GI Diagnostics

Research overwhelmingly indicates that gut health impacts overall health. The gut microbiome, in particular, plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on health, including digestive, immune, metabolic and neuroendocrine functions. Assessing GI health with the proper tools can help practitioners get to the root cause of chronic illness.

The GI-MAP (Microbial Assay Plus) is unique in the field of comprehensive stool testing. It relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more, by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.

Methodology

Provides you with true quantitative values. It helps differentiate trace levels of an organism from frank elevations indicative of active infection.

Passionate

Since the introduction of the GI-MAP, we have received hundreds of messages from practitioners and patients about how a simple stool test (that can be collected in one day), has changed their lives for the better. Ultimately, improved patient outcomes are our goal.

Opportunity

Every test that comes through our door is an opportunity for us to deliver life-changing results to practitioners that are working with patients that need answers. Sometimes those results show that a patient is suffering from multiple parasites. When a gut infection is found it presents an opportunity for the healing journey to begin and for patients to win. And, that's why we do what we do.
