Some people suffer from bad breath due to their oral microbiome. Could your test diagnose that too and suggest solutions?


Halitosis is absolutely a wellness indication that we eventually plan to report on as we gain more insight to the pathways involved. A number of studies have suggested that sulfate reducing bacteria may be a culprit for bad breath, and we eventually may be able to target those specific microbes and limit halitosis in the near future.


Look into K12 and M18 probiotics, I commented elsewhere in this thread about it.
