The gut microbiome is the combination of billions of microorganisms and bacteria in your lower intestine. The gut microbiota helps with your body’s digestive functions and metabolism and also plays a factor in your immune function. Located in the gastrointestinal tract, the gut microbiota may also affect your brain health.
Depending on the type of microbiome test you take, your results may vary. For example, some gut microbiome tests may report which strains of microbes are present in your body, as well as their function. Others may record active microbe genes. Despite the different types, you can expect all tests to produce accurate results.
