Gut Health Panel

This test is a comprehensive tool for evaluating gut health. It uses advanced DNA analysis to identify and quantify the bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in your gut. Here's a breakdown of what it can tell you:

1. Bacterial Balance: It assesses levels of beneficial bacteria and potentially harmful bacteria, helping you understand the balance inside your gut.

2. Pathogens: The test screens for pathogens such as viruses, parasites, and fungi that might cause infections or gut disturbance.

3. Digestive Health: It evaluates markers of digestive function, such as how well you are breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.

4. Inflammation: By checking for specific inflammatory markers, it provides insights into any inflammation occurring in your gut.

5. Antibiotic Resistance Genes: It can also inform you about potential antibiotic resistance, which is important for treatment decisions if needed.

People use this test to explore symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or other chronic digestive issues, as well as to learn more about conditions such as IBS or leaky gut. By understanding what’s happening in your gut, you can work with your healthcare provider to tailor your diet, supplements, or lifestyle changes to support better gut health.
