Microbiome Test analyses the collection of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms living in the intestines, known as intestinal flora or intestinal microflora. These bacteria play an important role in your overall health, influencing everything from digestion to immune function and even mental well-being. There are hundreds of trillions of bacteria in your gut, mostly concentrated in the small and large intestines. These bacteria exist in balanced clusters, interacting with each other and their human host to maintain a healthy environment. Disruptions in this balance, called dysbiosis, can lead to health problems.

Microbiome Test looks at the diversity and composition of these gut bacteria to help identify imbalance that might be linked to various diseases. From the given test results, personalized recommendations for diet, lifestyle, and even potential treatments are offered by the doctor at our affiliated clinic to restore balance and improve overall health. The test not only provides insights into your digestive health but also examines your susceptibility to conditions like obesity, diabetes, and skin aging, which are influenced by the gut flora.

Microbiome Test works by analysing a stool sample to find out what types of microorganisms are living in your gut and in what amounts. The sample is sent to a lab, where scientists use advanced methods like DNA sequencing to identify the various bacteria, viruses, and fungi present. The final report will usually give a detailed picture of your gut health and may include suggestions for improvement based on your results concluded by the doctor.

The process typically begins with a 60 minutes consultation at our affiliated clinic. You will be given a collection kit where you can gather your stool sample. The sample will be returned to our affiliated clinic and will be sent directly to the laboratory for analysis. The doctor will share and review the results with you within 10 to 15 days, along with personalized guidance based on your gut profile.
