Microbiome Test Markers
Our microbiome analysis (in partnership with BIOMES) examines the composition of your gut flora across 5 key functional areas:
Weight management: tracking bacteria that influence metabolism and calorie absorption
Digestive comfort: tracking bacteria related to inflammation, intestinal wall integrity, and transit
Nutrition: tracking bacteria involved in digesting carbohydrates, fibers, proteins, and fats
Physical fitness: tracking bacteria linked to vitamin B12 and K production, immune regulation, and sleep
Immune system: tracking bacteria that modulate immune response and allergy resilience
Key bacterial genera measured
The analysis measures key bacterial genera including Akkermansia, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium, Bacteroides, Ruminococcus, and Christensenella, as well as potentially unbalancing strains such as Escherichia and Citrobacter.
Taxonomic coverage and scoring
It covers all taxonomic levels (phylum, genus, species) and generates an overall gut flora balance score out of 100.
