The GI Effects Stool Profiles use DNA analysis to identify microbiota including anaerobes, a previously immeasurable area of the gut environment. Single sample collection, greater accuracy, and increased sensitivity make this profile the best value for stool analysis available.
Why use stool testing?
• Requires only one, single sample collection
• Greater accuracy due to advanced technology DNA analysis
• Evaluates balance of microbes shown to contribute to weight gain
• Identifies drug resistance genes
• To maintain good health

A True Picture Of The Gut Environment,
With An Easy-To-Use Single Specimen Collection…
Gastrointestinal (GI) function is important for general health. This
includes balancing beneficial microbial flora in the gut to enhance health
benefits. GI health is key in digestion, nutrient usage, and ridding the
body of waste and pathogens. Poor digestion and malabsorption can
lead to immune dysfunction, nutritional insufficiencies, and various
disease states. Poor GI function can also lead to food allergies and other
toxicities.
Your intestinal tract contains significant amounts of bacteria, some beneficial,
some neutral, and some that can be harmful. It is essential to know
the microbial balance of your GI tract, especially if you have chronic
health problems. Health enhancing intestinal bacteria serve to prevent the
overgrowth of potentially harmful bacteria in the gut.
