Wondering what a GutX™ report looks like? See a sample report
GutX™: see the ecosystem behind digestion
An at-home stool test that maps your gut's sequencing-derived microbial composition and diversity — with an optional VAMS ATLAS™ layer that turns raw data into clear, readable context. Educational insight, not a diagnosis.
GutX profiles the bacteria in your gut and organises the signal into structured, non-diagnostic wellness insight — what is present, how balanced it is, and where careful interpretation applies. Upgrade from 16S to deeper sequencing whenever you want more resolution.
Derived from sequencing data. Educational and wellness-oriented — not for medical decision-making. Availability and pricing confirmed at configuration.
A focused gut test, built to be understood
GutX™ helps users explore gut microbial composition, diversity and functional potential in a clear, staged report pathway.
Most microbiome reports hand you a wall of raw taxa. GutX™ is designed the other way around: we sequence your stool sample, then organize the results into structured, plain-language context you can actually read and revisit.
From one at-home sample, GutX™ maps the sequencing-derived signals that describe your gut community:
Microbial composition — the relative abundance of the bacteria present in your sample
Diversity and richness — how varied and balanced your community appears
Ecosystem balance indicators — patterns across key microbial groups
Key taxa context — notable organisms placed in interpretable context
Add the optional VAMS ATLAS™ interpretation layer to structure these signals into panels and scores, and to track how your composition shifts over time when you retest. GutX™ is an educational wellness tool for understanding your microbiome — it does not diagnose, treat, or replace personal medical care.
Designed for educational microbiome interpretation. It is not intended to replace professional judgement.
What GutX™ can help you understand
GutX™ focuses on sequencing-derived gut microbial composition, diversity and functional context where supported.
GutX explains what this test measures from your selected sample workflow, and how those sequencing-derived observations are organised for reading.
Outputs reflect sequencing-derived microbial features and method scope. They are intended for educational microbiome interpretation.

Choose how much interpretation you want
Every GutX™ order includes your Microbiome Profiling Report. Packages add ATLAS™ interpretation — pick the depth that fits, and upgrade any time after your results.
Packages are separate from sequencing depth. Sequencing decides what data is generated; your package decides how much interpretation is unlocked. Most people start with ATLAS Core.
- ✓ Essential Profile — your Microbiome Profiling Report: composition, diversity, top taxa and method notes.
- ✓ ATLAS Core (recommended) — adds the ATLAS Intelligence Report, your Gut Foundation Pack, core scores, essential panels and confidence indicators.
- ✓ ATLAS Plus — expanded intelligence, enhanced score detail, Insight Pack credits and longitudinal readiness.
- ✓ Professional Insight — a separate practitioner and research add-on.

Package and sequencing depth are different choices
Your package decides how much interpretation your report includes. Sequencing depth decides what biological resolution can be generated from your sample. The configurator keeps these choices separate so you can choose a clear report pathway without hiding the method details.
- ✓ Package = report entitlement and interpretation depth
- ✓ Sequencing depth = biological data resolution
- ✓ Foundation Pack = included ecosystem-specific ATLAS interpretation layer
- ✓ Insight Packs = optional thematic interpretation modules
- ✓ Scores and panels = report outputs inside packs
- ✓ Essential Profile, ATLAS Core, and ATLAS Plus are not renamed versions of 16S, WGS, and MetaT. They are report interpretation packages with recommended method defaults.
Choose the data depth before you choose the interpretation layer.
Sequencing determines the type and resolution of microbiome data generated. ATLAS™ determines how compatible outputs are organized and interpreted.
GutX™ supports sequencing pathways based on product and sample workflow compatibility. Each tier changes resolution and interpretability; it does not change the purpose of the page into medical assessment.
16S Foundation™
Foundational microbial composition and diversity for baseline ecosystem profiling.
WGS Advanced™
Species-level detail and functional pathway context based on genomic potential where available.
MetaT Functional™
RNA-derived microbial activity context where supported by sample workflow and laboratory method.
ATLAS™ Intelligence Layer
Transforms sequencing-derived microbiome features into readable scores, scientific panels, confidence indicators, tracking views and optional Insight Packs.
- ✓ ATLAS™ Scores
- ✓ Scientific Panels
- ✓ Confidence indicators
- ✓ Reference cohort context

Responsible interpretation
Wellness education, with the limits shown
Educational, not diagnostic
VAMS BIOME reports are wellness education — they describe your microbiome, not a medical diagnosis or treatment.
Method-bounded
What can be inferred depends on the sequencing method (16S / WGS / MetaT) and sample quality. Boundaries are shown, not hidden.
Context, not certainty
Microbiome patterns describe context and association, read against reference cohorts with confidence indicators — not proof of cause.
Professional care
For symptoms or clinical decisions, speak with a qualified healthcare professional. Reports support understanding; they do not replace medical advice.
GutX™ does not diagnose digestive, immune, neurological, or mental-health conditions and does not prescribe supplements or treatment.
