Gut Microbiome Analysis

Go Beyond Gut Health. Understand Your Microbiome.

Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that interact with your diet, metabolism, immune system and overall health. Yet conventional testing may provide only a limited view of this complex ecosystem.

What the Test Can Reveal

The analysis provides a comprehensive view of your gut microbiome, including:

Microbiome Diversity

Assess the richness, evenness and overall diversity of your gut microbiome. Greater microbial diversity is generally considered an important feature of a resilient and healthy gut ecosystem.

Bacterial Composition

Identify and quantify the relative abundance of bacterial species and genera within your microbiome, providing insight into the unique composition of your individual gut ecosystem.

Health-Associated Microorganisms

Evaluate microbial groups associated with gastrointestinal health and beneficial functions within the gut, including microorganisms involved in maintaining the intestinal environment.

Functional Microbial Groups

Assess microorganisms with specific metabolic functions, including methane-producing, sulfate-reducing and neuroactive bacteria, providing additional insight into the functional characteristics of your microbiome.

Inflammation & Disease-Associated Microbial Groups

Identify microbial populations that have been associated in research with gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions, metabolic health and other disease states. These findings provide contextual insights and are not intended to diagnose disease.

Fungi & Other Microorganisms

Extend the analysis beyond bacteria to identify other microbial populations, including fungi, providing a broader picture of your gut microbial ecosystem.

Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing

Unlike targeted approaches such as PCR or 16S rRNA sequencing, shotgun metagenomics analyses a broader range of microbial genetic material. This enables greater taxonomic resolution and can identify microorganisms, including lower-abundance species, that may not be captured by more limited testing methods.

From Microbial Data to Personalised Action

Your microbiome is highly individual. Rather than relying on generic recommendations, understanding your microbial profile can provide additional context for decisions around

Nutrition

Understand how your dietary patterns may influence your gut microbiome and identify opportunities to optimise food choices based on your individual profile

Fibre & Dietary Diversity

Support microbial diversity with a varied intake of fibre-rich plant foods, tailored to your dietary pattern, tolerance and individual needs.

Lifestyle

Consider the impact of sleep, exercise, stress and other lifestyle factors that can influence the gut microbiome and overall gut health.

Gut-Supportive Interventions

Where appropriate, introduce targeted dietary, prebiotic, probiotic or other evidence-informed interventions based on your individual microbiome and health profile.
