What this test measures
A wide-ranging panel of essential markers, including:
✔ Full microbiome profile: Detailed mapping of beneficial, neutral and potentially harmful bacteria.
✔ Yeasts and parasites: Detect unwanted organisms that may be contributing to symptoms.
✔ Malabsorption indicators: Understand how well your body breaks down and absorbs nutrients.
✔ Inflammation and gut barrier markers: Includes calprotectin, secretory IgA and zonulin — key for understanding inflammation, immune response and intestinal permeability.
What’s included in your GI Comprehensive package
Everything you need for accurate insight and personalised action:
✔ At-home stool collection kit: Easy, discreet and non-invasive.
✔ Prepaid return shipping: Send your sample straight to the lab at no extra cost.
