MetaXplore™ GI Plus can help you explore the impact your patients’ gut microbiome may be having on their health. MetaXplore™ GI Plus translates diagnostic gastrointestinal markers and targeted pathogen, protist and parasite panels1 alongside metagenomic-driven gut microbiome insights2 for over 28,000* microbial species and their function.
The MetaXplore™ range is intended for adults 18 years or older only.
The MetaXplore™ range is only available for purchase through a Healthcare Professional.
*Can report on over 28,000 species although a typical healthy sample will contain between 110 – 244 species.
Scientifically graded diet statements on the evidence for diet and lifestyle interventions as well as probiotic, prebiotic, nutrient and polyphenol supplementation
Calprotectin, faecal occult blood, lactoferrin, pancreatic elastase, secretory IgA, zonulin1
