Gut Health Test
A simple at-home test that helps you understand how your gut bacteria are functioning and how they may be influencing your overall wellbeing.
The Gut Health Test analyzes three important tryptophan-related markers from a dried blood spot sample:
- Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA)
- Tryptophan (TRP)
- Kynurenine (KYN)
It also calculates key ratios:
- IPA:TRP ratio
- KYN:TRP ratio
- IPA:KYN ratio
These markers provide insight into:
- Gut microbiome efficiency
- Immune stress
- Balance between protective and stress-related metabolic pathways
- Overall gut health index
Why it matters Tryptophan metabolism links gut health with immune function, metabolism, and even brain health. When the microbiome is working well, more triptophan may be converted into beneficial compounds like IPA. When the body is under stress, more may shift toward the kynurenine pathway.
Key benefits:
- Measures functional gut-related biomarkers
- Helps assess microbiome efficiency
- Gives a clear gut health index
- Includes tailored diet and lifestyle recommendations
- Simple home blood spot collection
- Anonymous and laboratory analyzed
