Many of our tests can be used for children, but there are a few important things to keep in mind.
When choosing a test for a child:
Some sample collection methods may be more difficult for younger children to complete.
Most of our test results are interpreted using adult reference values.
Children's bodies and gut microbiomes are still developing, which means some results may naturally differ from those of adults.
This doesn't necessarily mean a test can't be performed. However, it's important to keep these factors in mind when interpreting the results.
If you're unsure whether a particular test is suitable for your child, our customer support team is always happy to help you choose the most appropriate option.
