GI360 Microbiome only x1

Overview

The GI360 Microbiome only x1 provides an analysis of gut bacterial composition by examining stool samples through DNA-based methods. This approach assesses the abundance and diversity of over 45 selected bacterial groups spanning six major bacterial phyla using multiplex PCR technology. The results are compared to a well-characterised reference population, offering a profile that reflects typical gut microbial patterns from a single-day sample collection. The test focuses exclusively on the microbiome without including assessments of pathogens, parasites, or digestive markers.

This analysis supports the understanding of overall gut bacterial diversity and relative bacterial levels, presenting findings through summary reports and visual formats. It includes an index reflecting microbial balance derived directly from microbiome data. Such outputs are designed to provide context to the complex ecosystem within the gut, aiding interpretation without making clinical judgements or diagnoses.

Users often integrate the GI360 Microbiome only x1 results with lifestyle factors like diet, medication use, and other laboratory information to gain a broader perspective. Review alongside additional modules, such as those measuring zonulin or other digestive markers, can offer more comprehensive insights. The test is intended to support wellness, lifestyle, and research interests by providing valuable information on gut microbial profiles.
