GI Microbiome Profile Medium

The Microbiome Profile Test (Medium) from GetTested provides a comprehensive and detailed assessment of your gut health. It analyzes over 114 markers across key gastrointestinal categories. This advanced test uses cutting-edge DNA technology to ensure highly accurate and reliable results. It offers essential insights into your digestive system’s well-being.

How Does the Microbiome Profile Test (Medium) Differ from the Small Version?

The Microbiome Profile Test (Medium) offers a more in-depth analysis compared to the Small Test, which measures 78 markers. The Standard version includes over 114 markers. It also covers additional categories such as viral pathogens, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and more detailed gut functional markers like Zonulin and Calprotectin. These markers are essential for understanding gut permeability and inflammation. This makes the Standard Test ideal for those seeking a more thorough examination of their gut health. It is especially useful if you’re dealing with complex digestive issues or want a more comprehensive view of your microbiome.

What Does the Microbiome Profile Test (Medium) Measure?

This test evaluates a wide range of markers to give a full picture of your gut microbiome and overall digestive health, including:

• Key Phyla Commensal Abundance: Measures the balance of key gut bacteria such as Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria to assess your microbiome health.
• Parasites & Worms: Detects the presence of parasites like Giardia and Ascaris lumbricoides, which can lead to digestive disorders.
• Opportunistic Bacteria: Identifies bacteria that can become problematic if overgrown, such as Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas.
• Potential Autoimmune Triggers: Tests for bacteria like Klebsiella and Proteus, which have been linked to autoimmune conditions.
• Fungi & Yeast: Screens for yeast and fungi, including Candida species, that can affect gut health.
• Bacterial & Viral Pathogens: Identifies harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, Clostridium difficile, and Helicobacter pylori, as well as viral pathogens like Norovirus and Rotavirus.
• Normal Bacteria/Flora: Measures the presence of beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which are essential for maintaining gut health.
• Macroscopy Markers: Assesses stool color, form, and the presence of mucus or occult blood.
• Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs): Analyzes key fatty acids like Butyrate, Acetate, and Propionate, which are critical for gut health and energy production.
• GIT Functional Markers: Includes markers like Calprotectin, Pancreatic Elastase, and Zonulin, which provide insight into inflammation, enzyme function, and gut permeability.
