The Gut IQ Profile is a comprehensive stool analysis providing a broad view of overall gut health by combining PCR and genomic sequencing technologies. Metagenomic sequencing analyzes the genetic material of entire microbial communities in a stool sample. This technique, known as shotgun sequencing, randomly and unbiasedly sequences all genetic material, covering over 28,000 microbial species. Unlike targeted approaches, it offers a comprehensive view, revealing previously unknown or unculturable microorganisms. From a simple stool sample, it provides detailed information on the microbiome and biochemical markers related to digestion, inflammation, and intestinal permeability.

The Bristle Oral Microbiome Test is a comprehensive oral microbiome test that utilizes NGS technology to identify and measure bacteria, fungi, and more from a saliva sample, allowing practitioners to measure oral health status, identify oral conditions, and create personalized treatment protocols. This test cannot be ordered for patients under 16 years of age.

This test uses US BioTek's advanced quantitative PCR technology to analyze the oral microbiome, crucial for understanding and managing both local dental issues and systemic health conditions. This testing offers vital insights for improving oral health through targeted dietary and lifestyle changes.
