| Main purpose |
Broad gut health overview with personalized nutrition and supplement guidance based on your diary and stool results. |
Gut microbiome analysis with a report intended to help interpret gut health and guide next steps. |
| Best for |
People who want actionable, diary-driven nutrition and scientifically grounded probiotic/prebiotic recommendations. |
People who want a microbiome report and interpretation geared to their general gut health goals. |
| Sample type |
Stool sample collected at home, paired with a 3-day food diary. |
Stool sample collected at home (food diary pairing depends on the specific offering). |
| Analysis method |
16S DNA sequencing and shotgun metagenomics used within its Gut Health Operating System. |
Microbiome profiling from stool (exact method may vary by package; confirm on the product page). |
| What it measures |
Gut microbiome composition and related functional/ecosystem interpretation to support guidance. |
Gut microbiome composition and interpretation for gut health relevance. |
| Pathogens included? |
Not primarily positioned as a targeted pathogen test; the focus is broader ecosystem and health interpretation. |
Often includes an assessment of potentially relevant taxa; targeted pathogen coverage depends on the test design. |
| Functional / microbiome balance insight |
Provides ecosystem-level interpretation alongside balance insights intended to translate into food and supplement choices. |
May provide functional or balance-related interpretation depending on analysis pipeline used. |
