AnalysisPartner laboratory in Germany
Evaluation usually takes 7–21 days once the sample reaches the laboratory, not from the order. We let you know as soon as your results are in.
  • Four parameters, gut-brain axis Histamine, tryptophan, serotonin and GABA from a single sample
  • Sample collection at home Only a stool sample is needed
  • Results consultation included 10 minutes of free discussion

The approach

Measure first, then decide

Without measured values, any treatment is guesswork. We turn the order around: first the lab report, then the decision.

Consultation to make sense of the measured values
  1. 01
    Measure Four neurotransmitter markers from one stool sample, analysed at the partner laboratory in Germany.
    Reizdarm Komplett · stool sample · 7–21 days from sample arrival
  2. 02
    See where you stand Every value appears in the lab report with the laboratory's reference range. You can see which values fall inside it and which do not.
    Lab report including a results consultation
  3. 03
    Targeted instead of general Instead of a standard package you take what your values point to — agreed with a practitioner.
    Initial consultation 10 minutes, free
  4. 04
    Measure again after a few months The same analysis a second time shows how the values have changed.
    Earliest sensible interval: 3 months

Ory experts are there for you

All along the way, doctors and Heilpraktiker from the Ory team are there for you — with your lab report and everything after it.

Initial consultation

What a value means, and whether a supplement is right for you, is something to discuss with a practitioner. This page makes no recommendation and is no substitute for medical assessment.

What this analysis includes

What is measured

Histamine, tryptophan, serotonin and GABA from one stool sample — the neurochemical basis of chronic gut complaints.

A672 Histamine Points to a disturbed gut barrier and activated mast cells
A672 Tryptophan Precursor of serotonin; a shortfall affects sleep and peristalsis
A672 Serotonin & GABA Over 90 % produced in the gut; involved in peristalsis, pain perception and stress reactivity

The biomarker reference explains what lies behind the numbers: how values interact, which cofactors are involved and which biochemical processes take place in the body — for all values and areas, not only this analysis.

To the biomarker reference

Who for

Reizdarm Komplett is suitable for chronic gut complaints that come with mood problems, anxiety or exhaustion — where stress, changes in the microbiome or local gut inflammation might be affecting neurotransmitter metabolism.

What a single value means in your situation is something you discuss with a practitioner. It does not replace a medical assessment.

How it works

Four steps from order to lab report.

  1. 01 Kit arrives Shipped next working day, postage paid to your door.
  2. 02 Take the sample One stool sample with the OmicSnap Meta set.
  3. 03 Send it in In the transport tube provided, postage paid to the lab.
  4. 04 Get your report 7–21 days after the sample arrives, discussion included.

Instructions

The essentials first:

  • Take the stool sample with the OmicSnap Meta set, avoiding contact with toilet water.
  • Close the sample tightly and label it.
  • Send it in the postage-paid envelope, as soon as possible after collection.

Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation matters, so that your sample – stool, urine, saliva or blood – can be evaluated cleanly and meaningfully.

Sending your sample back

So that your sample reaches the laboratory safely, please follow this rule for your country.

Country Postage Shipping
GermanyAlready paidReturn postage is prepared, you do not need a stamp.
AustriaAdd your own postageTo our address in Vienna, not to Germany.
SwitzerlandAdd your own postageSeparate return bag for Switzerland, sent to Germany.

In short: Germany, everything is ready. Austria, add postage and send to Vienna. Switzerland, add postage, special bag, send to Germany. Rest of Europe, add postage and send to Germany.

Family and partner testing

Testing together shows connections that a single analysis does not reveal. We need three things for that.

Clear details per person For each person tested we need a name and date of birth, so the laboratory can match everything correctly.
An email address of their own Each person needs an individual email address for secure digital access. If that is not possible, we send the results as a PDF to a shared address.
Clear labelling Samples and forms must each be assigned to exactly the right person.

From three tests of the same analysis for the family you get 10 % off. Write to us and you will get your individual discount code.

Reimbursement by private insurance

For possible reimbursement by your private insurer, this is how it works with us:

01 A short online consultation with one of our therapists We go through your symptoms and put together a short, suitable case history.
02 A referral for the appropriate lab tests After the consultation you receive a referral you can submit to your private insurer.

Many private insurers cover the cost in full or in part – some not at all. That depends entirely on your policy. We will support you through the process as best we can.
