Gut bacteria influence
your overall health.

Microbiome Test - Genetics

Microbiomix analyzes the DNA of thousands of organisms like bacteria, yeast, and parasites that live in your gut. Your results include descriptions of these organisms and their by-products and suggest changes to your diet that can help you stay healthy.

Being proactive with your long-term health starts with your gut microbiome. By nurturing good bacteria and reducing the harmful ones, you can lower your risk for disease and avoid future problems.

Microbiome testing reveals the choices you can make today to shape your microbiome's genetic makeup and set yourself up for long-term health.

How will this test help me?

Your results offer insight on:

Disease Risk

Bacterial by-products can contribute to chronic diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's, obesity, cancer, and heart disease.

Specific Fiber Need

Different bacteria prefer different fiber-rich food sources. Learn which foods would be best to optimize your microbiome.

Harmful Bacteria

The presence of harmful bacteria may lead to diarrhea or may be linked with chronic diseases.

Gut Barrier

Certain bacterial by-products can harm your gut lining while others can help. This can impact immune function, allergy formation, and inflammation.

Vitamin Production

Believe it or not, your gut bacteria actually produce B-vitamins and vitamin K, which are essential for nourishing your body.

Gas Production

Bacteria produce hydrogen sulfide and methane gases. Specific foods may lower the potential to produce these gases.
