Darmflora MIKROBIOM-Test Complete: can a DNA test help?

A DNA test like the MyBody-X Microbiome Test cannot directly analyze your gut flora. DNA tests examine your genetic predispositions, not the actual composition of your gut bacteria. For a meaningful microbiome assessment, a stool sample analysis with metagenomic sequencing is required. MyBody-X offers a 'Microbiome Test Complete', but it relies on DNA markers that may only indirectly relate to gut flora. The evidence for such tests is often weak and not clinically validated. Do not rely on a DNA test to assess your gut health. Consult a doctor for evidence-based microbiome diagnostics.
