Understand your gut, follow your wellbeing
Track your gut and metabolic markers and get result-based insights into how your diet and lifestyle may be reflected in gut function and whole-body balance from five science-based markers. The test provides information about whether your food is fueling your body and keeping your immune system balanced or if it’s associated with immune stress responses. Your overall gut health score can help you create a personalized wellness routine supported with less stress, fiber-rich foods, and prebiotic supplements.

更多信息
This test focuses on three scientifically studied compounds:
• 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.
我们还会计算以下关键比值：
• 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.
实验室
经认证的安全检测
• 独立实验室——检测由 Vitas 实验室完成，该实验室拥有 GMP 认证，且在高质量色谱分析领域具备 25 年以上经验。
• 匿名检测结果——您的样本仅与专属检测 ID 关联；无论是 {{Zinzino}} 还是实验室，均无法识别您的个人身份。
如何使用
1. 为确保最佳准确性，请在空腹情况下进行此检测。请在早晨进行检测，确保前一晚至少空腹 10 小时，并在进食前完成检测。
在禁食期间仅允许饮用水。{{Zinzino}} 检测是经过批准、用于在家中进行个人血样采集的体外诊断产品。
首先用肥皂洗手，然后用温水冲洗干净并擦干。
2. 从纸卡套中取出样本卡片。
保存纸封以供后续使用。
撕下样本卡片上的“SAVE”（保存）部分，并拍张检测 ID 的照片。您只能使用自己的匿名检测 ID 查看您的检测结果。将样本卡放在桌上，有两个圆圈的那一面朝上。
3. 手臂划大圈或向下抖动手 20 秒，以刺激血液流动。
4. 将一次性刺血针取出。除去透明安全盖，刺血针即可使用。
用酒精擦拭和清洁指尖（建议使用中指）。
面向桌上的采集纸，将刺血针放在指尖后半部的位置。将刺血针的顶部推向手指，直到听到喀哒声。刺血针会自动在手指上刺一下
5. 请勿用手指触碰滤纸。
6. 让血液填满圆圈，每次填满一个圆圈。轻轻挤压您的手指，让一滴血液自行滴落至圆圈中。如果一滴血液没能填满圆圈，可立即让手指再滴一滴血液。将样本卡片在室温下水平放置至少 10 分钟，以使样本充分干燥。
7. 将样本卡片重新插入纸卡套。然后将纸卡套放入铝箔袋中并合上。
重要提示：
请勿去除铝箔袋内的干燥袋。
8. 将密闭的铝箔袋放入带有实验室地址的大信封中。
