What do the Advanced test's health and immunity reports include?

Updated on

They analyse patterns in your microbiome associated with different aspects of health:

  • Microbial hormonal profile (estrobolome). Bacterial genes involved in the recycling of oestrogens in the gut.
  • Oral–gut axis. Presence of bacteria normally found in the mouth in your stool.
  • Inflammation. Balance between microorganisms and functions associated with pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Bacterial overgrowth. Patterns of microorganisms that have been associated with bacterial overgrowth.
  • Histamine. The genetic potential of your microbiome to produce histamine.
  • Systemic protection. Indicators related to the intestinal barrier, such as butyrate production.

These reports do not measure hormones, inflammation or intestinal permeability, and they do not diagnose SIBO, intolerances or any disease. They are included in the Advanced microbiome test and the Ultra microbiome test.
