Comprehensive Stool Analysis w/Parasitology x1 from Life Extension Lab Testing

The panel combines PCR pathogen detection, live-organism culture, and microscopy, and notes that currently validated FDA-cleared probes exist only for pathogenic species. The performing lab is arranged through National Diagnostics, Inc.

The panel covers digestion and absorption, microbiome balance, intestinal inflammation, immune response, pathogenic bacteria, yeast, and parasites, the key dimensions of a comprehensive stool assessment.

Fourteen PCR pathogen targets plus elastase, calprotectin, lactoferrin, secretory IgA, commensal bacteria, yeast culture, ova and parasites microscopy, and antimicrobial susceptibility give broad coverage of acute and chronic GI issues.

At $449, the panel is a premium-priced stool test, and residents of Pennsylvania and New York cannot purchase it, which limits its value for some buyers.

Key markers are grouped into six actionable areas with plain-language explanations of what each measures, and a sample report shows the result format before purchase.

The marker list, sample method, turnaround, and the Pennsylvania and New York exclusions are published. Laboratory services are arranged through National Diagnostics, Inc as an independent contractor.

The at-home kit offers one-day or three-day collection, but Pennsylvania and New York residents cannot order it and results are not available online.

No privacy or data-handling policy specific to this test is published on the offer page, so buyers must rely on the general privacy practices of Life Extension and the laboratory.
