ZOE’s Gut Microbiome Tests: Why We’re Different
ZOE has built one of the largest microbiome databases globally and has developed cutting-edge analytical tools to help scientists understand this data. Our gut microbiome test, analysis, and score are leading the way in the industry. We have learned a great deal about the links between the gut microbiome and health, but there is still much more to discover.
Thanks to ZOE's PREDICT studies and our dedicated members, we have analyzed tens of thousands of stool samples, allowing us to identify connections between dietary patterns, specific bacteria species, and markers of disease risk. This groundbreaking knowledge is being applied through our involvement in the PROSPECT project.
Our advanced gut microbiome test utilizes shotgun metagenomic sequencing, which provides a much more detailed view of the microbiome compared to traditional methods like 16s technology. Our tool, MetaPhlAn4, can identify a vast number of species and has helped us uncover new bacteria previously unknown to science.
Our results are reliable and reproducible, as demonstrated by our PREDICT1 study where we conducted gut microbiome tests on individuals and found consistent results over time. We are combining multiple strands of evidence to understand the relationships between gut bacteria and health, with the ultimate goal of proving causality.
While we continue to unravel the complexities of the gut microbiome, our work extends to various health topics such as early-onset colon cancer, menopause, and the impact of diet on the microbiome. We are dedicated to advancing microbiome science and providing individuals with personalized insights into their gut health.
