What we measure and why

  • Gut Dysbiosis: Imbalance of good and bad bacteria can lead to health issues.
  • Digestion: Bacteria imbalance can lead to digestive problems and other health issues.
  • Inflammation: Bacteria imbalance can indicate disease and impact overall health.
  • Gut Diversity: A diverse range of gut microbes is essential for good health.
  • Immune Readiness: A healthy gut is necessary for a strong immune system.
  • Pathogens: Harmful bacteria, fungi, parasites can cause illness and impact gut and overall health.

The science and technology behind our Microbiome Analysis

Our next-gen sequencing services utilize the latest in whole genome sequencing technology and analysis tools to provide unrivaled quality data, used to break down key insights into the gut microbiome health and function.

The reports provide bar plots, heatmaps, and biomarker discovery to help you get the most out of your data.

With highly curated databases and error correction methods, we can identify microbes down to the species level.
