EpiHealth™ - Alimetrics Diagnostics

A diagnostic test pattern determining the holistic status of butyrate, a recognised driver of intestinal health.

Screening for bacterial and immunological determinants of epithelial health
Butyrate is an important source of energy for tissues in the lower intestine
Healthy epithelium is an effective barrier against harmful agents, while facilitating uptake of nutrients
Butyrate has powerful anti-inﬂammatory effects
Deficiency of butyrate-producing bacteria is associated with intestinal health problems

Butyrate Is a Widely-Recognised Indicator Of Intestinal Health With Multiple Benefits

Consists of the following analyses:

Functional genes encoding for the key enzymes in butyrate-producing pathways
- Butyrate kinase (BUK)
- Butyryl-CoA-acetate transferase (BUT)
Total eubacteria
Residual concentration of butyrate and its proportion of total volatile fatty acids
Calprotectin
