Two ways to support your gut
The gut health app that tests your food, not you.
A microbiome test gives you a detailed picture of your own gut bacteria, often with a personalised plan to go with it. NutriScanner® is the low-hassle option, scoring what's in front of you against the habits linked to a more diverse gut.
Use it on its own, or alongside a test to help you follow your plan every time you shop and eat.
| A microbiome test | NutriScanner | |
|---|---|---|
| Looks at | Your gut bacteria | Your food |
| Gives you | A detailed personal picture | Two scores and the reasons why |
| What you need | A home kit and a sample | Your phone |
| Best for | Understanding your own gut | Everyday food choices |
| Typical cost | Up to £400 a test. Seeing any change means testing again, and some plans add a monthly fee | £49.99 a year, or £4.99 a month, after a 7-day free trial |
Four ways to check any food.
In the supermarket aisle, at the café table or on the sofa after dinner.
Green, Amber or Red. A straight answer.
Every result gives two scores out of 10 and a plain-English explanation of why, so you know what to eat, what to think twice about and what to leave on the shelf.
A great choice. Organic cocoa powder: high in fibre and minimally processed.

Fine, with something to think about. Baked beans in tomato sauce: 6 and 6.

Worth having only now and then. Chocolate tea cakes: ultra-processed, Nutri-Score E.

Scores don't always agree. Runny honey: 5 for nutrition, but only 3 for gut health, because it's mostly sugar with no fibre.

Real results from the app, shown as examples. Every product is scored on its own ingredients and processing, so similar foods can score differently.
Scores you can check, not just trust.
Every result shows its working: Nutri-Score, processing level, the gut bacteria affected and a plain-English explanation.

Questions
Does NutriScanner count calories?
No. It is not a calorie counter. It scores the overall quality of your food for nutrition and gut health.
Do I have to log my meals?
No. There is no diary and no daily tracking. Check a food when you want to, then get on with your day.
Do I need to follow a specific diet?
No. No keto, no paleo, no fads. NutriScanner works with whatever you eat and helps you make better choices.
How fast is it?
A few seconds. Your two scores appear with a full nutrition and gut health breakdown.
What do the colours mean?
Each food gets two scores out of 10. Green (8 to 10) is a great choice. Amber (5 to 7) is fine, with something to think about. Red (0 to 4) is worth eating only now and then.
Do I need a gut test to use NutriScanner?
No. A microbiome test analyses a sample of your gut bacteria and often comes with a personalised plan, which some people find really useful. NutriScanner is a simpler, low-hassle option: it tests the food, not you. The eating habits linked to a more diverse gut, such as more fibre, a wide variety of plants, fermented foods and less ultra-processed food, are well understood, so NutriScanner scores what is in front of you against them. You can use it on its own, or alongside a test to help you follow your plan day to day.
Does it work when I'm eating out?
Yes. Photograph a café or restaurant menu, or a recipe, and get the same analysis.
Is it just about weight loss?
No. It is about understanding your food and supporting your gut health. Better choices, not calorie maths.
How much does it cost?
NutriScanner is free to download and comes with a 7-day free trial of NutriScanner Pro. Cancel any time before it ends and you won't be charged. After that it's £4.99 a month or £49.99 a year (UK), $5.99 or $59.99 (US), or A$9.99 or A$99.99 (Australia), renewing automatically unless you cancel.
