Clinical-Grade Microbiome Testing, Without the Clinic Visit
Vancouver has one of Canada's densest communities of naturopathic doctors and functional-medicine practitioners — and the GI-MAP™ is the stool test most of them reach for. Using quantitative PCR (qPCR) DNA technology, it detects and quantifies 85+ biomarkers: bacterial and parasitic pathogens, H. pylori with 8 virulence factors, viruses, Candida and other fungi, beneficial flora, and gut-inflammation markers (calprotectin, secretory IgA, zonulin). Order it directly here — in CAD, shipped free — and you get the same lab-grade result without first becoming a clinic patient. See everything the GI-MAP™ measures →
GI-MAP™ vs. a Consumer Microbiome Kit
If you've searched "microbiome testing in Vancouver," you've probably seen consumer DNA-sequencing kits that suggest foods to eat. Those are wellness tools. The GI-MAP™ is different: it's built to find actionable clinical problems — an H. pylori infection, a parasite, Candida overgrowth, low beneficial bacteria, or gut inflammation — and to quantify them so a practitioner can act and re-test.
