About the Cobiome Metaexplore GI test

Cobiome uses Metagenomics (also known as shotgun metagenomics). It is the most reproducible and comprehensive DNA sequencing method, where all the genes from the microorganisms in your sample are sequenced. This method allows you to see not just bacteria, but also fungi, protists, and archaea, as well as identify microorganisms at the species level and reveal what your microbes are capable of.

The Cobiome Metaexplore GI test measures the following markers:

  • Measures microbial diversity and richness

  • Secretory IgA - A marker that tells us about the immune system, our first line of defense in the gastrointestinal tract, and how it’s responding.

  • Fecal pH

  • Pancreatic elastase - A measure of our digestive enzymes and an indication of pancreatic function

  • Lactoferrin - A marker to detect inflammation in the intestines.

  • Faecal occult blood – A marker for detection of inflammatory bowel disease, polyps and/or bowel cancer

  • Zonulin – A marker for intestinal permeability

  • Calprotectin – To measure inflammation in the bowel

  • Production of microbial metabolites - Butyrate, acetate, propionate, 3-indolepropionic acid (IPA), hexa-acylated lipopolysaccharide (hexa-LPS), trimethylamine (TMA), hydrogen sulphide, branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), B.fragilis toxin, methane, beta-glucuronidase2

  • Microbiome community insights - Metagenomic identification of 28,000+ microbial species* including bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes (yeasts and protists).

The cobiome Metaexplore GI test provides us with so much valuable information which can be used to identify the driving factors of your symptoms. This helps to create a targeted treatment approach to treat the root cause of your symptoms & for effective results.
