What do we offer?
A unique program that analyses and monitors an athlete’s microbiome and provides insights into nutrition choices to optimize performance, support recovery, and reduce the potential for illness and gastric discomfort.
What is it based on?
Peer-reviewed science and technology carried out by world-leading microbiome scientists who have decades of combined experience in studies of the microbiome of athletes.
Who is it for?
Elite Performance Nutritionists who want to optimize their athletes’ training, performance, and recovery, while reducing their downtime through illness or gastric issues.
SportGenix™ is a unique, best-in-class program designed to optimize the key attributes of microbiome health in athletes
- Several studies have identified microbial species that support improved VO2Max and endurance [2,3,4]
- Certain probiotic bacteria have also been identified that support enhanced recovery times, reduced muscle soreness, and better muscle growth [1,4]
- Strong evidence exists in relation to the interplay between the gut microbiome and the immune and respiratory systems, leading to reduced illness [1,13]
- The gut microbiome is thought to be responsible for 10-30% of total caloric intake, including efficient protein and energy metabolism [6, 7]
Where can performance be optimized?
- VO2Max and muscle growth
- Endurance and recovery
- Nutrition absorption and reduced intestinal discomfort
- Improved immune system function and resistance to illness
HOW WILL THIS HELP MY ATHLETES?
SeqBiome’s proprietary databases and data pipelines for athlete microbiome analysis are best-in-class and based on decades of experience, continued research, and constant updates to ensure the best knowledge is integrated into our test reports.
THE PROGRAM
-
- The program measures samples at multiple time points, first one at baseline, then post intervention, and a third discretionary time point. In this way, the athlete’s microbiome is assessed, improved, and monitored.
- Data provided from this unbiased testing program will enable robust, data-driven recommendations to athletes that are more likely to be adhered to.
- In addition to longitudinal data, performance nutritionists also have access to inter-athlete comparison data to relate performance attributes both within and between individuals’. This provides opportunities to translate this knowledge to support athletes that may lag in performance.
Provides a baseline profile of the athlete’s microbiome. This initial profile can be utilized by the Performance Nutritionist in guiding dietary and supplementation choices.
The second test assesses the outcomes of dietary and supplementation interventions and provides further insights when related to performance improvements.
A test completed at the Performance Nutritionist’s discretion, in or out of season that provides further insights into the dynamism of athlete’s microbiome.
