Core Tip	The biology of the gut-liver axis has always been fascinating and exceedingly difficult to study. With the rapidly expanding interest in the gut microbiome, however, finding better measurement techniques to evaluate this biology has never been more relevant. Breath volatile organic compounds (VOCs) measurement presents the unmatched potential to address this critical unmet need. Breath measurement can be challenging, however, and requires coherent teams including engineers, breath chemists, and clinical researchers. It also requires long term vision and strategy. This paper describes the rationale for breath VOCs, critically reviews the history of breath VOC development, and offers suggestions for progress.
