Comprehensive Microbiome Analysis
What Does the GI Axis Advanced Gut Health Test Analyse?
This advanced stool test examines microbial composition alongside selected functional markers, helping build a broader picture of the microorganisms identified within your gut and the patterns present in your sample.
Microbial Composition
- Microbiome diversity and balance
- Beneficial and potentially harmful bacteria
- Fungi and yeast organisms
- Viruses and archaea
Pathogens & Functional Markers
- Parasites and pathogenic bacteria
- Digestive and metabolic interaction markers
- Nutrient-processing insights
- Selected immune and inflammatory markers
Key Insights Provided by the Test
The report brings together microbial and functional information to make complex laboratory findings easier to understand.
Diversity
Gut Microbiome Diversity
The test examines the variety and relative balance of microorganisms identified in your sample, helping you understand the overall composition of your microbiome.
Microbial Balance
Beneficial & Potentially Harmful Microbes
Your report identifies important microbial groups and can highlight patterns where certain organisms appear relatively high or low within the submitted sample.
Microbial Screen
Pathogens & Other Organisms
The analysis can identify pathogenic bacteria, parasites, fungi, yeast, viruses and archaea detected within the sample.
Functional Data
Functional Gut Health Markers
Depending on the report, functional insights can include markers associated with microbial metabolism, nutrient processing and other digestive processes.
Understanding Gut-Body Relationships
The microbiome interacts with multiple systems throughout the body. Your report can provide context around microbial pathways and associations linked to these wider systems.
Gut–Brain
Microbial associations relating to signalling between the gut and nervous system.
Gut–Immune
Insights relating to microbial activity and immune-system interactions.
Gut–Skin
Microbial patterns considered alongside recognised gut-skin relationships.
Metabolic Pathways
Information relating to microbial metabolism and nutrient-processing pathways.
Gut–Liver & Heart
Microbial associations involving wider metabolic and physiological systems.
What Your Report Includes
- Microbiome diversity and balance information
- Key bacterial groups and other microorganisms
- Fungal and parasitic detection where included
- Selected functional gut markers
- Metabolic and nutrient-processing insights
- Personalised dietary and lifestyle guidance
Reasons People Consider a Gut Health Test
People choose microbiome testing for many reasons, including wanting more information about their gut microbiome alongside concerns such as:
- Frequent bloating or gas
- Irregular bowel habits
- Digestive discomfort
- Difficulty identifying dietary patterns
- Fatigue or general wellbeing concerns
- Interest in personalised nutrition
The Science Behind The Test
How Microbiome Testing Analyses Your Sample
Modern microbiome testing uses molecular laboratory techniques to analyse microbial genetic material present in a stool sample. These methods can detect a broader range of organisms than traditional culture-based approaches alone.
The result should be understood as a snapshot of the microorganisms and associated markers detected at that point in time. Diet, medication, illness, travel and other factors may influence the microbiome, so results are most useful when interpreted in the appropriate context.
