What is the GI-MAP Test?
The GI-MAP Test UK with Zonulin (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that uses advanced qPCR technology (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) to detect a wide range of gut pathogens, including parasites, yeast, bacteria, Helicobacter, inflammation and viruses. It also analyzes the DNA of your gut microbiome to assess the balance of beneficial and harmful microorganisms.
Our GI-MAP test comes standard with Zonulin, a key marker for leaky gut syndrome. Zonulin levels help evaluate intestinal permeability, offering insights into gut barrier dysfunction that could be contributing to your symptoms. Zonulin increases intestinal permeability in the jejunum and ileum and is considered a biomarker for barrier permeability.
