Tiny Health Adult Gut Health Test

The Adult Gut Health Test gives you insights into the commensal and pathogenic species in the microbiome with accurate relative abundances. Shotgun metagenomics testing will give you strain-level resolution and data on the functional capacity of the microbiome from digestion to gut inflammation. This test is designed for adults.

Sample Collection: The test requires a stool sample, which you will collect at home using the provided kit. The collection process is designed to be mess-free and simple, taking about five minutes.

‍

Avoid Certain Substances Before Testing:

Antibiotics: Wait at least 4-6 weeks after taking antibiotics before testing. Antibiotics can disrupt your gut microbiome, and testing too soon may lead to inaccurate results.

Probiotics (Optional): If you want to see your gut microbiome without the influence of probiotics, stop taking them 3-5 days before testing.

‍DO NOT discontinue prescription medications without consulting your child's healthcare provide
