Gut Health Test
The gut microbiome is a vast ecosystem of almost 100 trillion bacteria, many of which are vital, breaking down food and toxins , making vitamins and training our immune systems. The digestive tract itself weighs up to 2kg (heavier than the average brain), and it is increasingly treated by scientists as an organ in its own right.
With this test we offer a comprehensive study for the simultanous detection and identification of multiple gastrointestinal pathogens including bacteria, viruses and parasites.
Our included calprotectin study is able to identify and differentiaite clearly between inflammatory bowel diease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and other functional bowel diseases.
