The GI360™, GI360™ Essentials, and the GI360™ Microbiome Profile are gut microbiota DNA analysis tools that identify and characterize the abundance and diversity of more than 45 targeted analytes(bacteria) that peer-reviewed research has shown to contribute to dysbiosis and other chronic disease states.
In addition the GI360™ profiles produce a Dysbiosis Index (DI), with scores from 1 to 5 based on the overall bacterial abundance and profile within the patient’s sample as compared to a reference population. Values above 2 indicate a microbiota profile that differs from the defined normobiotic reference population (i.e., dysbiosis). The higher the DI above 2, the more the sample is considered to deviate from normobiosis. Symptoms that may present with an elevated Dysbiosis Index include the following:
- Gastrointestinal Symptoms
- Inflammation
- Joint Pain
- Mucosal Barrier Dysfunction
- Autoimmune Disease
- Food Sensitivities
- Chronic or Acute Diarrhea
- Abdominal Pain
- IBD/IBS
- Nutritional Deficiencies
- Bloody Stool
- Fever and Vomiting
GI360™ Microbiome Profile $200
The GI360™ Microbiome Profile is the most basic panel to analyze the gut microbiota and identify and characterize the abundance and diversity of more than 45 targeted bacteria. This test also provides a Dysbiosis Index. View a sample report here: GI360 Microbiome Profile
GI360™ Essentials Profile $325
The GI360™ Essentials Profile also provides an analysis of the gut microbiota, identifying and characterizing the abundance and diversity of more than 45 targeted bacteria and includes the calculated Dysbiosis Index. In addition the GI360™ Essentials Profile can identify the presence of pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and parasites using multiplexed, real-time PCR. Viruses are the primary cause of acute diarrhea, and the least commonly tested. The identification of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites improves treatment strategies and patient outcomes.

GI360™ Profile $425
The GI360™ Profile provides an analysis of the gut microbiota, Dysbiosis Index, identification of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites just as the Essentials Panel. In addition, markers to evaluate digestion and pancreatic function, inflammation, immune function, short cahin fatty acid metabolism, and other intestinal health markers are also included.
