Dysbiosis test

Dysbiosis Test is a diagnostic test that is carried out on a urine sample to detect the presence of two molecules: indica and skatole in the organic liquid, symptoms of a condition of intestinal dysbiosis.

Normally Indica and Skatole are substances present in the urine only in trace amounts (1-20 mg/dl), if their quantity is higher than this value it is possible that a state of intestinal dysbiosis is underway.

The most common symptoms are: frequent diarrhea, constipation alternating with diarrhea, abdominal swelling, digestive difficulties, Candida infections, Herpes simplex and viral diseases.
