The gut microbiome is the collection of microorganisms and their genetic composition that live in our gut. It is estimated that it is made up of about 100 trillion microorganisms that participate in numerous functions important for our health. The microbiome consists mainly of bacteria. It is estimated 90% of diseases are related to imbalances in the gut microbiome.

Scientific evidence show that an increasing number of diseases are associated with changes to the gut microbiome, and individuals with disease show significantly different gut microbiota profiles compared to healthy individuals . It is important to remember that many of these associations are correlations only - each disease is still being studied to establish if the disease causes changes in the gut microbiome, or if a change in the gut microbiome causes the disease.

SZA Longevity Gut Health test is a metagenomic sequencing test that allows an in-depth, objective, and actionable study of the gut microbiome.

There’s a wide variation in gut microbiome from person to person. Even identical twins only share 37% of the same gut microbes (compared with 35% in unrelated people). However, twins do have a few specific species in common, which suggests that some bacteria prefer to live in people with particular genetic characteristics 2 .

Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria are some of the dominant bacteria in the human gut . In SZA Longevity Gut Health report, we will compare the bacterial composition in your gut with the reference population. It is important to remind you that your values can be different from the average population due to the characteristics of your microbiome.

You will have detailed information on the microorganisms that inhabit the gut and their functionality, the impact they have on health and how to achieve a balance through personalized nutritional recommendations.

human gut microbiome

Your gut health influences other parts of your body. There’s a clear link between the type of bacteria in your gut and your risk of common diseases. In SZA Longevity Gut Health report, you will also find a personalized analysis of your
gut microbiome in association with 29 health conditions.

The presence, absence, or difference in abundance levels of a particular microorganism is not sufficient by itself for the diagnosis of a particular disease or disorder. This test is not an alternative to conventional methods used in the detection of bacteria species or their antibiotic sensitivity profiles. The microorganisms associated with health conditions are simply an indication of potential issues. The test results are not a diagnosis and should not be treated as such.

Metagenomic sequencing (shotgun metagenomics) is the technique used by SZA Longevity. It is a comprehensive and the most effective way to provide a complete picture of the microorganisms within the gut and their functional potential. This technique can detect very low abundance members of the microbial community that may be missed using other methods and provides information about the metabolic processes and functions present within a microbial community.
