At-home DNA stool test. Only requires 1 day and 1 sample which will be sent to your door.

The Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP®) was designed to assess a patient’s microbiome from a single stool sample, with particular attention to microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance and may contribute to perturbations in the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota or illness.

The panel is a comprehensive collection of microbial targets as well as immune and
digestive markers. It screens for pathogenic bacteria, commensal bacteria, opportunistic pathogens, fungi, viruses, and parasites. It primarily uses automated DNA analysis to give integrative and functional medicine practitioners a better view into the gastrointestinal microbiome.

Unlike other comprehensive stool tests on the market, the GI-MAP can provide truly quantitative results. qPCR offers a much more accurate way to detect and quantify clinically-relevant organisms than standard PCR, culture, microscopy, or DNA sequencing-based methods.
