What is a GUT panel?
The BOD panel, powered by BIOHM technologies, is a comprehensive at-home test kit designed to analyze the bacterial and fungal composition of your gut microbiome.
The process is quick and simple. Once you receive your box and register your kit in the secure portal, you collect your small stool sample, mail it to the lab in a prepaid package.
The results are sent back in around 3 weeks, which allows time for the sample culture to be grown for accurate testing, and the detailed results and report are available online in your own portal.
