Gut Microbiome
Profile the trillions of bacteria in your gut from a simple at-home sample, explained in plain language.
Gut & Digestive Health
Metabolic Health
Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria that influence digestion, inflammation and metabolism, and no two people's are quite alike. A Gut Microbiome test profiles that microbial community from a simple at-home sample, giving you insight into its diversity and composition, read back to you with guidance rather than left as raw data.
What It Is
The gut microbiome is an active area of research, and its composition varies widely from person to person. This test profiles the bacteria present, looking at overall diversity and which species are represented. The science is still developing, so Precursor treats your result as useful insight to discuss rather than a fixed set of instructions, which is the honest way to handle an evolving field.
What It Measures
The test assesses microbiome diversity and species composition, profiling the bacterial community in your gut. It adds a distinct, gut-focused perspective to your wider Precursor picture.
What To Expect
You collect the sample at home using a kit we send you, following simple instructions, then return it for analysis. There is no clinic visit needed for collection, which many people find easier for this kind of test. Your sample is processed by a specialised lab.
Your Results
Your results appear in the Precursor app as a readable profile rather than a raw data dump. A clinician or dietitian helps you understand what your profile suggests and how it connects to your diet and habits. Because the field is evolving, the guidance focuses on sensible, evidence-aware steps rather than overreaching claims, so you come away with something useful you can actually act on.
