Gut Microbiome

What is your gut microbiome?

Your gut microbiome is a complex community of trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, that live in your digestive tract. These microorganisms play a crucial role in digestion, immunity and even mental health. A balanced microbiome supports healthy digestion, strengthens your immune system, impacts mood and energy levels, and lowers risk of conditions like IBS.

What is a gut microbiome test?

A gut microbiome test provides an in-depth analysis of microorganisms in your gut. It influences digestion, immunity and disease risk.

The health of your gut is influenced by diet, stress and lifestyle. A test helps identify imbalances and provides personalised recommendations.

How can you test your gut microbiome?

Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing

Advanced testing that analyzes all genetic material in your stool sample for full microbial insight.

16S rRNA Sequencing

Identifies bacterial groups but does not capture full microbial diversity.

qPCR Testing

Detects specific microbes but does not provide a full microbiome overview.

What does a gut microbiome test look for?

It analyzes bacteria, fungi, viruses and microbial balance to detect health risks and inflammation.
