{"product_id":"gut-microbiome-test-1","title":"Gut Microbiome Test","description":"\u003cp\u003eYour gut is home to trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that collectively form your gut microbiome. These microorganisms play a far bigger role in your health than most people realise. They influence digestion, metabolism, immunity, mood, skin, hormones, and even brain function. When the balance shifts and the wrong organisms start to dominate, it can quietly drive a whole range of symptoms that seem completely unrelated to the gut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NutraNourish Gut Microbiome Test uses advanced DNA sequencing to map exactly what is living inside your digestive system in far greater detail than a standard doctor's stool test. Rather than just looking for a specific infection or parasite, it analyses thousands of microbial species, measures bacterial diversity, identifies overgrowths, assesses gut barrier function, and evaluates how well you are actually digesting your food. Dr Menka Gupta then personally reviews your results and turns them into a focused gut healing plan built specifically around your findings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable Test Options\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many clinics that run the same test for every patient, NutraNourish works with several clinically validated gut microbiome tests and selects the most appropriate one based on your symptoms, medical history, and health goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGI-MAP with OMX:\u003c\/strong\u003e uses quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology to detect even low-abundance pathogens and parasites that conventional testing can miss.

The kit arrives in a discreet package with a collection container, a small vial containing preservative liquid, and clear step-by-step instructions. You collect a small stool sample using the provided scoop, place it into the vial, shake it to mix with the preservative, and seal it. The liquid stabilises the DNA so it remains intact during transit. You then pack it into the prepaid shipping envelope and schedule a courier pickup. Results are typically returned within one month of the lab receiving your sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo fasting is required. Eat your normal diet before testing so the results reflect your typical gut environment. Avoid taking probiotics or antibiotics for a few weeks prior to collection if possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDisclaimer: These services do not fall under the Singapore Health Services Act.
