Bione’s Gut Microbiome test offers personalised insights into your gut health, helping you understand the balance of bacteria in your digestive system. It benefits you by providing gut health scores to monitor improvements, personalised nutrition recommendations, identifying imbalances linked to health conditions, and monitoring changes over time.
The gut microbiome test requires a stool sample, preferably from the first bowel movement of the day.
Collecting a sample for the stool test for gut health is simple and can be done at home. The test kit includes instructions for collecting a small stool sample, which is then sent to Bione laboratory (located in Bengaluru) for analysis. Detailed instructions are provided to ensure accurate sample collection.
A gut microbiome test differs from a normal stool test in its focus and scope. While a normal stool test typically looks for pathogens or abnormalities in the stool, gut microbiota testing provides a comprehensive analysis of the microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract. This includes bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes, offering insights into the composition, diversity, and balance of the gut microbiome. Overall, a gut health test provides a more comprehensive understanding of gut health beyond what a traditional stool test can offer.
Your Bione report will include a comprehensive Gut Health Score, a detailed breakdown of the bacteria found in your gut, potential dysbiosis, and how this may affect your health. Bione also offers an extensive diet plan along with a microbiome test report.
Your microbiome test results and recommendations are delivered to you within 4-5 business weeks after your sample reaches our lab.
Absolutely! When you start following the food and supplement recommendations from Bione, you may notice changes in your gut microbiome. Your gut microbiome is dynamic and can be influenced by various factors, including diet and environmental conditions like stress. Since everyone’s gut microbiome is unique, the pace at which these changes occur can vary depending on your individual journey and how closely you adhere to the recommendations.
The frequency of gut microbiome tests depends on your health goals. Typically, getting tested every 1-2 years or as recommended by a healthcare professional can help monitor changes and assess the effectiveness of interventions.
