Digestive Health Panel & Customized Recommendations
This lab package includes a comprehensive GI analysis that is reviewed and interpreted by a Naturopathic physician. Based on your lab results and a health questionnaire, Dr. Courtney Roberts will provide you with recommendations to support your health, including a customized herbal formula.*
Whether you are experiencing uncomfortable GI symptoms, such as gas, bloating, or IBS, or have other ongoing health concerns, such as asthma, eczema, anxiety, or an autoimmune condition, assessing and supporting optimal gut function is essential. The gut is at the very core of health and wellness, as it performs many critical roles that impact the whole body and all of its systems. GI dysfunction, bacterial imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies are some of the key drivers and underlying causes of chronic health issues.
Not only is the GI system responsible for digesting and absorbing nutrients, but it also provides a substantial amount of immune protection and neurotransmitter production. In addition, the gut’s complex microbiome plays a significant role in overall health and resiliency. By examining all of the key areas of the gastrointestinal system - digestion/absorption, intestinal barrier health, microbiome balance, and immune/inflammation levels - an individualized approach can be taken to restore balance and optimize health.
Often in conventional medicine, once a diagnosis is made regarding a GI concern, symptoms are treated according to the condition, not the individual. As a result, the root causes can be missed. In functional medicine, there is no one-size-fits-all protocol. Each person is unique and so is their healing plan. Assessments and functional lab testing help to provide a clear picture of underlying root causes so that recommendations can be tailored specifically to the person.

Let customers speak for us
from 679 reviewsI am worried about sticker that says there is lead.
I was delighted to find a company carrying my favorite cough drop with the natural sweetener Stevia that does not promote to decay. I’m happy with the product and the company.
I used to order this product from Amazon and it became increasingly difficult to obtain and would arrive with the seal broken and leaking. Village Green has been able to fill every order and the package comes secure and not broken. I appreciate it.
VITAL FLORA 60/60 SS WOMEN'S 55+
I’ve been using it for a month and have had no negative results. Had to find such a big dose so am glad I found it. Called to ship earlier and they did so seem a responsible co. Satisfied with both.
Very satisfied
It tastes good, not horrible which would make it very hard to swallow.
Love to do business with you. Thank you very much!

All purpose supplements that supports so many health issues.
I've been using Traumeel for six years, since my rheumatologist recommended it as a homeopathic ointment to help ease pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. I use it daily, so am pleased that it's now available over the counter, and my experience ordering it from Village Green went off without a hitch.
very good effect
I take this daily to keep my zinc stores up. I trust Pure Encapsulations products because they are clean and free of allergens.
the ordering of the Chlorofresh Unflavored was easy and delivered within the specified time makes me know for the future I can repeat the process.
