Microbiomix

Microbiomix® Gut Microbiome Test — a next-generation stool test using whole-genome (metagenomic) sequencing to reveal which microbes live in your gut and what they’re capable of, with plain-English guidance you can act on.

Watch: 90-second overview of Microbiomix and how results turn into action.

What is Microbiomix?

Microbiomix® is Genova Diagnostics’ advanced gut-microbiome stool analysis. It uses metagenomic (whole-genome) shotgun sequencing—considered a gold-standard method—to assess your complete gut microbiome and its potential functions (not just who’s there, but what they can do).

Why it matters

• Big picture of gut health: Bacteria, fungi/yeast, protists, and archaea are identified down to species level—covering a library of 28,000+ species.
• Function-focused: Insights into microbially driven activities (e.g., vitamin synthesis, gas/toxin production, metabolites linked with comfort, inflammation, and metabolism).
• Actionable guidance: A patient-friendly report with food and lifestyle suggestions tailored to your microbiome.

Who is this test for?

• Ongoing digestive symptoms (bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea, abdominal discomfort)
• Gut-related issues that may touch mood, immunity, metabolism, or food tolerance
• Anyone wanting a deeper, data-driven look at their microbiome to personalize diet and wellness

What you’ll receive

• Comprehensive species profile (bacteria, fungi/yeast, protists, archaea)
• Functional potential indicators (e.g., metabolite pathways that can support or challenge health)
• Plain-English recommendations for foods, fibers, and habits to help your gut thrive

Simple at-home collection
