Gut IQ Complete GI Microbiome Panel

The health of your gastrointestinal (GI) system plays a central role in your overall wellness.  Most of your body’s immune system originates in your gut and poor gut health has been linked to diseases and disorders in all parts of the human body.  However, millions of people in the United States are affected by GI issues.  Some are infections caused by pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites.  Symptoms of a GI infection include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, fever, abdominal pain, appetite changes, and more.      

 

The Gut IQ Complete GI Microbiome Panel uses the latest technology to provide the most comprehensive analysis of your GI microbiome, examining more than 200 markers in 16 GI categories.  This report will provide personalized information about:

The report will also make recommendations regarding diet and exercise based on your individual Gut IQ profile.
