The trillions of microbes in your gut affect your health, aging, digestion, immunity, cognitive functions, weight, mood, and even personality. Let's check your gut microbiome composition today.
There are trillions of micro-organisms living on and inside of our body, majority in the gut. Among these vast microbial communities are those that are beneficial to human health (such as probiotics like B. Bifidum, B. Longum), as well as those that cause disease (such as pathogens like H. Pylori, C. difficile). These microbes synthesize vitamins, communicate with our immune system, and help to combat infections. They also help to produce chemicals that regulate hormonal balance, allow you to feel full and affect the way you digest food or metabolize medication.
As they are in physical contact with the foods you consume, your gut bacteria influence nutrient absorption and energy storage. Studies have shown that a low diversity of gut bacteria is linked with obesity and poor health. Everyone’s mix of microbes is unique, so there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution that experts can prescribe to improve health. Decode your inner gut health secrets today, to take the guesswork out of enhancing your well-being.
Get Started TodayYou may consider a gut health test:
You will receive a comprehensive report with information about beneficial and harmful micro-organisms that were found in your sample, and how they compare to a healthy population. In addition, we report your overall microbiome health index along with an assessment of potential risk for several metabolic traits and health conditions. This may help you understand your gut health comprehensively. We also provide recommendations on foods and supplements that may help to bridge the gaps in your results.
Unlike other providers, we use the most advanced Whole Genome Sequencing technology (Shotgun Metagenomics) to provide deep-level analysis of your microbiome. This means that you will get a report with the bacteria identified in your microbiome with significantly higher confidence. In addition to bacteria, we evaluate the presence of viruses, fungi, other small eukaryotes, as well as functional pathways (for example, virulence, short chain fatty acid pathways and vitamin synthesis pathways). In addition, we provide an assessment of the potentially harmful bacteria (pathogens) and harmless or even beneficial bacteria that constitute your sample. More importantly, our holistic gut health assessment stratifies your risk for diseases and deficiencies based on a comprehensive assessment of your clinical, gut and lifestyle biomarkers.
With 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing (used by other providers), only a portion of one gene is analyzed, hence there is very limited amount of information one can obtain. Microbial genomes can be millions of bases long, and whole genome information can help identify microbes to the species and strain level, and even viruses, fungi and other small eukaryotes in addition to bacteria (16S is limited to bacteria only). It also facilitates functional analysis like biosynthetic, virulence pathways etc.
It is best to collect your sample when you have had a typical diet and habits for at least a few days to up to two weeks before testing. If you have been on antibiotics, traveled far from home, or had major dietary or lifestyle changes, it would be best to wait for a minimum of two weeks.
You may consider GenixPRO™ testing while on medication or supplements.
If you have known sensitivities or allergies to any foods, you should refrain from eating them, regardless of the recommendation for those food items in your comprehensive gut health report.
Usually it takes about three months to see the effects of a new diet on your gut microbiome. We recommend that you repeat the test after 6-9 months to assess changes in your gut microbiota.
Yes, we store your information securely and comply with various data privacy regulations including HIPPA, GINA, GDPR and PDPA. We do not share your information with any third party. Your samples are processed in our labs without any personally identifiable information (PII). Each sample is tagged with a unique identifier upon member registration.
Once you have identified and purchased your health screening package suitable to your needs, within a few days we schedule an at-home visit for basic health assessment* and more importantly to pass you the specialized stool sample collection kit with instructions.
You should mail back your sample to us for processing ideally within a few hours of sample collection. Collected sample should be kept at room temperature in a cool, dry place prior to mailing back to us.
You should receive your results online within 4-8 weeks* after we receive your sample at our facility.
Yes. The test is non-invasive, comes with accessories and clear instructions on how to self-collect your stool sample.
Yes, we are able to identify Candida and other fungi in addition to bacteria, as long as there is genomic information available and a high enough abundance of the organism in the stool sample.
Yes, as long as ordered by a parent or guardian if the child is under 18 years old. For infants and toddlers up to 3 years of age, please refer to our BabyBiome™ product.
