Precision at the Species Level: The BioArte Gut test kit is intended to give you comprehensive information at the species level, in contrast to other gut microbiota examinations. To guarantee unmatched precision and specificity in identifying the microorganisms present in your gut, we sequence all nine variable regions (V1-V9), in contrast to others in the market who only sequence a limited percentage (mostly V3-V4).
Taxonomic Depth: We can explore the taxonomy of your gut microbiota in great detail thanks to our cutting-edge sequencing technology. You’ll be equipped with exact knowledge when you get a complete analysis of all the species that live in your digestive tract.
Thorough Analysis: The BioArte’s Gut test kit covers a lot of ground. Our comprehensive analysis of your gut microbiota delivers a holistic understanding of the microbial ecosystem within you.
Scientific Precision: We maintain the highest levels of scientific rigour at The BioArte. Our unique 16s method is supported by thorough research, guaranteeing the accuracy and dependability of our findings. To minimise variability, our gut kit asks for the collection of two samples as opposed to one.
Personalised Insights: Your general health and wellbeing are greatly influenced by the composition of your gut bacteria. You will obtain insights into your body’s immunity, digestion and other aspects of your health.
Simple to use Kit: Gathering a sample for examination is the easiest part of the process. Our easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions make the process quick and easy. Two samples must be collected in order to allow for a comparison of the outcomes. We may perform insightful comparisons between these two samples by examining them to find trends and variances in the data. This comparison is essential for identifying any differences or patterns that could offer insightful information about the person’s gut health or other variables under evaluation, facilitating a thorough examination of the person’s health or condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a gut microbiome test and a faecal test?
The gut microbiome test analysis the state of the gut microbial community by looking at what families are present and to what percentage within the given population. A faecal test, of which there are two; the faecal immunochemical test (FIT) and the immunochemical faecal occult blood test (iFOBT), both aim to test blood in stool in order to detect signs of precancerous polyps or colorectal cancer.
I feel healthy, should I try the gut microbiome test?
Unlike conventional medicine where you go to see a doctor when something is already wrong, tests like the microbiome test can provide you with inner knowledge of the state of your gut. This in return will help you understand your body better and give you tools in advance to help you continue maintaining your balanced state or even highlight certain elements that may become of concern if not taken care of. It is recommended to have the first test once you feel to be in your best condition in order to have a reference point in case you may develop some alteration of this status in the future so we can immediately check what has changed with respect to your healthy reference point.
Do I need to stop my daily medication and fast prior to taking my sample and sending it?
No. You will be given a form to fill out where you can include the exact medication you are currently taking. This will help our Microbiota Expert to evaluate your results whilst taking into consideration the information you have given us.
How long will it take to process my sample and get the results?
3-5 Weeks once the samples have been delivered to our diagnostic lab.
Once I receive my results, how will I understand the analysis?
Once The BioArte diagnostic microbial lab has processed your sample, the analysis will be sent to a medical doctor / microbial expert who will be able to evaluate the results together with your answers in the questionnaire. If you have been referred to us by your medical doctor or a licenced practitioner, we can ensure to send the results to the referral person who will discuss the findings with you.
Do you ship the Gut Microbiota test worldwide?
The BioArte Gut Microbiota test is currently only available for those living in the EU.
