A new era for clinical gut testing is here

Introducing Microba GI Navigator

Today we're proud to launch Microba GI Navigator, the first test of its kind: a gut test built to resolve complex GI symptoms, with easy-to-use clinical guidance built on the latest science and full microbiome mapping.¹

It is designed for patients with complex or persistent GI symptoms, and it sits alongside Microbiome Explorer in the Microba range.

40% of people live with an ongoing functional gut disorder.² Outdated microbiome protocols and standard gut testing can leave practitioners and patients without answers. After more than three years of research and development, we built GI Navigator to change that.

Four things that make GI Navigator different

1. Superior coverage

Four data streams, one sample Full microbiome mapping³ with precise functional analysis, a patient presentation assessment that patients complete at home, gut physiology markers, and targeted pathogen screening. All in one test.

2. Clear, accessible interpretations

All the raw data is synthesised using the latest science to report on 22 critical areas of interpretation across seven health categories. Click any interpretation or marker to see the reasoning behind it.

3. Personalised, prioritised actions⁴

Each evident interpretation is mapped to suggested next steps across diet, supplements, exercise and more. They are derived from evidence-graded insights based on 2,500+ peer-reviewed studies, so you know what to do in minutes, not hours.

4. Practice support features

An easy-to-use web portal, in-clinic collaboration features, live interactive report sharing and flexible payment terms. Our Clinical Support team is available five days a week to help you with your first reports, with Customer Support online 24/7.

Which test should you start with?

GI symptoms are the primary concern? Start with GI Navigator. A broader systemic health question? Microbiome Explorer is still the right place to start. Both tests are built on the same platform, with full microbiome mapping, evidence-graded insights, accurate lab results you can trust and practice support features that make clinic workflows easier.
