Ruminococcus spp.
Ruminococcus spp. are a group of anaerobic bacteria within the Firmicutes phylum, commonly found in the human gut microbiota. They play a significant role in fermenting complex carbohydrates and producing short-chain fatty acids like acetate and butyrate, which support gut health and energy metabolism. Ruminococcus species are considered important for maintaining a balanced gut environment, particularly because of their fiber-degrading abilities. Altered levels of Ruminococcus have been linked to digestive issues, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and metabolic disorders.
Description
It is a genus of gut bacteria involved in digesting dietary fibers and producing short-chain fatty acids.
It aids in breaking down complex carbohydrates and promotes a healthy gut lining by producing butyrate.
It may suggest low fiber intake, decreased microbial diversity, or gut dysbiosis.
In some cases, elevated levels may be associated with conditions such as IBS or gut inflammation, depending on the overall microbial context.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.
