A Gut Microbiome Test focuses on analyzing the microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract, providing crucial insights into the composition and diversity of the microbial community. This information is valuable for understanding the microbiome's potential impact on health, including digestion, immune function, and metabolism. In contrast, a stool test can assess factors like blood, parasites, and substances, serving more as an elimination test to identify potential causes of specific conditions rather than pinpointing the root cause directly. A Blood Test, designed to analyze blood components, takes a broad approach by examining red and white blood cells, hormones, nutrients, and markers of organ function.
The kit basically is a stool collection kit with a specialized tube containing a liquid, which is used to transport the sample without contamination and DNA degradation.

Clear instructions, with infographics about the collection process, and the relevant dos and don’ts will be sent to you along with the kit.

The Gut Microbiome Test provides a snapshot of all the probiotics species that are present in your gut and thus will help you to fine tune your probiotic requirements, with specific species combination that are missing or low in your gut.
No. Please collect the sample after you complete your antibiotic course [which is usually 3-5 days], wait for a couple of more days [total of a week], and then collect the sample. However, if your doctor/physician have asked you to take the test during the course, or you are on long term antibiotic medication for a chronic disease, then you can collect the sample without any wait. We request you highlight the consumption of any antibiotic if the sample is collected during or just after antibiotic consumption.
That’s great! However, is it personalized for you? based on your microbiome? This personalization is critical, since all the food you eat passes through the intestine where these microorganisms act on them, helping in overall digestion. Different microorganisms act on different foods to produce different metabolites, which might be good or bad for our health. Since our recommendations are based on your unique microbiome, its personalized to you.
No!! It is a wellness test. The test would tell you about the current status of your gut health, impact of that on other health issues, and provide you with personalized dietary, probiotic, and prebiotic recommendations for significantly improving your wellness.
