People who want a microbiome snapshot/analysis and are less focused on detailed food-item dosing. |
| Sample type |
Typically a stool sample collected at home. |
Typically a stool sample collected at home. |
| Analysis method |
16S DNA sequencing and Shotgun Metagenomics within the Gut Health Operating System. |
Unclear from the information provided; typically microbiome sequencing/profiling from stool. |
| What it measures |
Gut microbiome composition and related ecosystem signals to support gut health interpretation. |
Gut microbial composition and/or related profiling signals used for interpretation. |
| Pathogens included? |
