- SPP (Species Parent Phylum) Reporting: Allows identification of parent-level bacterial species even when sub-species are not detected in the sample.
- Metabolic Performance: Assess how effectively your microbiota supports energy and metabolism.
- Carbohydrate Processing: Learn how your gut breaks down and utilises carbs.
- Protein Breakdown: Understand protein absorption and energy conversion.
- Fat Utilisation: Evaluate your microbiome’s role in lipid digestion.
- Vitamin & Mineral Production: Discover your gut’s capacity to synthesise essential nutrients.
- Lactose Processing: Determine your ability to digest dairy sugars.
- Sugar Response Profile: Track how your microbiota reacts to sugar intake.
- Processed Foods & Sweetener Tolerance: Examine your gut’s response to additives and artificial sweeteners.
- Digestive Transit: Insights into bowel movement regularity and transit time.
- Antibiotic Impact: Measure past antibiotic effects on your microbial community.
- Sleep Correlation: Explore links between gut health and sleep quality.
- Health Condition Links: Evaluate associations with 24 specific conditions & diseases.
