Microbiome Check

Beneficial bacteria play a crucial role in digestion, immune function, and overall gut health. These bacteria help break down food, produce vitamins, and protect against harmful pathogens.

Lactobacillus species

Beneficial bacteria that produce lactic acid, supporting gut barrier function and immune health.

Bifidobacterium species

Key beneficial bacteria that help digest fiber, produce B vitamins, and support immune function.

Akkermansia muciniphila

A beneficial bacterium that helps maintain the gut lining and supports metabolic health.

Faecalibacterium prausnitzii

An important anti-inflammatory bacterium that produces butyrate, a key energy source for colon cells.

Pathogenic bacteria can cause inflammation, digestive issues, and other health problems when present in excessive amounts.

E. coli (pathogenic strains)

Certain strains of E. coli can cause gastrointestinal infections and inflammation.

Klebsiella pneumoniae

Can cause gut inflammation and has been linked to autoimmune conditions.

Citrobacter species

Opportunistic pathogens that can cause infections when gut balance is disrupted.

Enterobacter species

Can contribute to gut inflammation and may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease.

Parasitic infections can cause digestive symptoms, nutrient malabsorption, and chronic health issues.

Blastocystis hominis

A common parasite that may cause digestive symptoms in some individuals.

Dientamoeba fragilis

A parasite that can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and other digestive symptoms.

Entamoeba histolytica

A pathogenic parasite that can cause severe gastrointestinal infections.

Giardia lamblia

A common parasite that causes giardiasis, leading to diarrhea and malabsorption.

Yeast overgrowth, particularly Candida, can disrupt gut balance and contribute to various symptoms.

Candida albicans

The most common yeast that can overgrow and cause digestive and systemic symptoms.

Candida species (other)

Other Candida species that may contribute to yeast overgrowth.

Geotrichum

A fungus that can cause infections in immunocompromised individuals.

These markers assess how well your digestive system is functioning and processing food.

Elastase

A marker of pancreatic function and enzyme production for protein digestion.

Secretory IgA

An immune marker that indicates gut immune function and response to pathogens.

Anti-gliadin IgA

An immune marker that may indicate sensitivity to gluten.

Calprotectin

A marker of gut inflammation, elevated in inflammatory bowel disease.

Beta-glucuronidase

An enzyme that can affect hormone metabolism and detoxification.

Short-chain fatty acids

Produced by beneficial bacteria, these support gut health and reduce inflammation.
