Intestinal dysbiosis – MSA test
The intestinal microflora can be considered as a postnatally acquired organ. Composed of a large diversity of bacterial cells, it has different functions for the host.The microflora has a significant role in gut maturation, gut integrity, prevention of pathogenic and opportunistic bacterial colonization,… It modulates the immune system as well. The mocroflora is also involved in vitamin synthesis, production of short chain fatty acids, metabolism of carcinogenic substances.
Although the intestinal flora is quite stable over time, a number of factors can disturb the normal balance and thus lead to intestinal dysbiosis.
The microbiome contributes to the processing and metabolization of food:
- digestion and absorption of nutrients
- sugar metabolism
- synthesis of short chain fatty acids (eg, synth. of butyrate by Faecalibacterium, Roseburia… is important for colon health… but gives a lot of energy -> obesity)
- synthesis of amino acids and vitamins (vit B12, vit B9, vit K)
- detoxification of pollutants and toxic
Please kindly note that for all the tests that are done in our partner labs in the USA, a full prepayment must be received before your sample is sent for testing.
Partner labs demand a full prepayment before the sample can begin to travel. Thank you for your understanding and collaboration.
It will take approx. 4 weeks to get the results from all tests, except for MSA (6 weeks) and CD56 and CD57 (48 -72 hours).
