Your gut health plays a crucial role in your overall well-being. With our Gut Microbiome Test, you can gain valuable insights into the unique makeup of your gut microbiome, which consists of trillions of microbes, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea. A balanced gut microbiome is essential for maintaining proper digestion, immune function, and mental health. However, an imbalance in these microorganisms can lead to a wide range of health issues, such as digestive discomfort, fatigue, skin irritation, food intolerances, mood swings, and even weight gain.
What’s Measured: Our Gut Microbiome Test offers an in-depth analysis of the microbial composition of your gut. The test evaluates:
Bacterial Composition: Key markers like the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio, butyrate-producing bacteria, bacteria that break down fiber, probiotics, pathogenic bacteria, and hydrogen sulfide-producing bacteria.
Viral Composition: The presence of bacteriophages, which can affect the bacteria in your gut.
Fungal Composition: Fungal species and their role in your gut health.
Archael Composition: The presence of archaea, a type of microbe that plays a role in gut health.
How It Works:
Our Gut Microbiome Test is easy to use, with a simple at-home sample collection kit. Collect your sample at home and send it back to us for a thorough analysis. Within a short period, you'll receive a detailed report that provides insights into the diversity and balance of your gut microbiome. You'll also get personalized recommendations based on your results.

WHY GET TESTED
Your gut is inhabited by trillions of microorganisms. Some bacterial species play an important role in maintaining good health, while others can increase your risk of common diseases. Autoimmune problems, constipation, diarrhea, weight gain, gas, and indigestion can all be signs of an unhealthy gut caused by an overgrowth of 'bad microbes.'
Environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors can all influence the diversity of your gut microbiome. A rich and diverse gut microbiome is usually classed as 'healthy,' with an imbalance or absence of a particular species contributing to health issues such as obesity, autoimmune diseases, digestive issues, and inflammation.
An unbalanced gut microbiome can also lead to various health conditions. These imbalances are often linked to digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or diarrhea, as well as skin conditions such as acne and eczema. Mental health can also be influenced by gut health, with mood swings and anxiety being possible signs of microbial imbalances. Moreover, weight gain and food intolerances have been linked to a compromised gut microbiome.
Understanding the composition of your gut allows you to take proactive steps to improve it. A balanced diet, probiotics, prebiotics, and other lifestyle changes can help restore and maintain a healthy gut microbiome. Identifying harmful bacteria and imbalances can empower you to make informed decisions about your diet and health, with the potential to improve digestion, boost energy levels, enhance your immune system, and support mental clarity.
Our convenient gut microbiome test requires only a simple stool sample and uses advanced shotgun metagenomics to help you truly understand your gut health, identify the 'good' and 'bad' bacteria in your gut, and provide recommendations to help improve your gut health and microbiome.
