Your Key To Optimal Gut Health, Unlocked
Are you curious about your gut health? Our Gut Health Microbiome Test provides a comprehensive look at your gut bacteria. It is like a snapshot of your gut ecosystem.
By analyzing your gut bacteria, we can uncover personalized dietary recommendations to optimize your digestion, boost your immune system, and take control of your overall health.
Our advanced, proprietary technology analyzes over 3,000 types of bacteria in your gut. It identifies how these bacteria process over 100 different nutrients and substances, giving us a detailed picture of your gut health.
How Does It Work?
Think of your gut as a garden.
Inside your gut, there are many different types of bacteria, kind of like different types of plants in a garden. Some bacteria are beneficial for your health, while others can cause problems.
The Directional Health Gut Health Microbiome Test is like a high-tech gardener.
It uses special tools to analyze the DNA of these bacteria. Specifically, it uses a comprehensive platform that converts taxonomic signatures (16S) and gene lists (WGS) into microbiome-wide quantitative functional capabilities (phenotypes). This helps us understand what each type of bacteria can do, like how well they break down food or fight off infections.
We measure how well these bacteria do their jobs.
We give each type of bacteria a score from 0 to 100, based on how well it performs its specific function. This helps us understand the overall health and balance of your gut ecosystem.
