Evaluating the Analytical Performance of Direct-to-Consumer Gut Microbiome Testing Services

2024-06-05

Abstract excerpt

Consumer interest in personal microbiome health has given rise to numerous direct-to-consumer (DTC) microbiome testing services despite questions regarding their analytical and clinical validity, and consumer safety. These tests straddle the line between more strictly regulated medical devices and minimally regulated general health and wellness products; a distinction that may not be readily apparent to consumers....
