Micronutrients, as opposed to macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fat), are comprised of vitamins and minerals which are required in small quantities to ensure normal metabolism, growth and physical well‐being.

Your genetics, aging, lifestyle, chronic illness, and medications all affect your cellular nutrient absorption. The intracellular portion of Vibrant’s micronutrient test takes all the above factors into consideration to identify your cellular nutrient absorption status. This test can reveal a person’s functional nutritional status over a much longer time (4-6 months) than extracellular testing.

Knowing both your extracellular and intracellular micronutrient levels are key to a thorough understanding of your nutritional requirements at a foundational level, which may contribute to your risk for disease, while simultaneously and positively impacting your overall health and well-being.

For the detection of wheat and gluten-related disorders, intestinal permeability, celiac disease, and gluten-related autoimmunity.

1 in 7 individuals in the United States has a wheat-related disorder.

As gluten- and wheat-sensitivity become better recognized in the medical community, the need for accurate and highly sensitive testing to identify affected individuals has grown. Vibrant’s answer is the Wheat Zoomer^TM.

The Wheat Zoomer^TM aids in the specific recognition of antibodies to wheat peptides – including gluten and non-gluten components, along with antibodies that indicate the presence of intestinal permeability. It is also a highly sensitive peptide-based array designed to detect autoimmune reactions to gluten.

Symptoms and conditions associated with wheat and/or gluten sensitivity include:

• Digestive discomfort/IBS
• Low vitamin D levels
• Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog”
• Low energy levels/fatigue
• Intestinal permeability (“leaky gut syndrome”)
• Skin inflammation (eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis)
• Chronic headaches or migraines
• Weight gain/weight loss
• Joint pain or numbness in the legs, arms, or fingers

A unique opportunity to take a close look at the microbial world that exists in our gut, and how it affects our daily functions.

The gut microbiome resides in your large intestine and is host to more than 1000 species of bacteria that perform certain important functions from shaping the immune system to influencing metabolism of nutrients to fortifying the intestinal mucosal barrier (gut barrier).

It is important to know the abundances of the bacteria that symbiotically live in the human gastrointestinal tract because imbalances in the gut microbiome may lead to gastrointestinal symptoms, skin conditions, autoimmune disorders, immune system imbalances, and multiple inflammatory disorders.

Vibrant uses a proprietary microarray hybridization technology platform, using the whole-genome data to simultaneously detect over 300 microorganisms with 99% specificity and 98% sensitivity, unheard-of levels of accuracy in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms. Because Vibrant does not use sequencing technology, which is time-consuming and prone to high level so inaccuracy, the Gut Zoomer is the most accurate microbiome test available to aid discerning healthcare providers in the assessment and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.

The Gut Zoomer report provides you with actionable recommendations that include potential risks for:

• Intestinal permeability (SCFA producing bacteria and tight junction integrity)
• Intestinal disorders (IBS and IBD related bacteria)
• Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)- related bacteria
• Cardiovascularhealth (inflammationinfluencing and TMAO-related bacteria)
• Autoimmune health (celiac, Crohn’s, rheumatoid arthritis, etc)
• Neurological health (MS, Parkinson’s, and more)
• Liver diseases (cirrhosis, hepatitis, cholangitis, and more)
• Metabolic health (Obesity, diabetes, etc)
• Nutrition (Vitamin production, oxalate metabolism)
• Microbiome and hormone connections (Beta-glucuronidase and Beta-glucosidase)
• 67 pathogenic bacteria
• 24 Intestinal parasites
• 8 viruses
• 5 Fungal or yeast species
• 5 worm species
• 6 antibiotic resistance genes measured

and newly added additional markers of functional digestive status:

• Calprotectin
• Pancreatic elastase 1
• Bile acids
• Cholic acid
• Chenodeoxycholic acid
• Deoxycholic acid
• Lithocholic acid
• Acetic acid
• Butyric acid
• Propionic acid
• Valeric acid
• Total SCFAs
• ß-glucuronidase

The test performs the most comprehensive analysis available of your intestinal microbiomeecosystem from a simple one-time stool collection. This test examines the complex and intricate relative abundance of each species or genus measured, in relation to the rest of the ecosystem, to provide a unique perspective on the gut microbiome and its connection to disease and inflammation.
