Microbiome Test Kit

Insights that promote a healthy lifestyle

The Standard Process Microbiome Test Kit, Powered by BIOHM®, is used to assess the gut microbiome’s diversity and provide suggestions towards a healthier lifestyle. The Standard Process Microbiome Test Kit is a two-part assessment which is derived from:

• Gut microbiome analysis using next generation genetic sequencing of a stool sample to discover the diversity of the bacteria and fungi that live in your patient’s gut

• A Lifestyle Questionnaire that is completed by the patient when the test is registered on the software portal

As part of the test, the patient will receive a comprehensive and personalized Gut Report outlining:

• Microbiome diversity

• Phyla balance

• Presence of beneficial species

• Presence of pathogenic species 

In addition to microbiome analysis, the Gut Report includes individualized recommendations and/or insights (that may include Standard Process and MediHerb® products) based on test results. It will provide additional information to assist patients and health care professionals to:

• Measure. Taking supplements and modifying diet and lifestyle does not guarantee a balanced microbiome – it must be measured.

• Modify. With results and insights from the Gut Report, you will have the tools to personalize supplement choices, as well as diet and lifestyle modifications.

• Monitor. Track how dietary, lifestyle, and supplement changes affect the Gut Score™.

What is microbiome testing? Microbiome testing is the use of next generation genetic sequencing and bioinformatic analysis to compare a patient’s microbiome with that of a normal/healthy individual. This will reveal the composition, balance and levels of bacteria and fungi inside of the gut from a stool sample. 

Why has Standard Process partnered with BIOHM® to create a gut microbiome test?

• BIOHM® has completed thousands of consumer gut microbiome tests

• Recognized expertise in bacterial and fungal interactions

• Uses the 16S and ITS rRNA sequencing for microbiome analysis — the gold standard for bacterial and fungal sequencing

• Validated and standardized testing methods used in 100+ research studies

• Easy-to-understand report based on well-established research

Test Kits are available at the clinic - it includes everything you need to collect a sample and ship. Results are available in weeks and include a consultation with your practitioner.
