Wondering what a VagiX™ report looks like? See a sample report
Get to know your vaginal microbiome
An at-home vaginal swab reveals your sequencing-derived microbial community — including your Lactobacillus profile and community-state pattern context. Calm, careful interpretation, with privacy-first access to your results.
VagiX characterises your vaginal microbial community as ecology — never a diagnosis — and presents it with reassurance, context and explicit limits. Designed for clarity, privacy and trust at every step.
Derived from sequencing data. Describes community patterns — not infection, fertility, or diagnosis. Educational and wellness-oriented.
A clearer picture of your vaginal ecosystem — read with care
VagiX™ helps users explore vaginal microbial community patterns without turning microbiome context into medical claims.
Your vaginal microbiome is a living community, and its composition can shift over time. VagiX™ sequences a single at-home swab to map that community and give you educational context you can actually understand — no jargon, no alarm.
Each report is designed for awareness and learning, not medical decisions. You'll see where your sample sits within known community-state patterns, and an optional VAMS ATLAS™ layer adds deeper interpretation where compatible.
Community composition — the mix of microbes your sequencing identified
Lactobacillus profile context — a look at this well-studied group within your sample
Community-state pattern context — how your profile compares to described patterns
Longitudinal awareness — a baseline you can revisit over time
VagiX™ is for microbiome education and personal awareness. It does not diagnose infections or replace care from your own clinician.
Designed for educational microbiome interpretation. It is not intended to replace professional judgement.
What VagiX™ can help you understand
VagiX™ focuses on vaginal microbial composition, Lactobacillus ecology and community-state context where supported.
See what VagiX captures — the microbial patterns drawn from your sample — with interpretation kept separate from raw observation.
Vaginal ecosystem outputs are sequencing-derived and method-aware.
What you receive with VagiX™

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.
VagiX™ 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.
Choose how much interpretation you want
Every VagiX™ 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 Vaginal Ecology 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.
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

Common questions about VagiX™
Clear answers for choosing sequencing depth, ATLAS™ interpretation, Insight Packs and repeat testing.
Common questions about VagiX, answered plainly — coverage, method, interpretation and what the results do and do not mean.
What does VagiX™ measure?
VagiX™ summarizes sequencing-derived patterns in vaginal microbial composition, relative abundance, diversity and community context.
Which sequencing tier should I choose?
Choose 16S Foundation™ for baseline composition and diversity, WGS Advanced™ for broader taxonomic and functional pathway context, or MetaT Functional™ for microbial activity context where available.
What does ATLAS™ add?
ATLAS™ adds structured scores, scientific panels, confidence indicators, tracking views and optional Insight Packs where compatible.
Are Insight Packs included by default?
No. Insight Packs are optional modules shown during configuration when product, sequencing tier and report level compatibility support them.
Can I compare results over time?
Yes, repeat testing can support longitudinal comparison when the same reporting structure is available.
Does VagiX™ provide personal medical advice?
No. It is designed for educational microbiome interpretation and should not be used as a substitute for professional guidance.

What each sequencing depth can — and can’t — tell you
Sequencing depth decides what biological data exists; it doesn’t decide what your results mean. 16S Foundation™ reads composition, diversity and community structure. WGS Advanced™ adds species-level and genomic pathway-potential context. MetaT Functional™ adds RNA-derived expression-context where the workflow and quality support it. We label every output with the method behind it.
Baseline composition & diversity

What your results can mean — and what they can’t
What this can mean: a clearer picture of your vaginal microbial composition, diversity and ecological context, with confidence cues that show how strongly each pattern should be read. What this cannot mean: a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a prediction of disease. VagiX™ is evidence-led wellness interpretation — designed to inform good questions, not replace professional care.
Sequencing-derived and educational. Not a diagnosis; read alongside symptoms, history and a clinician where relevant.
Not sure which depth or package is right?
Choosing between sequencing depths and packages is the part most people pause on. Take the two-minute quiz for a tailored VagiX™ recommendation, or send us a question and our team will help you choose — no pressure, no overclaiming.
ATLAS™ turns your sequencing into readable scores and panels — Insight Packs group those into guided, optional themes you can add when you want to go deeper.
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.
VagiX™ does not diagnose BV, infection, STIs, fertility status, pregnancy outcomes, or prescribe treatment.
