DarmBalans Complete

The gut microbiome is highly complex and consists of a vast number of microorganisms, primarily bacteria. It's a networked organ connected to various parts of the body and can thus have a significant impact on health and well-being.

Why this research?

This package provides insight into the entire gut microbiome, helps understand the most common abdominal complaints, and offers advice on restoring balance. It also reports on the degree and type of dysbiosis, the activity and diversity of the microbiome, colonization resistance, and appropriate treatment recommendations for any abnormalities found.

How does it work?

The test only requires a small stool sample. Results are available within 5 to 10 business days. Our team of experts bases all recommendations on accepted, scientifically sound knowledge. We also offer telephone support for applicants with any questions.

We measure activity

Besides diversity, we're the only lab in Europe to also measure bacterial activity. This allows us to provide more accurate advice and predict how the gut microbiome can contribute both positively and negatively to health. We measure the following functional bacterial groups for this purpose:

• Bacteroides
• Clostridia
• Ruminococcus
• Prevotella
• Bifidobacteria
• Lactobacilli
• Proteobacteria
• Fusobacteria
• Yeasts & molds
• Akkermansia
• Faecalibacterium
• Other bacteria
