The gut microbiota is made up of the bacteria that live in our intestines and are involved in different functions of our body.

Understanding what your microbiota is like and what condition it is in can provide information about aspects related to digestion, nutrition, the immune system, and inflammation.

The 16S Clinical Gut Microbiome test analyzes the bacteria present in the gut from a stool sample, providing an overall view of its condition

The first section provides information about the overall state of your microbiota.

It analyzes:

• The balance of your microbiota.
• The diversity of bacteria present.
• How it compares with a healthy population.
• The type of microbiota.

This information provides an overall view of your microbiota and can help identify potential imbalances.

It is the starting point for understanding the state of your gut microbiota.

The microbiota is also related to the way our body processes and makes use of certain foods.

This section analyzes information related to:

• The digestion of gluten and lactose.
• How the body makes use of nutrients from food.
• Energy production from certain compounds.
• The relationship with weight and metabolism.

This information can be useful for guiding a more personalized nutritional approach, always taking into account the assessment of a healthcare professional.

The gut microbiota is not only related to digestion. It may also be linked to different functions of the body.

The report includes information related to:

• The gut-brain axis, including stress and mood.
• Intestinal inflammation.
• The immune system.
• Aspects related to metabolism and cardiovascular health.
• Detoxification and toxins.

This section provides a more comprehensive view of the relationship between the microbiota and health.

Microbiome analysis may be of interest to people experiencing:

• Digestive problems, such as bloating, gas, or irregular bowel movements.
• Suspected intolerances, such as those related to gluten or lactose.
• Stress or fatigue.
• Metabolic or inflammatory imbalances.

It can also be used as a tool within an approach focused on:

• Health and well-being optimization
• Preventive medicine
• Personalized nutrition

Taking the test is simple and can be done from home.

You will receive a kit to collect a small stool sample. Once collected, the sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis.

After the sample has been processed, you will receive a report with the results and personalized recommendations.

The stated turnaround time for receiving the report is 15 business days.

The analysis is based on advanced technology that allows the bacteria present in the sample to be studied with a high level of precision, even at the species level.

The test combines different analytical tools and sequencing technology to provide a detailed characterization of the microbiota.

Rather than using technical terms that may be difficult for patients to interpret, the key message is:

Advanced technology to help you understand more precisely which bacteria make up your microbiota.

The gut microbiome can provide relevant information about different aspects related to our health.

The 16S Clinical Gut Microbiome test allows you to understand the state of your microbiota and obtain structured information about what it is like, how it may relate to your everyday life, and how it may be connected to different functions of the body.

This information can contribute to a more personalized approach to nutrition and health care, always with interpretation by a healthcare professional.

The 16S Clinical Gut Microbiome is not a medical diagnostic test. It is a tool for functional and preventive assessment, and its results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional.
