MicrobioTx, a new-age gut microbiome company, has launched the Gut Function Test (GFT), a revolutionary way to profile the gut microbiome using only a few drops of blood, eliminating the need for traditional stool samples. Validated through clinical trials at prominent Indian institutes and recently approved by Indian regulators, this test enables easier access to essential gut health insights. Supported by a DPIIT grant, the GFT aims to make gut health monitoring accessible and affordable.
The test provides insights into the gut microbiome, which has been linked to better immunity, weight management, and overall health. MicrobioTx complements the GFT with consultation, food recommendations, and Personal ProbioTx, a personalized probiotic designed to address specific gut profiles.
According to Dr. Palok Aich, a microbiome expert, this innovative approach holds promise for transforming preventive health in India. Akanksha Gupta, co-founder of MicrobioTx, emphasized the convenience of the GFT, which addresses the challenges of stool-based tests such as cost, inconvenience, and long processing times. With a focus on translating microbiome research into practical healthcare solutions, MicrobioTx aims to expand its offerings for various health conditions and microbiome sites.
