How it works in your practice
Register
Tell us about your practice using the form below. We will be in touch to get you set up.
Reccomend the test
You offer the test to your patients.
Sample at home
A dry stool swab that takes under five minutes. We arrange collection of sample.
Report and review
The report is ready about three weeks after the sample reaches the lab, with a full in-depth report of the gut microbiome.
Where it fits, and where it does not
A good fit when you want
-
A whole-community view: diversity, balance and the relative abundance of key bacterial groups
-
More context for clients with ongoing bloating, digestive discomfort or low energy
-
A baseline before a diet, lifestyle or supplement change, and a re-test 6 to 12 months later
-
Diagnosis. This is a wellness tool that reports associations, not disease.
-
Confirming a specific pathogen. A qPCR pathogen panel is the right tool for that.
-
Anyone under 18. The reference data is from adult gut microbiomes.
-
The 2 to 4 weeks after a course of antibiotics. It is better to wait.
Not designed for
Science you can check
We sequence the 16S rRNA gene using next-generation sequencing, then apply bioinformatics and machine learning models to profile the whole bacterial community.
Each section of the report is tied to published research. More than 100 peer-reviewed references are listed, section by section, on our Science page.
