Test za zdravlje crijeva

• Functional output – provides information on selected metabolites related to how your gut bacteria and body work together
• Science-backed markers – analyzes three key tryptophan-related metabolites associated with gut, immune, and metabolic processes
• Advanced analysis – uses advanced technology for precise results
• Balance insights – shows how a gut bacteria-derived metabolite relates to other reported markers
• Jasno bodovanje – vaši rezultati prikazani u lako čitljivom Gut Health Index-u
• Personalized guidance – result-based diet and lifestyle guidance, with a focus on fiber and polifenoli, based on your unique results
• Simple test – dried blood spot (DBS) collection, no stool sample required

• Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA) – IPA level – a gut bacteria-derived metabolite produced from dietary tryptophan. Higher levels have been associated in research with markers related to gut barrier integrity and oxidative stress processes. IPA is increasingly recognized as a key marker related to gut microbiota function.

• Tryptophan (TRP) – an essential amino acid obtained from the diet that serves as the precursor (starting material) for both IPA and kynurenine. Tryptophan availability and how it is metabolized can be related to gut function, immune response activity and metabolic balance.

• Kynurenine (KYN) – a metabolite produced from tryptophan through the kynurenine pathway, often associated with increased immune response activity. Higher kynurenine levels and an elevated KYN ratio are associated with immune activation and a shift away from IPA-related microbial metabolite production.

Također izračunavamo ove ključne omjere:

• IPA:TRP ratio – Gut microbiome efficiency –reflects the proportion of dietary tryptophan converted by gut bacteria into IPA, influenced by gut microbiota composition and diet.

• KYN:TRP ratio – Immune stress indicator – a marker related to immune activation and load. 

• IPA:KYN ratio – Microbiome immune support – a relative balance score showing the relationship between IPA-related and kynurenine-related pathways in tryptophan metabolism. 

Your report also includes a Gut Health Index, integrating all measured markers and ratios into a clear, easy-to-understand overview of your gut-immune-metabolic marker profile. 

Why tryptophan metabolism matters

Tryptophan metabolism is increasingly recognized as an important area of research connecting gut, immune, brain, and metabolic processes. Gut bacteria transform tryptophan into a range of indole metabolites, including IPA – a microbial metabolite studied in relation to gut barrier integrity, immune responses, and oxidative stress processes.

Emerging research shows that higher IPA levels are associated with metabolic flexibility, glucose regulation, and immune function. Conversely, when tryptophan metabolism is shifted, more of it may be diverted into the kynurenine pathway – a route often associated with the body’s stress and immune response activity.

This metabolic crossroad between the body and gut bacteria is no longer a scientific curiosity – it is now seen as an important area of research in intestinal and systemic balance. By analyzing your tryptophan metabolism profile, this test provides information about the functional output of your gut bacteria and how it relates to immune and metabolic pathways – helping you make informed diet and lifestyle choices based on your results.

Certificirano i sigurno ispitivanje

• Neovisni laboratorij – analizira ga Vitas, laboratorij s certifikatom GMP 25s višegodišnjim iskustvom u visokokvalitetnoj kromatografskoj analizi.

• Anonimni rezultati – vaš uzorak povezan je samo s vašim jedinstvenim ID-om testa; ni Zinzinoni laboratorij ne mogu vas identificirati.

1. Za optimalnu točnost, obavite ovaj test na prazan želudac. Obavite test ujutro nakon noćnog posta od najmanje 10 sati i dovršite ga prije konzumiranja bilo kakve hrane.

Tijekom razdoblja posta dopuštena je samo voda. ZinzinoTest je odobreni proizvod za in vitro dijagnostiku za prikupljanje osobnih uzoraka krvi kod kuće.

– Prvo operite ruke sapunom te ih dobro isperite toplom vodom i osušite.

2. Izvadite karticu uzorka iz papirnate omotnice.

Spremite omotnicu za kasniju upotrebu.

Odstranite dio SAVE na kartici uzorka i snimite sliku ID-a testa. Rezultat testa možete vidjeti samo s anonimnim ID-om testa. Postavite karticu tako da su dva kruga okrenuta prema gore na stolu.

3. Stimulirajte protok krvi tako da napravite velike krugove rukom ili tresete ruku prema dolje 20 sekunde.

4. Izvadite lancetu za jednokratnu uporabu. Skinite prozirni sigurnosni čep i lanceta je spremna za uporabu.

Upotrijebite alkoholnu vlažnu maramicu za čišćenje vrha prsta (preporučuje se srednji prst).

Postavite lancetu na donji dio vrha prsta okrenut prema papiru za prikupljanje na stolu. Gurnite vrh lancete prema prstu dok ne čujete klik. Lanceta će automatski napraviti mali ubod u prstu

5. Ne dodirujte filtarski papir prstima.

6.  Ispunite jedan po jedan krug kapima krvi. Lagano stisnite prst i pričekajte da kap krvi sama kapne unutar kruga. Ako jedna kap krvi ne prekrije krug, pričekajte da s prsta kapne još jedna.

Ostavite karticu s uzorkom u vodoravnom položaju na sobnoj temperaturi najmanje 10 minuta kako bi se uzorci dobro osušili.

7. Umetnite karticu uzorka natrag u papirnatu omotnicu. Zatim stavite papirnatu omotnicu u metalnu vrećicu i zatvorite je.

VAŽNO:
Ne uklanjajte vrećicu sa sredstvom za sušenje unutar metalne vrećice.

8. Stavite zatvorenu metalnu vrećicu u veliku omotnicu s laboratorijskom adresom na njoj.
