How does Thorne's Gut Health Test differ from Sungenomics?
Sungenomics uses the same best-in-class metagenomic sequencing Thorne uses and appears to be working with reputable labs. However, Thorne is unsure how deep their sequencing coverage is or what their experience is in the field. Most importantly, we use a complex combination of commercially available products or single nutrients because we have seen that very few products work alone. This paper, published in Cell, indicates probiotics alone have a difficult time colonizing in the human gut. This paper came out as we were running our own trial and corresponds with our preliminary findings that pre and probiotics, in combination with digestive enzymes and nutritional interventions, work much better in combination than alone. Our clinical trial can be found here.
