What is the gut microbiome test?

Gut Microbiome Test

The Gut Microbiome test is an optional add-on that analyses the diversity and composition of the bacteria in your digestive system, to help you support digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. It costs 150 EUR (confirmed at checkout).


What the Gut Microbiome test analyses

  • The diversity and balance of gut bacteria;

  • Key bacterial groups involved in digestion and metabolism;

  • Patterns that may be associated with gut comfort, inflammation, or nutrient absorption.


How the test works

  • The test is performed using a stool sample collected at home;

  • Collection instructions are provided to ensure sample quality;

  • The sample is analysed by an accredited partner laboratory.


What insights you receive

  • A clear overview of your gut microbiome composition;

  • Educational explanations to help you understand the role of different bacterial groups;

  • Context on how gut health may interact with lifestyle factors such as nutrition and stress.


Important to know

  • The Gut Microbiome test provides educational and preventive insights;

  • It does not diagnose gastrointestinal conditions;

  • Results should be interpreted as part of a broader health context.

  • Your results are delivered automatically into your Lucis account and displayed in your Data Hub, where they influence your personalised recommendations. No separate BIOMES account or manual upload is required.


Availability

  • The Gut Microbiome test is available as an add-on to the Care plan;

  • Availability may vary by country.
