What happens after you order
Outbound shipping is free to eligible U.S. states and DC, and kit delivery usually takes 3–5 business days after dispatch. International and territory shipping is US$50 per physical lab test; destination eligibility and return instructions are in the shipping policy. An authorized ordering practitioner reviews your intake and places the required lab order — the GI-MAP™ cannot be self-ordered, and that lab order is included in the price rather than an extra step you arrange. Interpretation of your results is a separate, optional service.
After payment, complete one required intake form per participant before the practitioner places the lab order. Collect your stool sample at home and return it using the prepaid label where available (remote exceptions apply). Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory (CLIA-certified) uses qPCR for selected microbial DNA targets and separate methods for additional intestinal-health markers. GI-MAP lab processing: 10–16 business days from sample receipt, plus an additional 1–3 business days after lab release for us to process and email your results; see how results delivery works.
Before you buy — the practical details
The comprehensive panel is $525, or $600 with the zonulin add-on — full details on the cost page. We accept HSA/FSA cards for eligible purchases, and we do not bill insurance. The U.S. storefront serves eligible U.S. states and DC, excluding New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island; 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. Check state availability and shipping terms before ordering; Canada uses a separate storefront.
Not certain which panel fits? The Standard panel is the right default for most people; + Zonulin adds an optional stool zonulin measurement with important interpretation limits, and the H. Pylori Profile is a targeted test, not a full gut panel. If you want to see exactly what you will get back before spending anything, look at the annotated sample report.
The GI-MAP™ is a laboratory test, not a diagnosis. Results should be interpreted with a qualified practitioner — the Optional practitioner review exists for that.
