Intestinal microbiota: specific tests to monitor and optimise intestinal health

Intestinal microbiota: specific tests to monitor and optimise intestinal health

The gut microbiota, also known as bacterial flora, is made up of billions of microorganisms that live in our intestines and play a key role in our health. They aid in digestion, strengthen the immune system and protect against infections. When the balance of the microbiota is disturbed, however, disorders of various kinds can occur. This is where our proposal for specific tests to monitor and optimise your intestinal health comes in.

myBIOMEThe genetic test that analyses the 100% of the gut microbiota

Do you want to know the state of your gut in depth? The myBIOME test is the only genetic test that analyses the 100% of microorganisms in your gut. This test not only identifies the composition of your microbiota, but also provides you with detailed information on the functions performed by the microorganisms, indicating whether or not they are beneficial to your well-being.

With myBIOME you can:

Find out which bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms are present in your gut.

Check if your microbiota is in balance or if there are imbalances between different species.

Receive customised nutritional suggestions to support the balance of your microbiota.

How is it executed?

The test is carried out on a stool sample. Once collected, the results will be ready in about 30 days.

Cost: €391

Gastrointestinal Check-Up Package

Do you want a complete picture of the health of your gastrointestinal system? Our Gastrointestinal Check-Up Package includes a series of examinations aimed at detecting changes and preventing serious diseases.

The tests included in the package are:

1. Occult blood in faeces

An essential prevention test for the early detection of any bleeding of pre-oncogenic origin, particularly useful for preventing colorectal cancer.

2. Dysbiosis Test

This test measures the amount of scatol and indica in urine, two molecules indicative of the health of the intestinal flora. An increase in them can reveal an imbalance in the intestinal microbiota, signalling a problem in the small or large intestine.

3. Detection of Helicobacter Pylori in faeces

This test diagnoses the presence of Helicobacter Pylori, a bacterium responsible for gastritis and ulcers.

4. Faecal calprotectin

The measurement of calprotectin is an indicator of the inflammatory state of the intestine, which is useful for diagnosing chronic inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

How is it executed?

Tests are performed on stool and urine samples. Withdraw the tube from the laboratory for the Calprotectin test.

Cost: €129

Response time: 15 days

Immunotest: Assess your immune system

The immune system is the body's main defence mechanism against infection and disease. Our Immunotest is a complete package of tests to assess the status of your immune system and detect any imbalances.

The tests included in the Immunotest:

1. Haemochrome with leucocyte formula

It assesses the quantity and type of white blood cells, essential indicators of the health of the immune system.

2. C Reactive Protein (PCR)

An inflammatory marker that increases in the presence of acute infection or inflammation.

3. Total immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM)

They measure the main antibodies in the body, which are essential for detecting immune deficiencies.

4. Complement C3 and C4

They indicate the efficiency of the immune system in the inflammatory response.

5. Autoantibodies (ANA)

Useful for ruling out autoimmune diseases, when the immune system attacks its own tissues.

6. Total IgE

A test to detect a predisposition to allergies by measuring the amount of IgE antibodies.

How is it executed?

• Blood collection at our blood collection point.

Cost: €68

Response time: 4 days

Dysbiosis Test: Analysing the state of your bacterial flora

The Dysbiosis Test is a simple, non-invasive test that allows you to assess the balance of intestinal bacterial flora through the analysis of two molecules, scatol and indica, present in the urine. If the values of these substances are high, an imbalance between good and bad bacteria in the gut is revealed.

Why is it important to perform this test? A dysbiotic gut can cause a number of disorders, such as:

• Recurrent infections
• Allergies and intolerances
• Digestive problems (diarrhoea, constipation, bloating)
• Skin affections (acne, dermatitis)
• Mood disorders (anxiety, depression, fatigue)
• Insomnia and difficulty losing weight

How is it executed?

It is performed on a urine sample (the first one in the morning).

Cost: €48

Response time: 15 days
