Thorne’s Gut Health Test provides a detailed analysis and a personalized plan that targets your GI discomfort to optimize wellness. Learn how to create meaningful changes in your gut’s microbiome with the combination of cutting-edge sequencing and patent-pending wipe technology that makes the sample collection process simple. 

What is reported:

Intestinal Permeability: Understand your personal risk for how easily particles can pass through your intestinal wall based on your microbiome composition.

Gut Dysbiosis: Measures the presence of any dysbiosis – an imbalance in the bacteria in the gut. An optimal balance of gut bacteria is associated with health, wellness, and a reduced risk of various disease conditions.

Digestion: Learn how your age, prescription medications, over-the-counter products, surgery, injuries, and various lifestyle factors can impact your digestive capabilities.

Inflammation: Understand your personal risk for inflammation and patterns of inflammatory activity.

Enteric Nervous System Imbalance: Learn how your bacterial makeup impacts the real-time communication between your gut and brain and how it affects your autonomic and central nervous systems, nutrient metabolism, sleep, mood, food cravings, stress levels, and more.

Diversity: The quality and the quantity of the microbes in your gut influence multiple metrics of health, weight, and metabolism, as well as your personal risk for disease. Your Beta-Diversity score compares your microbiome to the healthy microbiomes of others.

Micronutrients: This is the score associated with your gut’s capability to produce folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and niacin (vitamin B3) based on the makeup of your microbiome.

Short-Chain Fatty Acids: Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) help maintain a normal level of inflammation in the gut, while also supporting the gut’s immune function. Your score reflects the capability of your gut to produce SCFA based on your gut’s microbial composition.

Immune Readiness: Your gut’s microbial composition plays a key role in keeping you healthy when you are confronted with immune stressors. Your score is derived from an advanced proprietary equation.

Pathogens: Pathogens in the air, food, and drinking water can cause immediate and undesirable symptoms. Your sample is screened for 11 undesirable pathogens, including viruses and parasites.
