About
A comprehensive analysis of your gut microbiota using next-generation sequencing (NGS). It shows which bacteria live in your gut, how balanced your microbial ecosystem is, and which health conditions your microbiome profile is associated with.
What's included
Your report includes:
Gut Microbiome Index (GMI): overall score of microbiome balance
Diversity index: number of bacterial species compared with your age group
Inflammation index: proportion of pro-inflammatory bacteria
Microbiome composition: key native bacteria, probiotic strains and potentially harmful microorganisms
Microbiome type (P / B / O) and your position on the microbiome map
Associated risk profile: comparison with the microbiome of patient groups with digestive, liver, metabolic, cardiovascular, autoimmune and neurological conditions
Personalised recommendations: diet, dietary fibre, lifestyle and probiotics tailored to your microbiome type
Recommended for: bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, IBS; overweight, type 2 diabetes, allergies, chronic fatigue; tracking changes after diet or lifestyle adjustments.
