01

What can a gut microbiome test show?

A gut microbiome test uses a stool sample to profile microbial composition and related sequencing-derived features. Depending on the selected method and report package, your results may include composition summaries, diversity context, key taxa patterns, ATLAS™ interpretation layers, confidence indicators, and longitudinal comparison when retesting is available.

  • Microbial composition
  • Diversity and richness patterns
  • Relative abundance of major microbial groups
  • Sequencing-derived microbial features
  • Report structure through Foundation Packs, Scores, Panels, and Insight Packs where selected
  • Repeat-test comparison when available

The report describes microbial patterns and interpretation context. It does not convert microbiome results into personal medical decisions.

02

What this page does not promise

Responsible microbiome interpretation starts with clear boundaries. Gut microbiome reports can help organize sequencing-derived microbial information, but they should not be used as a replacement for personal medical care.

  • It does not replace care from a qualified professional.
  • It does not provide emergency or acute-care interpretation.
  • It does not guarantee health outcomes.
  • It does not turn microbiome findings into treatment decisions.
  • Method resolution and interpretation depth depend on the selected configuration.

GutX™ turns gut microbiome data into a clearer report pathway

GutX™ is the VAMS BIOME gut microbiome test. It combines home stool collection, sequencing-derived microbial analysis, and VAMS ATLAS™ interpretation options so users can move from raw microbial data toward structured report context.

04

Start with the report package, then choose sequencing depth

VAMS BIOME keeps two choices separate. Your package controls interpretation depth. Sequencing depth controls biological resolution. This makes the buying journey easier to understand while preserving the scientific method details.

Essential Profile

A clear microbiome baseline.

Recommended

ATLAS Core

Recommended package for structured ATLAS™ interpretation.

ATLAS Plus

Expanded interpretation, eligible Insight Packs, and longitudinal readiness where supported.

Essential Profile, ATLAS Core, and ATLAS Plus are not renamed versions of 16S, WGS, and MetaT.

05

16S, WGS, and MetaT explain data resolution — not package level

Sequencing depth changes what type of microbial information can be generated from a sample. It does not decide the entire report experience on its own.

16S Foundation™

A strong starting point for baseline microbial composition and diversity.

WGS Advanced™

Higher-resolution taxonomic and functional-potential context where supported.

MetaT Functional™

Activity-context interpretation where compatible with the sample type and workflow.

What VAMS ATLAS™ adds to gut microbiome analysis

VAMS ATLAS™ organizes sequencing-derived microbiome features into structured report layers. Foundation Packs provide core ecosystem interpretation. Scores summarize focused microbial patterns. Panels group related scores into biological domains. Insight Packs add deeper thematic interpretation where compatible.

  • Foundation Pack
  • Scores
  • Panels
  • Insight Packs
  • Confidence indicators
  • Longitudinal tracking views

Scores and Panels are report outputs. They are not sold as standalone products.

See how a gut microbiome report is structured

A VAMS BIOME report is designed to make sequencing-derived results easier to navigate. Report views may include composition, diversity context, ATLAS™ layers, confidence indicators, method notes, and sample-specific limitations.

Sample report previews use illustrative data. Actual report content depends on the selected product, package, sequencing depth, data quality, and compatible interpretation layers.

Should you choose GutX™ or a bundle?

GutX™ is the focused starting point for gut microbiome context. A bundle may be more useful when you want to understand gut patterns alongside another ecosystem such as vaginal, oral, or skin microbiome context.

FAQ

Gut microbiome test — frequently asked questions

What is a gut microbiome test?

A gut microbiome test uses a stool sample to summarize microbial composition and related sequencing-derived features from the gut ecosystem. The report may include diversity context, key taxa patterns, method notes, and ATLAS™ interpretation layers depending on the selected package and sequencing depth.

What is the difference between a gut microbiome test and GutX™?

A gut microbiome test is the category. GutX™ is the VAMS BIOME gut microbiome test, designed with package-first configuration, sequencing-depth options, ATLAS™ interpretation, confidence indicators, and secure digital report access.

Is sequencing depth the same as package level?

No. Sequencing depth controls biological resolution. Package level controls interpretation depth. VAMS BIOME keeps these choices separate so users can choose a clear report pathway without hiding the method details.

Which package should I start with?

ATLAS Core is the recommended starting point for users who want structured ATLAS™ interpretation, including the Gut Foundation Pack, core scores, panels, and confidence indicators. Essential Profile is suitable for a clear baseline, while ATLAS Plus supports expanded interpretation where compatible.

Can I compare gut results over time?

Repeat testing can support longitudinal comparison when the same reporting structure and compatible analysis pathway are available.

Is this a medical service?

No. VAMS BIOME reports are designed for educational microbiome interpretation, wellness context, and longitudinal awareness. They are not a substitute for personal medical care.
