Comprehensive profile
Get a complete understanding of your gut.
The biomarkers on our Comprehensive Profile reflect the 3 key functions of gut health: Digestion/Absorption, Inflammation/Immunology, and the Gut Microbiome.
- Pancreatic Elastase-1 is a marker of exocrine pancreatic function.
- Products of Protein Breakdown are markers of undigested protein reaching the colon.
- Fecal Fat is a marker of fat breakdown and absorption.
- Calprotectin is a marker of neutrophil-driven inflammation. Produced in abundance at sites of inflammation, this biomarker has been proven clinically useful in differentiating between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).4,5
- Eosinophil Protein X is a marker of eosinophil-driven inflammation and allergic response.
- Faecal Secretory IgA is a marker of gut secretory immunity and barrier function.
- Faecal Occult Blood Test detects hidden blood; faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) is a preferred noninvasive test for colorectal cancer screening/detection.
- Metabolic indicators, including short-chain fatty acids and beta-glucuronidase, demonstrate specific and vital metabolic functions performed by the microbiota.
- Commensal Bacteria demonstrate the composition and relative abundance of gut organisms.
- Bacterial and mycology cultures demonstrate the presence of specific beneficial and pathological organisms.
- Bacterial and mycology sensitivities are provided for pathogenic or potentially pathogenic organisms that have been cultured. The report includes effective prescriptive and natural agents.
- Parasitology includes comprehensive testing for all parasites on every parasitology exam ordered.
- Campylobacter
- Clostridium difficile
- Escherichia coli
- Feacal Lactoferrin
- Helicobacter pylori
- Macro Exam for Worms
- Zonulin Family Peptide
- KOH Preparation for Yeast

I recently had blood test, simply for peace of mind that I was on track with everything. TransformNow booked me in promptly, were speedy in sending the results and called me to discuss. Excellent, ill be returning!

Outstanding service, highly recommend. Blood work was highly detailed. From testosterone levels to liver function one of the most comprehensive blood test available on the market. Got a fully comprehensive written report and a telephone … More conversation led with complete customer integrity compassion and jargon free feedback. Have you ever been on the phone with your NHS doctor? Well this is the complete opposite they aren’t trying to rush you off the phone. Very customer focused business. Thank you Mr Khan.

I went to TransformNow for my blood work. This was the first time that I'd gone somewhere like TransformNow. I had nothing to worry about because the service was friendly, and straight to the point.
I would definitely recommend it … More for anyone looking to have their blood work done. -
Brilliant service! This man goes the extra mile for anyone who walks through the door.
Walked in on a Saturday and had my results by Tuesday, with a in depth 30 minute call on the matter at hand, I’d strongly recommend this place to anyone. … More
