A gut microbiome test analyzes genetic material from a stool sample to assess the types and balance of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses) in your digestive system. It is used to identify potential gut imbalances, understand their influence on overall health, and provide personalized recommendations for improving diet, lifestyle, and the use of probiotics to support digestion and immunity. These tests can also reveal health risks, screen for pathogens, and check micronutrient absorption, though they are not a diagnostic tool for specific diseases.
