What items are measured in the Akkermansia test?
The Significance of Akkermansia muciniphila
Akkermansia muciniphila has gained research attention for several reasons:
- Metabolic Health: Studies have shown that individuals with metabolic conditions, such as type-2 diabetes and obesity, often exhibit reduced levels of Akkermansia muciniphila compared to those without these conditions.
- Intestinal Health: This bacterium plays a role in fortifying the intestinal mucosa, thereby aiding in the prevention of harmful substances infiltrating the bloodstream.
- Inflammation: It has been linked with inflammation levels in the body, especially in the context of gut health.
The Significance of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, recognised as a prime producer of butyrate in our gut, offers multiple health benefits:
- Anti-inflammatory Properties: It plays a part in reducing inflammation in the intestinal mucosa.
- Protection Against Diseases: Elevated levels of this bacterium can reduce the risk of conditions such as colon cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases.
Given the rising prevalence of inflammatory bowel conditions, understanding the role of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii becomes even more vital.
Who Can Benefit from the Akkermansia Test?
If you're curious about the composition of your gut flora, especially in relation to specific health concerns like type-2 diabetes, obesity, or inflammatory bowel conditions, this test might offer valuable insights. However, for those interested in a broader analysis of the gut flora, GetTested also provides comprehensive tests like Gut Microbiome Medium.
The Testing Process
The Akkermansia Test is straightforward. After placing an order, GetTested dispatches a test-kit, complete with all necessary components for a faecal sample collection. After collection, send the sample back to the lab for detailed analysis. The lab will then share the results digitally.
