Gut Microbiome Analysis
₹6,999 analysis only · ₹17,999 analysis + probiotic
The downstream engine of everything your body does.
Your gut microbiome is involved in hormone metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, immune regulation, inflammation, nutrient absorption, and metabolic function. The gut microbiome analysis gives you a comprehensive picture of your gut ecosystem: what is thriving, what is missing, and what needs to change.
Lab partner: Bugspeak, research-grade microbiome analysis.

What the report shows: a complete picture of your gut ecosystem
Microbial diversity and foundational strains
How diverse your microbiome is, and whether the foundational bacterial strains that underpin gut health are present and thriving. Missing strains are identified for targeted replenishment.
Pathogen load and infection markers
Identification of any pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites present in your gut ecosystem. Pathogen buildup that would otherwise go undetected on a standard stool test.
Short-chain fatty acid production
How well your microbiome is producing short-chain fatty acids, the compounds that feed your gut lining, regulate inflammation, and drive metabolic health. A direct measure of gut functional output.
Neurotransmitter synthesis capacity
Your gut produces over 90% of your body's serotonin and significant amounts of GABA and dopamine precursors. The report shows whether your microbiome has the capacity to support this, and where it is falling short.
Vitamin and mineral absorption capacity
Whether your gut microbiome is supporting or impairing the absorption of key vitamins and minerals: B12, K2, folate, and others. The reason some deficiencies persist despite supplementation.
Immune system status
70% of your immune system lives in your gut. The report reflects the immune regulatory state of your microbiome, including markers of intestinal permeability and systemic immune activation.

One preparation requirement
No antibiotics or antacids for 7 days before collection. Both antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors (antacids) dramatically alter gut microbiome composition. Testing within 7 days of either will produce inaccurate results. If you have recently taken either, wait before sample collection.
No fasting required. No timing requirements around time of day. Collect your sample when you have a natural bowel movement.
