The most comprehensive report on your gut health.

The SZA Longevity Vaginal Health Test is a science-led at-home solution designed to provide an in-depth analysis of your vaginal microbiome. Using advanced metagenomic sequencing, it identifies both beneficial and potentially disruptive microorganisms that may influence inflammation, pH balance, and susceptibility to conditions such as bacterial vaginosis or yeast overgrowth.

With a simple, noninvasive swab, you collect your sample at home and receive a detailed, clinically relevant report. Built for women who want to take control of their health through accurate, personalised data.

Your vaginal microbiome plays a critical role in your health

The vaginal microbiome is a complex, dynamic ecosystem that directly influences inflammation, infection risk, pH balance, and reproductive outcomes. It is one of the most biologically active and protective environments in the human body.

A healthy vaginal microbiome helps defend against bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and urinary tract infections. It supports pregnancy outcomes, protects the vaginal barrier, and may even play a role in reducing the risk of certain cancers. Understanding this ecosystem is essential to understanding your health as a whole.

The Health Consequences of Vaginal Microbiome Disruption

1 in 3

women will get BV each year, and up to 84% of cases are asymptomatic.

1 in 3

women will have a urinary tract infection (UTI) by age 24, and 1 in 2 will experience one in their lifetime.

~

30

%

of postmenopausal women have low Lactobacillus dominance.

60

%

of women will experience at least one yeast infection in their lifetime.

Our vaginal microbiome test uses advanced metagenomic sequencing to analyse the entire microbial ecosystem present in the vaginal environment. This includes all bacterial, fungal, and archaeal DNA in the sample, allowing for comprehensive and high-resolution profiling.

Scope of Analysis: Vaginal Microbiome Test

Microbial Community Composition

We analyse the abundance and prevalence of all microbial taxa, including dominant and low-abundance species. This reveals whether the vaginal environment is Lactobacillus-dominant, mixed, or disrupted.

Balance Between Protective and Disruptive Species

The test quantifies beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus crispatus, L. gasseri, and L. jensenii, as well as disruptive or opportunistic species like Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, and Candida albicans.

Functional Potential of the Microbiome

We assess microbial genes linked to key functions such as lactic acid production, hydrogen peroxide generation, and pH regulation, which are critical to vaginal health and infection resistance.

Microbial Diversity and Evenness

Using ecological metrics such as Shannon diversity and species evenness, we evaluate microbiome stability and resilience against pathogenic overgrowth.

Identification of Clinically Relevant Microorganisms

We detect and quantify microbial DNA associated with key vaginal health conditions, including bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, aerobic vaginitis, cytolytic vaginosis, and urinary tract infections.

Community State Typing (CST)

Each sample is mapped to a recognised vaginal Community State Type based on microbial composition, offering a deeper understanding of how your microbiome aligns with known patterns of health or dysbiosis.

Clinical Risk Mapping

Microbiome data is evaluated in relation to known clinical risk markers. These include increased susceptibility to recurrent infections, chronic inflammation, vaginal dysbiosis, fertility challenges, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

This test is ideal for you if:

You have recurrent symptoms

If you have ongoing or unexplained vaginal symptoms such as discharge, irritation, odour, or discomfort that return even after treatment.

You have a history of infections

If you have experienced repeated episodes of bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, or urinary tract infections and want to understand the root cause.

You are planning for pregnancy or fertility treatment

If you are trying to conceive or undergoing fertility care and want to ensure your vaginal microbiome is in an optimal state to support reproductive health.

You want to take control of your vaginal health

If you want a deeper understanding of your microbiome and personalised data to help you maintain long-term balance, comfort, and resilience.
