Gut Markers

Trimethylamine (TMA) is a metabolite produced by gut bacteria during the breakdown of choline, carnitine, and lecithin—nutrients commonly found in meat, eggs, and dairy. In the liver, TMA is converted into Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a compound that has been linked to cardiovascular risk in several studies. Elevated TMA/TMAO levels may reflect high microbial conversion activity in the gut, imbalanced microbiota, or a diet rich in animal-based products. While research is ongoing, high TMAO has been associated with inflammation and impaired cholesterol metabolism. Balanced gut flora and plant-forward diets may help maintain healthy TMAO levels.

TMA / TMAO (Trimethylamine / Trimethylamine N-oxide)

Pancreatic elastase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas that plays a crucial role in protein digestion. Measuring its levels in stool can offer valuable insights into pancreatic function. Because the enzyme remains stable in fecal matter, it serves as a dependable marker for evaluating the exocrine function of the pancreas, particularly in diagnosing pancreatic insufficiency.

Pancreatic elastase

The Dysbiosis Index is a metric used to evaluate the level of imbalance in the gut microbiome, indicating the presence and severity of dysbiosis. It measures changes in microbial diversity and composition compared to a healthy reference group. A higher index indicates more significant dysbiosis, which may be associated with health problems such as inflammation, digestive disorders, or metabolic conditions.

Dysbiosis

Enterotypes are classifications of the human gut microbiome based on the dominant bacterial groups and their metabolic functions. There are three main enterotypes: Bacteroides-dominant (Type 1), Prevotella-dominant (Type 2), and Ruminococcus-dominant (Type 3). Each type has unique characteristics in how nutrients like fats, carbohydrates, and proteins are metabolized. For example, Prevotella (Type 2) is more efficient at carbohydrate utilization, especially in fiber-rich diets, but less capable of synthesizing certain vitamins. Your enterotype may influence nutrient absorption, gut health, and how your body responds to different types of diets.

Enterotype

Diversity refers to the range of bacterial species found in the gut microbiome. A higher microbial diversity is typically linked to better digestive health, immune function, and resilience against pathogens. Conversely, low diversity may be associated with inflammation, poor nutrient absorption, and various chronic health issues.

Diversity

Histamine-producing bacteria are gut microbes capable of converting the amino acid histidine into histamine, a biogenic amine that plays a central role in immune responses and allergic reactions. While histamine is a necessary signaling molecule, excess production in the gut can contribute to symptoms resembling allergies, such as rashes, headaches, or digestive discomfort. These bacteria may thrive in the presence of chronic stress, poor gut barrier function, or diets rich in histidine-containing foods. Elevated levels are associated with conditions like histamine intolerance or pseudoallergies. Maintaining a balanced microbiome and proper gut barrier integrity may help reduce histamine load from microbial sources.

Histamine-producing bacteria

Indoxyl sulfate is a uremic toxin produced when gut bacteria break down the amino acid tryptophan into indole, which is then absorbed and transformed into indoxyl sulfate in the liver. While small amounts are typically eliminated through the kidneys, elevated levels may suggest impaired detoxification, dysbiosis, or kidney stress. Indoxyl sulfate has been associated with oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, and vascular dysfunction—particularly in people with reduced kidney function. It acts as a marker of both microbial activity and the body’s capacity to process and remove metabolic waste.

Indoxyl sulfate

Ammonia is a nitrogen-containing compound produced in the gut through the breakdown of proteins and amino acids by intestinal bacteria. In a healthy gut, most ammonia is either used by microbes or absorbed and detoxified by the liver. Elevated fecal ammonia levels may indicate excessive protein fermentation, gut dysbiosis, or an imbalance between beneficial and pathogenic bacteria. High levels can contribute to mucosal irritation, inflammation, and may compromise gut barrier function. Ammonia levels are a useful marker of microbial protein metabolism and intestinal health.

Ammonia

Secondary bile acids are produced in the colon through bacterial modification of primary bile acids originally made in the liver. While they contribute to digestion and microbial balance, high levels may indicate dysbiosis, excessive fat consumption, or disrupted bile acid metabolism. Certain secondary bile acids, such as deoxycholic acid (DCA) and lithocholic acid (LCA), have been linked to mucosal irritation, inflammation, and a heightened risk of colorectal conditions when levels remain elevated. Testing their presence in stool aids in evaluating gut microbial activity and bile detoxification.

Secondary bile acids

Beta-glucuronidase is an enzyme produced by certain gut bacteria that can break the bond between glucuronic acid and various toxins, hormones, or drugs that the liver has prepared for elimination. Elevated beta-glucuronidase activity in stool may indicate a microbial imbalance and can interfere with detoxification by reactivating substances like estrogen and xenobiotics in the colon. This reactivation may contribute to systemic toxicity or hormonal imbalances. Measuring beta-glucuronidase in stool helps assess microbial metabolism and detoxification efficiency in the gut.

Beta-glucuronidase

Phenols are organic compounds produced by gut bacteria during the fermentation of certain amino acids, especially tyrosine. Some phenols, like p-cresol, can be toxic at high concentrations and are linked to dysbiosis or imbalances in the gut microbiota. Elevated phenol levels in stool may indicate microbial activity that could strain the liver’s detoxification systems. Monitoring phenols helps evaluate how effectively the gut is managing protein breakdown and microbial fermentation.

Phenols

Equol is a compound produced by gut bacteria during the metabolism of the soy isoflavone daidzein. It functions as a non-steroidal estrogen and may offer various health benefits, including antioxidant and hormone-balancing effects. However, only certain individuals have the specific gut bacteria capable of producing equol. Measuring equol in stool samples helps determine whether the gut microbiome can efficiently convert daidzein, providing insight into microbial diversity and function related to estrogen metabolism.

Equol
