The gap between your gut test and your gut health
Choosing between a microbiome test kit and Throne? Consider both.

Microbiome tests give you a plan. It's up to you to make it work — until now.
Millions of people have mailed off a stool sample, gotten a bacteria breakdown, and felt like they finally understood their gut health.
Then, a few weeks after eliminating the suggested foods, it feels like you're right back at the same digestive issues.
That's because your gut health is more than what lives in your digestive tract. It's how that system functions: how often you poop, how often you pee, and the predictability (and comfort) of these bathroom visits.
Your test results probably aren't wrong. Your measurement plan is.
Your gut responds to everything. Every meal, every bad night of sleep, every stressful Tuesday.
Even if your bacterial balance is the same as the day you took the test, you can't see what's really going on if you're not watching your digestive pattern. Throne helps you fill in the gaps, so you can make those science-backed changes with proof they're working.
Wearables like WHOOP solved this problem for fitness a decade ago.
No one canceled their annual doctor’s visit when they got a Whoop. They kept both, because blood tests and wearables answer completely different questions.
Your gut has needed its own “wearable” ever since. Throne tracks every bathroom visit automatically, seeing those shifts as they happen. It automatically tracks stool and urine patterns, showing changes that one-time tests just can’t catch.
You don't need to choose between understanding what's in your gut and understanding what your gut is doing.
Now you can have both.
