Flagship Tests and What They Measure
GI Effects® Comprehensive Stool Profile
A gut health test analyzing digestion, absorption, microbiota
balance, inflammation, and infection markers [2].
Why it matters: Detects hidden gut issues like dysbiosis,
malabsorption, and chronic GI infections early.
NutrEval® FMV (First Morning Void)
A comprehensive metabolic panel assessing nutrient status,
mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, detoxification, and
metabolic pathways [3].
Why it matters: Reveals underlying nutrient depletion and
mitochondrial dysfunction that contribute to fatigue, immune
issues, and chronic disease.
SIBO Breath Test
A breath test measuring hydrogen and methane gas
production to detect Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
(SIBO) [4].
Why it matters: Identifies hidden bacterial overgrowth driving
IBS symptoms, chronic bloating, fatigue, and brain fog.
Other Specialty Panels
Oxidative Stress 2.0
Assesses free radical damage and antioxidant defense [5].
Why it matters: Detects oxidative stress before it causes
long-term inflammation and aging.
