Faecalibacterium prausnitzii

Individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, or those with chronic gut issues might benefit from testing. It’s also useful for those interested in understanding their gut microbiome health.

Healthy levels support gut health, reduce inflammation, and may protect against certain gut disorders. They contribute to a balanced gut microbiome, crucial for overall health.

Consuming a high-fiber diet with prebiotics, reducing stress, and avoiding unnecessary antibiotics can help increase its levels. A diverse diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains supports its growth.

Low levels can indicate an imbalance in the gut microbiome and are often associated with inflammatory bowel diseases and poor gut health.
