GI Comprehensive
A foundational look at your gut health
Our Advanced Gut Health test is popular for those with long-standing gut issues. It uses a combination of qPCR testing and 16s rRNA sequencing to give comprehensive and extensive insight into gut health via a non-invasive stool sample.
The test measures an extensive list of key markers, such as calprotectin and secretory IgA, as well as zonulin to provide insightful results for those who want to investigate more than our GI Insights Test.
It analyses the most essential markers, including:
A full microbiome panel
Yeasts and parasites
Malabsorption indicators
Functional markers such as calprotectin and Secretory IgA and Zonulin
Additional Info
Biovis Diagnostik is one of the world’s leading laboratories in gut health testing, offering microbiome analysis and SIBO testing. They use cutting-edge 16s rRNA sequencing technology and qPCR testing to give detailed information about gastrointestinal health. Biovis is one of the only laboratories to quantify results by writing the colony form in units, as opposed to percentages only, which allows a deeper understanding of bacterial samples.
Turnaround Time: 14 working days
Steps:
- Eat a normal diet for one week before the test
- Collect one stool sample, using the stool collector
- Send the sample to the lab, following the instructions
- Receive an in-depth report of clinically-relevant markers
