NGS technology examines millions of DNA reads from a single stool sample - reading every piece of genetic code present. This is not a basic gut test. It reveals what standard tests simply can't see.
Powered by Independente Research
Standard gut tests look at a handful of markers. NGS reads every piece of genetic code in your sample - delivering a complete picture of your gut ecosystem that has never been possible before.
Your report doesn't just list bacteria - it explains what your results mean, why they matter, and exactly what to do next.
Every result uses a simple green/amber/red traffic-light system so you can instantly see what's healthy, what needs support, and what's out of balance.
A clear, trackable score showing how balanced your gut is - monitor it over time as you make changes and see real improvements.
Personalised guidance on which foods support your microbiome and which may be holding you back - based on your actual biological results.
See which bacteria, phyla, and microbes are present, what they do, and how they affect digestion, immunity, and metabolism.
We analyse inflammation, butyrate, bile acids, gas, toxins, and more - revealing how your microbiome is functioning, not just what's there.
Every result includes clear explanations, food advice, and practical actions to help you rebalance your gut with confidence.
Uncover the distinct microbial communities within your gastrointestinal tract and understand what they mean for your health.
Your gut microbiome plays a key role in:
Understanding your microbiome helps explain why symptoms happen, not just that they do. What Your NGS Gut Test Reveals. Your personalised report provides insight into:
Explore your gut enterotypes to discover the distinct microbial communities within your gastrointestinal tract - revealing how they influence your health conditions, dietary patterns, nutrient metabolism, susceptibility to targeted ailments, and anti-inflammatory activity.
One of the most important bacterial groups in the gut. They break down complex carbohydrates, producing short-chain fatty acids that fuel the gut lining, reduce inflammation, and support digestion. Healthy levels are linked to better weight control, blood sugar regulation, and gut stability.
A key fibre-digesting bacterium common in people who eat plant-rich, high-fibre diets. It produces SCFAs that support digestion, reduce inflammation, and fuel the gut lining. Healthy levels are linked to improved metabolic balance and immune regulation.
Vital for breaking down resistant starches and complex fibres. It produces butyrate - a powerful SCFA that strengthens the gut barrier, reduces inflammation, and protects the intestinal lining. Also supports microbiome diversity and long-term gut stability.
The major microbial kingdoms that shape gut resilience and wellness - mapped in detail by your NGS report.
Discover the harmony within your gut by exploring your phylum - the biological blueprint that drives microbiome diversity, fuels your energy and metabolism, strengthens your gut barrier, and keeps your immune system balanced and inflammation in check.
Form the backbone of carbohydrate digestion and immune balance. They regulate inflammation, metabolism, and microbial balance by processing fibres into beneficial SCFAs.
Specialist microorganisms contributing to gut diversity and metabolic processing. Euryarchaeota regulate gas production and carbohydrate metabolism, while Cyanobacteria reflect dietary and environmental influences.
Firmicutes are essential for producing butyrate - a key fuel for the gut lining. Fusobacteria, when balanced, contribute to microbial diversity, though elevated levels may be associated with inflammation.
Help regulate gut stability and immune activity. Higher Proteobacteria levels may signal inflammation or stress in the gut. Lentisphaerae support microbial diversity and ecosystem balance.
Influence gut lining health and metabolic regulation. Verrucomicrobia (including Akkermansia) help maintain the gut's protective mucus layer and support blood sugar and weight balance.
Your gut bacteria are your internal vitamin factory producing B-vitamins and Vitamin K that support energy, immunity, and cellular health.
Your gut bacteria are quietly running one of your body's most vital systems producing the B-vitamins and Vitamin K that power your energy, strengthen your immunity, and keep every cell functioning - and NGS sequencing reveals exactly how well yours is doing it.
These vitamins drive energy production, nerve function, and metabolism. NGS shows how well your microbiome supports these vital energy pathways at a cellular level.
Essential for hormone balance, brain function, blood sugar control, and fat metabolism. NGS reveals how well your gut microbiome supports these critical pathways.
Your microbiome plays a key role in Vitamin K2 production, supporting bone health, blood clotting, and cardiovascular protection. NGS shows how efficiently your gut is fuelling you at a cellular level.
NGS pathway analysis measures what your microbes produce and how they function influencing digestion, energy, inflammation, immune balance, and long-term metabolic health.
Whether your microbiome is producing protective SCFAs and butyrate to calm inflammation and support immune balance.
Protein breakdown byproducts. Higher activity may be linked to gut irritation, bloating, and increased inflammatory load.
How your gut processes bile acids, essential for fat digestion. Imbalances can affect cholesterol, metabolism, and inflammation.
Your gut's ability to produce butyrate - a key fuel for the gut lining that supports barrier strength and anti-inflammatory protection.
Potential endotoxin activity from Gram-negative bacteria. Elevated activity may be associated with inflammation and gut permeability.
Methane-producing microbes. Higher methane activity is often linked to slower gut transit and constipation-type symptoms.
How well your microbiome may help manage dietary oxalates. Weaker activity can be associated with higher oxalate load and kidney stone susceptibility.
Signals linked to immune activation and inflammatory output - higher levels may reflect dysbiosis and increased systemic inflammatory risk.
How strongly gut bacteria ferment protein. Excessive fermentation may increase unwanted byproducts linked to discomfort and gut irritation.
Microbial conversion of choline/carnitine into TMA. Higher activity can be associated with cardiometabolic risk in certain individuals.
Tracks hydrogen sulphide activity. In excess, it may irritate the gut lining and contribute to odour, gas, and inflammation.
Pathways connected to purine processing and metabolic load - relevant for those monitoring uric acid stress or gout risk.
