MicrobioTx launches finger prick-based test to profile gut microbiome (The Financial Express)

MicrobioTx has launched the Gut Function Test (GFT), a groundbreaking blood-based test that profiles the gut microbiome with just a finger-prick, eliminating the need for stool samples. Recently approved by Indian regulators, the GFT aims to make gut health assessment more accessible and affordable, supported by a grant from DPIIT through the Institute of Life Science. Along with microbiome profiling, the GFT offers users personalized recommendations, including dietary guidance and customized probiotics (Personal ProbioTx). According to co-founder Akanksha Gupta, this simplified, cost-effective approach addresses the barriers of traditional stool-based tests, promising a new era in gut health and preventive wellness.
