Clinical Support Beyond the Report
You’re never on your own.
1. Practitioner referral
Register with your clinical registration details so you can refer a test to your patient via our practitioner portal.
2. Patient Purchase & Collection
The patient purchases the test via the payment link and receives the test kit to their address. After collecting the sample, the patient ships it to our lab with a prepaid package.
3. Results & Report Delivery
Test results will be available as an interactive report in the practitioner portal within 14 days of sample receipt. You can share a patient-friendly version of the report via email.
4. Book Interpretation Support
Book a time with a Clinical Application Specialist for guidance if you require clinical support for a complex case, or you’re new to whole microbiome testing.
The microbial markers assess the number of microbial cells within the microbiome that have the functional potential to either produce microbial metabolites or consume compounds. In addition, microbial richness and diversity are considered microbial markers as well.
The health categories represent different aspects of gut function and health, as well as mechanisms by which the microbiome influences systemic health. These include intestinal motility, intestinal inflammation, intestinal barrier, systemic inflammation, digestive secretions and detox/retox.
Absolutely. You can view the sample report anytime. To begin using MetaXplore, simply register as a practitioner. There’s no upfront commitment—just access to better tools for better care.
Each report includes include diet and lifestyle interventions as well as probiotic, prebiotic, nutrient and polyphenol supplementation. Every recommendation—whether dietary, lifestyle or supplemental—is backed by published evidence. Over 1,200+ peer-reviewed studies were reviewed over 7,000+ hours by our in-house clinical science team. Each insight is graded by the strength of evidence and matched to the patient’s unique microbiome profile.
Metagenomics (also known as shotgun metagenomics) is the most comprehensive DNA sequencing method that:
