Sova, India’s first precision health-tech startup, has announced the launch of its latest product - the Probiotics Deficiency Test (PDT), another first-of-its-kind test designed by the platform to help individuals identify missing or imbalanced probiotic strains in their gut microbiome.
With gut health increasingly recognized as the foundation of longevity, Sova’s Probiotics Deficiency Test goes beyond generic wellness tools to deliver personalized data-backed insights into long-term health. By analysing the diversity and balance of 31 key probiotic strains, it helps individuals understand their unique gut profile, enabling informed decisions that support digestion, immunity, metabolism, and cognitive resilience, all crucial for healthy ageing and extended vitality.
Over a year ago, Sova introduced its advanced Gut Microbiome Test (GI Map Test). Building on that success, the PDT is a more affordable version designed to help people kickstart their longevity journey without being overwhelmed by detailed data. Priced at just INR 2,999 and inclusive of a 30-minute gut expert consultation, this in-home makes it India’s most accessible, science-backed gut diagnostic - helping users take early action before symptoms begin to affect daily life.
Through a simple at-home sample collection process, users can send their samples to Sova’s advanced laboratory and receive a comprehensive report highlighting probiotic deficiencies along with personalized recommendations for diet, lifestyle, and supplements. Backed by research from over 35,000 microbiome samples, the test reflects Sova’s mission to make precision gut health accessible, actionable, and science-led.
Max Kushnir, Co-founder & Chief Scientific Officer, Sova, also commented, “The Probiotics Deficiency Test leverages years of microbiome research and data to provide actionable insights. It moves gut care from guesswork to precision - helping users pinpoint deficiencies and restore balance based on real science. Our vision is to make personalised health not a privilege, but a daily practice - simple, accessible, and backed by data.”
Speaking on the launch, Tanveer Singh, Co-founder & CEO, Sova, said, “At Sova, we believe longevity begins in the gut. Every product we build stems from years of research and our commitment to make precision wellness accessible to everyone. The Probiotics Deficiency Test is a reflection of that journey - a simple, science-backed tool that introduces people to their gut health without overwhelming them with data or cost. It’s another step in helping individuals take control of their well-being, one insight at a time.”
The Probiotic Deficiency test expands Sova’s growing ecosystem that seamlessly integrates diagnostics, AI, intelligent formulation, and custom-made supplements - making health deeply personal, data-driven, and accessible.
