Nick Bare’s GI-MAP + Zonulin

$579.00

This panel offers a detailed look at your gut health, helping identify imbalances that can affect digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. Results are available 14 business days after your sample kit is received by the lab.

What markers are included?

GI-MAP + Zonulin: This comprehensive stool test uses advanced DNA analysis to assess gut microbiota, pathogens, parasites, yeast, and markers of inflammation and digestion. It provides insights into factors that can influence digestion, immune function, and gastrointestinal symptoms.

The addition of Zonulin provides an indicator of intestinal permeability, offering insight into the integrity of the gut barrier and potential factors contributing to systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation.

What do these tests mean?

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.

Who should take these tests?

This test is ideal for the same individuals the GI map is for, plus if there is concern about “leaky gut” or increased intestinal permeability. Zonulin tells you how well your gut lining is sealing things off.
