Exceptional, hospital-grade LC-MS/MS quality. After 40 years of unexplained GI issues, this was the only test that actually showed the underlying problem. The report is raw data only (which keeps the price low), but that’s a strength: you can run it through any AI model and get a complete clinical interpretation.
Use this prompt:
“Interpret these bile acid results using the East Asian LC-MS/MS Type I–IV classification (functional flow-based amidation model). Identify whether the bottleneck is taurine, glycine, or global, and map the appropriate treatment logic.”
This framework is far more useful than the Western single-gene approach. It distinguishes partial vs total pathway collapse and gives immediate therapeutic direction. Using that model, I finally identified a chronic Type-II (taurine-limited) pattern that no doctor had caught.
Highly recommend—this test gives you the data you need to actually solve long-term, functional bile acid problems.

I find the Liver bile acid test is easy to use because it is just an urine sample. I do not have to draw out any blood where I would probably make an error.

Detailed Report, Good Value Home Kit. Judging by the packaging for my sample, I was initially skeptical about the authenticity of this home test kit. I also bought an Everlywell kit for comparison, which was all slick, glossy packaging and printed forms. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by the GSL Bile Acid Home Test Kit results, which were spot on with the Everlywell results, but provided a more detailed than the other brand’s test kit. This test kit gave me much more information for a better price and was a better value that the other test kit that I purchased, so I would definitely recommend it.
