Floré by Sun Genomics Microbiome Study: Pilot Study
Objective: To evaluate the effect of a Biocidin protocol on the microbiome via DNA sequencing of stool.
Testing: Gut Health Test by Floré by Sun Genomics
Participants: 13
Protocol:
Stool test performed before protocol began and after 2 months of product usage.
Biocidin® liquid-titrated to 10 drops 2 times per day
G.I. Detox™+ -2 capsules per day
Outcome:
- Probiotic abundance showed positive trends, but did not reach statistical significance.
- A keystone species, Akkermansia mucinophila, increased in 73% of the participants (8/11). 2 participants were not included in the data calculation of A. mucinophila due to zero measurable levels before the protocol began.
- Pharmaceutical antimicrobials cause significant collateral damage to probiotic species. Botanicals offer an alternative option with selective antimicrobial activity.
