Complete Gut Health Profile / Advanced Microbiome Package /
The microbiome is the overall bacterial mass of the gut, which includes the many microorganisms that inhabit it. Gut microbiota is a similar term often used as a collective term for all microorganisms that form the bacterial environment of the gut.
As dysbiosis or dysbacteriosis are denoted disorders in the balance of the intestinal microflora. The condition is associated with the manifestation of pathogenic microorganisms and their peculiar “overpowering” over the good bacteria, caring for the proper functioning of digestive processes.
What is involved in an intestinal health examination?
The examination is complex and has several key aspects. At its core is the process of analysing the composition of the microbiome according to the type of microorganisms involved. It also assesses the presence of bacterial dysbacteriosis as well as assessing the mucosa-protective microflora. Within the framework of the test, the enterotype and the specific distribution of bacterial strains are also determined.The test method itself is based on a new generation of sequencing and quantitative DNA determination.
- Gut microbiome including yeasts and moulds;
- Fecal pH
- Digestive efficiency:
Digestive residues, Bile acid, Pancreatic elastase; - Mucosal protection: secretory IgA, Eosinophil protein X, beta-defensin 2;
- Inflammatory markers: Calprotectin, Lysozyme, Lactoferrin;
- Permeability markers: alpha-1-antitrypsin, zonulin;
- Bacterial metabolic activity – Short-chain fatty acids, Beta glucuronidase, tryptophan, histamine in feces;
- Bleeding and tumor markers: hemoglobin (occult blood)
Risk health problems associated with intestinal dysbiosis:
Studies have shown that the manifestation of dysbacteriosis can be associated with diseases of various kinds that predispose to its onset.The group includes metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, inflammatory diseases of the digestive system, some autoimmune diseases and even allergies, neurological problems such as autism, Parkinson’s and depression.

Important – how to prepare for the test?
A biological sample from the faeces is provided for laboratory analysis. It is recommended not to take antibiotic and probiotic medications in the 2-week period before it is taken, as they may affect the test.
For the preparation of the material for the study you can get special kits “GUT HEALTH” at the following addresses:
