Frequently Asked Questions

What is this Assessment?

This Probiotic Deficiency Assessment helps you identify whether your body may be lacking key beneficial bacteria that support digestion, mood, immunity, and energy. Based on your responses, it highlights the degree of deficiency and explains how this may be impacting your daily health and overall wellbeing.

How accurate is the assessment?

The scoring model is built using insights from gut microbiome research and validated data from thousands of gut health assessments. While it isn’t a diagnostic tool, it provides a reliable indication of microbial imbalance and its possible effects on your body.

What kind of questions will I be asked?

You’ll answer simple, everyday questions related to digestion, energy, sleep, food habits, and general health. The assessment takes less than 2 minutes and doesn’t require any medical knowledge — just honest answers about how you feel.

Will I get my results immediately?

Yes. As soon as you complete the assessment, you’ll receive a personalized summary showing your degree of probiotic deficiency — mild, moderate, or severe — along with how it could be affecting your health and lifestyle.

Can I fix a probiotic deficiency naturally?

Yes, in most cases you can. A combination of the right diet, fermented foods, and targeted probiotics can help restore microbial balance. Your results will guide you on what kind of approach might benefit you most.

Do I need to take a Probiotic Deficiency Test after this assessment?

The assessment gives you a broad overview of your current gut balance. If your results show a moderate or severe deficiency, taking the Sova Probiotic Deficiency Test is recommended — it provides a precise, lab-based analysis of your gut microbiome and the specific strains that need replenishment.

Who is this assessment for?

To keep results statistically relevant, the assessment is designed for adults aged 18 and above. It’s suitable for anyone experiencing digestive issues, low energy, or general imbalance — or simply looking to understand their gut health better.

Do I need to share any personal data?

No personal data is required to complete the assessment. You can choose to view your results instantly on-screen — sharing your contact details is completely optional.

What happens after I get my results?

You’ll receive a personalized deficiency summary that explains your current probiotic balance and its possible impact on your digestion, immunity, energy, and mood.

Why should I take this assessment?

Most people overlook probiotic imbalance until symptoms worsen. This quick self-assessment helps you detect early signs of deficiency and understand how gut health affects nearly every aspect of your wellbeing — from digestion and energy to skin and mood.
