Description
The BiomeFX Microbiome Stool Test is a comprehensive gut microbiome analysis developed by Microbiome Labs. It’s designed to provide an in-depth look at your gut ecosystem using advanced DNA sequencing and functional analysis.
🧫 What the Test Measures
1. Microbial Diversity and Composition
- Measures the richness and evenness of bacterial species
- Compares your diversity to a healthy reference population
- Identifies dominant, keystone, and opportunistic microbes
2. Functional Pathways
- Assesses gene functions associated with:
- Short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production (e.g., butyrate, acetate, propionate)
- Bile acid metabolism
- Tryptophan and neurotransmitter metabolism
- Mucin degradation
- LPS (lipopolysaccharide) biosynthesis
- Vitamin biosynthesis (e.g., B12, K2)
3. Dysbiosis and Pathogenic Potential
- Flags microbial imbalances or overgrowths
- Screens for markers of inflammation, leaky gut, and immune modulation
4. Metabolic Health Indicators
- Evaluates how gut microbes might influence:
- Blood sugar regulation
- Fat storage/metabolism
- Appetite and cravings
- Estrogen recycling and detox pathways
