Overview

With the microbial shotgun sequencing test you’ll get:

  • A report card splitting the microbiome into beneficial, variable, unfriendly and unknown microbes, above the most abundant species.

    Most comprehensive relative abundance

    120,000 genomes across bacteria, fungi, viruses, archaea, and parasites, down to 0.005% accuracy with age-specific insights.

  • A report card for butyrate production: the measured level, where it falls against its ranges, and how it has changed over time.

    Functional insights

    Assess microbiome functional capacity. Get dietary and supplement recommendations specific to your patient’s needs.

  • A patient’s action plan, step 1: reduce inflammation and restore balance, with the marker to bring down and three diet changes to make.

    Evidence-based personalized recommendations

    Get microbiome signatures linked to inflammatory conditions, and associations with a wide range of conditions from the most recently available research.

Patient management

All your patients in one place, with results you can act on

Each report arrives in your portal with prioritized diet, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations, ordered by impact for that specific patient. We don't earn commissions or sell our own supplements, so the guidance stays unbiased.

Reviews

Trusted by top practitioners and 200,000+ guts

Every result is built on shotgun metagenomics, functional pathway analysis, and research-validated biomarkers, so clinical decisions rest on data you can defend.

  • The practitioners that do peer-to-peer with me have been so knowledgeable. Patients love a prescriptive plan for what foods and probiotics they need to improve overall health!

  • What I find so valuable about shotgun genomics is how it opens up a broader view of the gut—it’s like stepping back and seeing the whole forest, not just a few trees.

Science & Technology

Scientifically validated, clinically actionable.

Evidence-based insights paired with clear, prioritized actions, designed to support measurable progress in patient outcomes.

  • Sequencing

    Shotgun metagenomics reads across 120,000+ genomes, with key species resolution at strain level.

    Detect microbes down to a 0.005% relative abundance for the most clinically relevant findings

  • Fungi CandidaBacteriophage
    Coverage

    Bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites, not a fixed panel of pre-selected targets.

  • Function

    Knowing which microbes are present is not the same as knowing what they are doing. We measure both.

  • Context

    Created and benchmarked against a longitudinal dataset of 200,000+ microbiome samples and counting, representing a wide range of ages and health backgrounds.

  • Pipeline

    From swab to result, every sample goes through rigorous quality control and every report is reviewed by a scientist before release.

  • Evidence

    83% lower odds of infant eczema in a randomized controlled trial, published and peer reviewed.
