What is GxGutHealth?
GxGutHealth is snapshot of your microbiome that utilizes a comprehensive platform that converts taxonomic signatures (16S) and gene lists (WGS) into microbiome-wide quantitative functional capabilities (phenotypes). A quantitative measure of each phenotype in a microbiome sample is computed on a scale from 0 to 100%.
Our proprietary collection of predicted metabolic phenotypes presently covers manually curated pathways for > 100 major nutrients and metabolites across >3,000 reference genomes representing the microbiome.
This enables a deeper understanding of how microbes are interacting with the host, each other, and the diet, giving physiological meaning and a science-based path for those looking to actively modulate the microbiome.
How it works: Collect and analyze a fecal sample
A test specific test kit will be sent to the address on your order. Collect a fecal sample using the collection device and instructions provided in the kit, then return the sample to our lab partner in the included pre-paid shipping package.
Our CLIA-certified lab will then perform a scientific analysis of the sample and provide the information required for us to generate a customize microbiome report.
Personalized report
You’ll get a comprehensive microbiome report that includes your microbiome diversity. Phenotypes include Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production, Amino Acid Production, Vitamin Production, and Sugar Utilization. Most importantly, the report will recommend specific food and Basic Nutrients that will help balance your microbiome. Test results are typically available within 4-5 weeks.
