What the Standard price includes
The collection kit, practitioner lab order, laboratory analysis, your full results report and a general Self-Interpretation Guide (PDF) are included. You receive the same full report whether or not you purchase a personalized review.
Not included in Standard: zonulin and a personalized results review. Compare the + Zonulin panel or see the optional written review. The price comparison explains these separate options.
Complete one intake per person after payment before the practitioner places your lab order. A test and its purchased review use the same form. Outbound shipping costs US$50 per physical lab test to supported U.S. territories (AS, GU, MP, PR, VI) and international destinations served by DNA Life, including Germany. Germany is available at checkout. If your country is not listed, contact us before ordering to confirm availability. For Canadian delivery, order from our Canada store. Check eligible states and shipping and return-label exceptions, or read the ordering FAQ.
85+ biomarkers from a single at-home sample
Selected microbial DNA targets are measured by qPCR; intestinal-health markers use other laboratory methods.
+1–3 after release for results email
Pathogens & opportunists
Selected bacterial, parasitic, viral and fungal targets. Results may be quantitative or qualitative, depending on the target.
Microbiome balance
Beneficial and opportunistic flora that shape digestion, immunity and mood.
Intestinal health markers
Inflammation, immune response, digestion and absorption.
Why qPCR DNA?
GI-MAP uses qPCR to estimate selected microbial targets in the sample, alongside intestinal-health markers. We recommend reviewing your results with a licensed practitioner. A detected target or out-of-range value does not establish the cause of symptoms on its own.
Interpret the findings alongside symptoms, medical history and other testing.

A clear, color-coded results report
The report presents laboratory measurements and reference ranges for discussion with your healthcare professional. Results alone do not establish a diagnosis or treatment plan.
Different tests answer different questions
GI-MAP uses qPCR for selected microbial targets and includes intestinal-health markers measured by other laboratory methods. Discuss which tests are appropriate for your symptoms with a qualified healthcare professional. GI-MAP does not replace other testing when indicated.
GI-MAP™ Standard — common questions
85+ biomarkers from one at-home stool sample, including selected microbial DNA targets measured by qPCR and intestinal-health markers measured by other laboratory methods.
Different stool tests answer different clinical questions. The GI-MAP™ measures defined microbial targets by qPCR. Results need clinical context and do not replace other testing when it is indicated.
No. GI-MAP™ + Zonulin adds an optional stool zonulin measurement to the Standard panel and is a separate purchase option. It is not a stand-alone diagnosis of intestinal permeability or other conditions. Compare the prices and inclusions, and ask a qualified healthcare professional whether the additional marker would be useful for your clinical question.
The lab’s standard processing time is 10–16 business days from the date it receives your sample. Once testing is complete and the lab releases your results to us, we typically need an additional 1–3 business days to process and email them to you.
Before you order, see what the GI-MAP™ test costs, check whether the GI-MAP™ is covered by insurance, or read about paying with HSA or FSA.
