What is a Microba test?
The Insight™ gut microbiome analysis provides a comprehensive view of your gut microbiome, using our proprietary analysis platform. This non-invasive test provides detailed information about the microorganisms inhabiting an individual's gut and how they function.
Do gut biome tests work?
Microbiome tests cannot diagnose health conditions. People should only purchase these products if they are interested in finding out which bacteria are present in their stool. Anyone with GI concerns should contact a doctor for advice.
How do I find my microbiome?
Microbiome tests — whether done in a doctor's office or at home — are conducted via a stool sample. Unlike other types of tests you may be able to do at home using blood or saliva samples, these are fecal tests that require fresh stool samples.
How do I get my gut microbiome tested?
Direct-to-consumer microbiome tests require little more than filling out a form online, paying a fee and sending in a stool sample. Two to three weeks later, you'll get a report that provides an overview of the microorganisms in your gut and whether they're associated with various diseases and disorders.
