While we provide you with the full taxonomy of what is detected in your sample, our interpretation currently focuses on a subset of key bacteria across 3 categories.
We are able to show you how your relative abundance compares to what is considered an ideal range based on the recommendations of Dr Jason Hawrelak of the Probiotic Advisor.

We also include a diversity calculation.
We have a number of sections focused on some of the metabolites and other intermediate substrates produced by bacteria, such as enzymes.
- Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) production
- Toxin production
- Vitamin and Enzyme Synthesis, including understanding how these impact digestion and intolerances and detoxification
- Longevity promotion
- Gram Negative/Positive classification
We allow users to compare their bacterial relative abundance to users based on wellness criteria, symptoms and diseases disclosed as per our health questionnaire, using our cohort selector.
Note that we are in the process of adding the following sections in the coming months and everyone will get access to these additional sections (including FASTQ files from other labs):
- Disease and symptom correlations
Of interest to those that are more technical or research oriented, we also have a cohort analyzer, that makes it easy to understand what the key differences are between a cohort of interest and controls.
