# Does the myBioma test measure diagnostic markers such as calprotectin, zonulin or pH value?

Find out which markers are included in the analysis.

The myBioma test is **not a medically diagnostic stool test**, but a **microbiome analysis**. That means:  
We examine the **composition of the gut microbiome** (bacterial diversity, ratios, and the tendencies derived from them), **not** classic diagnostic markers.

### These markers are **not** measured

With the myBioma test, among other things, the following values are **not** analyzed:

-   Calprotectin
    
-   Alpha-1-antitrypsin
    
-   Zonulin
    
-   pH value
    
-   Pancreatic elastase
    
-   Secretory IgA
    
-   Helicobacter pylori
    
-   classic inflammatory markers or digestive residues
    

These parameters belong to **medical diagnostics** and can only be determined through medical tests or specialized laboratories.

### What does the myBioma test analyze instead?

The focus is on the **gut microbiome**, specifically on:

-   the bacterial composition
    
-   the microbial diversity
    
-   functional relationships in the microbiome
    
-   tendencies in areas such as digestion, metabolism, mental and physical balance
    

The results **do not provide diagnoses**, but instead help you better understand the microbiome and derive lifestyle and nutrition recommendations.
