Gut Zoomer

The Gut Zoomer is a stool test that analyzes over 170 species of bacteria and gut pathogens, along with markers of inflammation, digestion, and gut metabolites.

This test offers a comprehensive overview of the gut, shedding light on common imbalances such as the depletion of beneficial organisms, the overgrowth of potentially harmful organisms, and the reduction of overall microbial diversity.

Understanding the abundance of bacteria in your patient's gastrointestinal tract is crucial, as gut microbiota significantly influence several vital aspects of health, including:

• Immune system health
• Strengthening the intestinal mucosal barrier
• Nutrient absorption and metabolism
• Neurological (brain) health
• Detoxification
• Hormonal regulation

Vibrant's Gut Zoomer helps identify the root causes of acute or chronic illnesses originating from the gastrointestinal tract. This includes gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn's disease, autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's thyroiditis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as extra-intestinal conditions such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, eczema, and psoriasis.
