GI MAP TEST
The GI Map Test is an advanced stool analysis designed to provide an in-depth evaluation of your gut health. By identifying harmful microbes such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses, this test helps uncover imbalances in the gut microbiome that may contribute to chronic illness. It also evaluates digestion, nutrient absorption, inflammation, and immune function—key components of overall health and wellness.
Why GI Map Testing?
IDENTIFIES HARMFUL MICROBES
The GI Map Test detects bacteria, parasites, and viruses that may disrupt gut balance and negatively impact health.
EVALUATES DIGESTION + NUTRIENT ABSORPTION
Understanding how well your body digests and absorbs nutrients helps address deficiencies and optimize wellness.
ASSESSES INFLAMMATION + IMMUNE FUNCTION
With approximately 70–80% of the immune system located in the gut, this test provides critical insight into immune health and chronic inflammation.
SUPPORTS GUT–BRAIN HEALTH
The gut produces most of the body’s serotonin, influencing mood, sleep, appetite, and cognitive health. A balanced microbiome supports both physical and mental well-being.
DATA-DRIVEN, COMPREHENSIVE INSIGHT
This test goes beyond basic stool testing to deliver detailed, clinically actionable results.
