Description
GI-MAP:
-
Bacterial Imbalances: Identifies overgrowths or deficiencies of key gut bacteria that affect digestion and immunity.
-
Pathogens & Parasites: Screens for harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, and yeast that can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.
-
Digestive Markers: Evaluates enzymes, fat absorption, and immune markers that reflect how well digestion and nutrient absorption are functioning.
-
Inflammation Markers: Assesses intestinal inflammation that may indicate irritation or immune system activation.
Zonulin: A marker of intestinal permeability; elevated levels may suggest that the tight junctions of the gut lining are compromised, potentially allowing larger molecules and toxins into the bloodstream and contributing to systemic inflammation.
