| Main purpose |
Broad gut health overview with personalized nutrition and supplement recommendations tied to your diary and stool sample. |
Microbiome testing and reporting focused on your gut microbiome composition and related markers. |
| Best for |
People who want actionable, consumer-friendly guidance for food and supplements based on their own data. |
People who want a gut microbiome profile and may prefer a more lab/report-oriented output. |
| Sample type |
Stool sample (paired with a 3-day food diary). |
Stool sample (typically paired with online intake depending on the product). |
| Analysis method |
16S DNA sequencing and Shotgun Metagenomics within an internal Gut Health Operating System. |
Typically DNA sequencing–based microbiome analysis (method can vary by plan; confirm specifics). |
| What it measures |
Gut microbiome ecosystem characteristics and related insights used to generate recommendations. |
Microbial composition and related microbiome markers reported in the test output. |
| Pathogens included? |
Reported in a way intended for gut health context; pathogen testing scope can depend on the report structure. |
Often includes certain clinically relevant organisms depending on the test panel; confirm whether pathogens are specifically targeted. |
