Microbiomix Metagenomic Mapping

The Microbiomix Metagenomic Mapping test is a comprehensive stool analysis that uses advanced metagenomic shotgun sequencing to evaluate the full range of microorganisms present in the gut. By analysing all genetic material in a sample, this method provides an unbiased view of the microbiome, identifying over 28,000 microbial species, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms. This approach offers a more detailed and complete picture of gut health compared with targeted tests that focus on specific microbes.

In addition to microbial identification, the test measures key biochemical markers related to digestion, inflammation, immune activity, and intestinal barrier function. These include markers such as calprotectin, pancreatic elastase, secretory IgA, zonulin, beta-glucuronidase, stool pH, steatocrit, and short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, acetate, propionate, and valerate). Together, these indicators help assess digestive efficiency, microbial metabolism, gut immune responses, and intestinal permeability.

Through a simple stool sample, the Microbiomix Metagenomic Mapping test can support the investigation of a range of health concerns, including digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and constipation, as well as conditions like food intolerances, IBS/IBD, metabolic disorders, and issues related to malnutrition, malabsorption, or impaired digestion.
