Clinical Intestinal Microbiome

• Third-generation metagenomic sequencing: the most advanced intestinal microbiota analysis.
• Detects bacteria, fungi, viruses and archaea at species and strain level.
• Identifies intestinal dysbiosis and its relationship with your symptoms.
• Provides dietary and lifestyle guidance to share with your nutritionist or doctor.
• The only Clinical Gut Microbiome with functional analysis of the intestinal ecosystem.

You must not have taken antibiotics during the previous 3 weeks. Avoid NSAID anti-inflammatory drugs in the days before sample collection. Do not take probiotics during the previous 2 weeks.

Within 15 working days, you will receive a notification by SMS or email. The report includes taxonomic composition, metabolic functions, dysbiosis indicators and personalised recommendations.

Sample type: Stool (home self-collection kit)

Turnaround time: 15 working days

The intestinal microbiota test analyses the composition and function of your microbiota in detail using metagenomic sequencing. It detects intestinal dysbiosis, pathogens and imbalances that may underlie digestive, immunological or metabolic disorders. It includes dietary guidance that you can take to your doctor or nutritionist.

The intestinal microbiota is the community of living microorganisms that inhabit our intestine. It performs vital functions in nutrition and metabolism, immune system regulation, protection against pathogens and neurotransmitter production. Intestinal dysbiosis, its imbalance is associated with multiple chronic diseases.

A varied diet rich in fibre and fermented foods, regular exercise, good sleep and stress reduction all help improve the intestinal microbiota. The Clinical Gut Microbiome identifies your specific imbalances so that personalised measures can be taken, unlike generic recommendations.

Intestinal dysbiosis is associated with irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases, as well as anxiety and depression. This is why intestinal microbiota analysis is becoming increasingly relevant in clinical practice.

The Clinical Gut Microbiome from Laboratorio Echevarne is among the most advanced available: third-generation metagenomic sequencing compared with conventional 16S rRNA, species- and strain-level analysis, microbiota/dysbiosis assessment, fungi, viruses and archaea analysis, together with guidance for your healthcare professional. Which is the best microbiota test depends on the depth of the analysis: this one is among the most comprehensive on the Spanish market due to its level of detail.

What does the Clinical Gut Microbiome include: complete taxonomic composition (bacteria, fungi, viruses, archaea), functional analysis of the intestinal ecosystem, intestinal permeability indicators, evidence of intestinal dysbiosis, opportunistic pathogens, and Mediterranean diet and lifestyle recommendations.
