Your gut microbiome is unique, varying depending on geography, gender, culture and demographics, genetics (of your own and that of the race), diet, age and many environmental factors. But, it also follows certain larger patterns and understanding these patterns provide you with an opportunity to maintain and/or modulate your microbiome towards better health benefits. Given this background, our efforts, through ‘microbiome sequencing analysis’, are directed towards identifying “the diverse species of micro-organisms within your gut, followed by characterization, analysis and interpretation of larger patterns within them. We achieve this through evidence based analysis and interpretation, to assist you in understanding your health and provide you with actionable dietary recommendations to improve your wellbeing.
It is South Asia’s first microbiome based test which predicts susceptibility to over 15 diseases analysing the microbiome composition of the gut and provides actionable dietary and probiotic recommendations based on your gut microbiome.
