MicrobioTx unveils a fingerprick-based test to profile gut microbiome

MicrobioTx announced the commercial availability of Gut Function Test (GFT) that profiles the gut microbiome with a few blood drops. With this test, gut microbiome profiling, which was earlier only possible by stool sample, will now be possible with a finger-prick without the need to collect stool sample. MicrobioTx’s GFT is clinically validated in trials at leading Indian research institutes and has been recently approved by the Indian regulator. The commercial launch of MicrobioTx’s GFT is supported by a grant from DPIIT through the Institute of Life Science, Bhubaneshwar.

Scientific evidence has established that a good gut microbiome could set the foundation for good health, such as better weight management, stronger immunity, and other physiological functions. This breakthrough test solution, developed after three years of intense research, allows users to gain valuable insights into their gut health at a fraction of the cost, making it a smart and affordable choice for everyone.

MicrobioTx’s GFT test is also complemented by consultation, food recommendations, and Personal ProbioTx, a probiotic that is completely customised based on a user’s gut profile. This allows users not just to know their gut profile but also to take personalised actions to address their gut health. 

MicrobioTx has plans to extend its offerings for multiple disease conditions and different microbiome sites.
