Gut Bacteria Tests
Gut Bacteria
Gut bacteria tests offer a deep dive into the complex world of your microbiota, revealing crucial insights about your gut's health and overall well-being. These tests can uncover imbalances in beneficial and harmful bacteria, providing information that can help optimize digestion, immune function, and even cognitive function. By analyzing your gut microbiome, you can learn if your microbial diversity is within healthy ranges and make necessary dietary or lifestyle changes to restore balance.
The test results can also indicate potential issues with metabolism, inflammation, or nutrient absorption that a professional can interpret and use to make further recommendations. Through such tailored interventions, athletes and health-conscious individuals can enhance their performance and well-being.

Where to order: GutGuide offers several microbiota tests:
- GutIndex® TOTAL: A comprehensive analysis that covers key bacterial groups and the presence of yeast. This is the most recommended gut bacteria test for athletes, as it shows the status of large bacterial populations in the gut and any imbalances between them.
- GutIndex® VISKE: Targets bacteria associated with energy metabolism and visceral fat accumulation. This is an alternative to the previous test.
- GutIndex® BENE: Focuses on beneficial bacteria groups, providing insights
on how your gut responds to dietary changes and probiotics.This test should be used as a follow-up test after 1-2 months of a more comprehensive test. Then you can see how the dietary changes are affecting the good bacterial populations, i.e. whether they have increased in the desired way or whether, for example, you still need to continue eating lactic acid bacteria products.
