Insight. One-off analysis.

An extensive snapshot of your gut microbiome

Collect your sample at home, have it analysed with advanced laboratory methods and receive a personal report that a doctor discusses with you at ease.

Recommended — Personal Programme — 1 year

Would you rather follow the development of your gut microbiome than get just a single snapshot?

In the Personal Programme — 1 year, your gut microbiome is followed for one year with repeated measurements, the results are personally interpreted by a doctor and adjustments are made where needed. The one-off analysis below remains a complete first step.

What you receive

Your personal report

Diversity
How varied your gut ecosystem is, compared with reference groups.
Composition
The ratio between the main bacterial groups in your sample.
Functional signals
Which metabolic capacities the ecosystem appears to have, and what can be said about that with reasonable certainty.
Context
How your dietary pattern, medication history and habits relate to the findings.
Certainty
For each observation, how strong the current evidence is.
Next steps
You receive personal nutritional advice, tailored to the outcomes of your gut microbiome analysis and your personal situation. Where appropriate, personal supplement advice follows as well. The doctor discusses with you which practical, realistic and concrete next steps suit your situation.

Honest boundaries

What this analysis is not

A microbiome analysis is not a diagnostic test. It cannot confirm or rule out a disease and does not replace assessment by your GP or specialist.

Microbiome science is developing rapidly and much remains unknown. Where the evidence for an observation is limited, your report states this explicitly.

If your symptoms indicate the need for medical assessment, we will say so — and refer you back to your own doctor, before any analysis.

When should you choose a gut microbiome test?

How can the gut microbiome influence health?

Scientific research shows that the gut microbiome communicates with the body through several biological systems: including the nervous system, the immune system, hormones and substances produced by gut bacteria.[1] This field of research is developing rapidly and not all connections have been fully clarified yet. What follows describes what research suggests so far — not what is established for any individual situation.

The gut-brain axisRead more

The gut and the brain are in constant communication: via nerve pathways, via the immune system, via hormones and via substances produced by gut bacteria.[1][3]

Research suggests that changes in the gut microbiome may be linked to mood, stress sensitivity, cognitive function and certain mental health conditions.[5][8] The gut microbiome may, among other things, influence the availability of substances involved in the production and regulation of neurotransmitters.[9] This is a complex field of research in which much remains unclear.[7]

A gut microbiome analysis does not provide a diagnosis and cannot establish or rule out mental or psychiatric conditions.[5][10]

The gut-skin axisRead more

There is growing evidence for a relationship between the gut microbiome and the skin.[11][13]

Disruptions in the gut ecosystem appear to be linked to inflammatory processes that may also play a role in certain skin conditions.[12][15] This is the subject of extensive research, but the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood.[11]

The gut-immune axisRead more

A large part of the immune system is located in and around the gut, in constant contact with the gut microbiome.[21][22]

Gut bacteria appear to contribute to the development and regulation of immune responses.[25][26] A balanced gut microbial composition appears to be important for a well-functioning immune system, although the precise relationship differs from person to person and remains subject to research.[24][30]

The gut-hormone axisRead more

The gut microbiome may be involved in processes that influence hormone balance.[31]

This topic receives considerable attention in scientific research, particularly in women, including in relation to the menstrual cycle, menopause and metabolism.[32][34][39] The exact role of the gut microbiome in this remains under further investigation.[33]

Points of interest

Gut microbiome, weight and gut complaints

A gut microbiome analysis can also be of interest to people who:

  • are seeking support with a healthy lifestyle and weight management;
  • experience long-standing gut-related complaints;
  • want to personally optimise their diet;
  • want more insight into their gut ecosystem.

The analysis can provide leads for personal dietary and lifestyle advice. The outcomes are always assessed in relation to your medical history and your personal situation.
