Gut health has been shown to have a relationship to the immune system, mental health, autoimmune diseases, skin conditions, endocrine disorders, cancer, and weight management. The microbiome is also responsible for the synthesis of hormones, vitamins and neurotransmitters.
The GI-MAP test uses quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can disrupt the normal function of the microbiome. The GI-MAP also reports on immune and digestive markers that are good indicators of overall gut health.
