GutID CGI - Core Gut Insights At-Home Gut Microbiome Test
The GutID Core Gut Insights (CGI) test is an at-home gut microbiome test that analyzes a single stool sample to map the bacteria in your gut down to the strain level — delivering high-resolution, accurate insight into your digestive and overall health that standard tests can't reach.
Strain-level resolution — and why it matters
Most at-home gut health tests identify bacteria only to the genus or species level. GutID resolves your microbiome to the individual strain, because strains of the same species can have opposite effects — one beneficial, another harmful. That precision is what turns a microbiome test into an actionable one. See the science behind GutID.
What the Core Gut Insights test measures
- Microbiome diversity, richness, evenness, and resilience
- Beneficial bacteria and pathogens associated with inflammation risk
- Antibiotic resistome profile
- Indicators associated with gut conditions including IBS, SIBO, and IBD
- Gut mucosa and barrier-function markers
- Signals related to how your microbiome may influence nutrient and dietary metabolism
Personalized food and supplement recommendations
Your report translates your unique bacterial profile into tailored food recommendations, plus customized supplement, prebiotic, and probiotic suggestions based on your individual results — so you know what to actually do next.

Our Technology vs. Others
Our Titan-1 technology generates a unique “fingerprint” for each strain- even for unknown strains providing accurate and complete data for actionability and broad clinical application. For example, Without knowing the strain, there is no way to know a given strain of E.coli is toxic or harmless.
FAQs about our GutID Tests
Why should I test my gut microbiome?
GutID microbiome test helps you understand the unique balance of bacteria in your gut and how it affects your digestion, metabolism, and overall health. GutID’s test provides science-backed recommendations tailored to your gut health, empowering you to make informed choices about your nutrition and overall wellness.
How do the kits work?
Each kit will contain a barcoded collection tube. Follow the instructions to collect your fecal sample from the comfort of your own home and ship it back to us in the pre-paid envelope. The sample is shipped to our a CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory in the US and will be processed using the patented Intus Bio technology. Your results will be emailed to you within four to six weeks.
What information will GutID provide me?
The gut report will discover the bacteria that live in your gut. As part of the test you will receive a comprehensive report outlining:
- An overall gut microbiome health score on a scale of 0 to 100
- Executive summary including key microbiome health metrics.
- Gut health flagged areas and pathogen profiles Personalized recommendations for foods and supplements that are helpful for your specific microbiome.
How long will it take to process my GutID Test sample?
Once our lab receives a sample and it passes QC (quality control), processing typically takes 3-4 weeks to yield results. Your results will be then uploaded into your gut test portal account, in addition to an email notification letting you know they are available for you to view.
How can I view my results?
Your results will be emailed to the email address provided when the test is registered.
What’s the difference between a culture-based test, a qPCR test and a complete microbiome test?
If your doctor suspects you have some nasty intestinal infections, they might suggest you have a stool test that cultures specific bacteria or looks for parasites. However, several long-term intestinal symptoms are caused by more bacteria than can usually grow (culture) in the lab. Other tests use a molecular technique called qPCR to identify just a few key bacteria in the gut. The GutID test is the only one that can detect any bacteria in your stool, even if they've never been cultured or recognized before!
How Does It Work?
Taking control of your gut health has never been easier. With GutID's advanced testing, you'll get accurate and comprehensive insights and personalized recommendations—all from the comfort of your home. In just three simple steps, you'll unlock the key to feeling your best.
