteria and microbes, including those associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), aerobic vaginitis (AV), Group B Strep, Candida (thrush), yeasts, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and your vaginal pH.
  • Personalised recommendations from our qualified naturopath, tailored to your unique microbiome, to help restore and maintain optimal vaginal health.
  • Custom-made pessaries or cream applicator that can be ordered and delivered directly based on your results, providing targeted treatment to balance your vaginal microbiome and alleviate symptoms.

With the La Biome Vaginal Microbiome Test, you can take control of your intimate health and get the insights you need to feel your best.
