Your at-home microbiome test
Your test will give you information about…
Gut health
Your gut plays a central role in your immune system – around 70-80% of immune cells reside there. A healthy microbiome strengthens your immune defenses and helps to effectively ward off diseases.
Lose weight
Your microbiome can influence your weight. Studies show that a balanced gut flora is linked to a healthy metabolism. An imbalance in the microbiome can lead to both weight gain and weight loss.
Irritable bowel syndrome
Several studies show that the microbiome in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is disrupted in both its composition and functionality. This disruption ultimately affects the intestinal lining. Damaged intestinal lining can trigger inflammatory processes in the body, which can lead to changes in nerve activity, among other things.
Flatulence
The most obvious influence of the gut lies in digestion. A healthy microbiome supports smooth digestion and helps to avoid problems such as bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.

The gut microbiome
The gut microbiome refers to the entirety of all microorganisms that colonize the human gut, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microbes.
These tiny microbes live in a complex community that develops individually in each person. The composition of the microbiome is influenced by various factors such as diet, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition.
A balanced microbiome is crucial for overall well-being and can have a positive impact on various aspects of health.

Questions? We have the answers!
Why test your gut flora microbiome?
The human gut is a complex network that, through its movements, enzymes, proteins, immune cells, and microbiota, optimizes digestion, provides nutrients, and offers protection against pathogens. Disruptions in this system are often difficult to identify and can lead to digestive problems, fatigue, and general malaise. A thorough examination of the bacteria, fungi, and relevant antibodies, enzymes, and proteins in the gut can help uncover the causes of such problems.
With the mybody® gut flora test, you gain comprehensive insights into these areas to identify potential problems and specifically improve your gut health.
Who should take the gut flora microbiome test?
The mybody® gut flora test is aimed at:
- People with digestive problems: People who suffer from abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea or constipation.
- Health-conscious individuals: People who want to monitor and improve their gut health to promote their overall well-being.
- People with chronic illnesses: People with chronic health problems for whom an improved gut flora could help alleviate symptoms.
- Those interested in preventive health diagnostics: Individuals who wish to take proactive measures to prevent bowel and other health problems.
How does the mybody® gut flora test work?
1. Sample collection:
You take a stool sample at home using the enclosed kit. The instructions are simple and easy to understand.
2. Sample shipment:

Here's how to support your gut flora: Understanding the microbiome, promoting health
Your gut microbiome – the underestimated organ
Did you know that your gut microbiome contains more bacteria than your body has cells? These microorganisms influence not only your digestion, but also your immune system and energy levels. An imbalance – also known as dysbiosis – can lead to bloating, discomfort, and chronic fatigue. A targeted microbiome test can reveal the true state of your gut flora and what you can do to restore balance.
High-throughput sequencing: A glimpse into your microbiome world
Modern high-throughput sequencing allows for an unprecedentedly deep analysis of your gut microbiome. Billions of genetic markers are evaluated to precisely determine the composition of your gut bacteria. You'll learn how diverse your flora is, whether dysbiosis is present, and which bacteria should be strengthened. This technology forms the basis for targeted, personalized gut health.
Microbial diversity for a strong immune system
A diverse microbiome protects you from illness and strengthens your immune system. When only a few bacterial strains dominate, reduced microbial diversity can occur – often a sign of a weakened gut flora. You can specifically promote this diversity through proper nutrition, prebiotics , and, if necessary, probiotics . A microbiome test helps you better understand your bacterial profile and improve it in a targeted way.
Short-chain fatty acids – small but powerful
Short-chain fatty acids like butyrate are a byproduct of beneficial gut bacteria and have strong anti-inflammatory properties. They support the intestinal barrier, regulate your immune system, and boost the energy supply of intestinal cells. A balanced microbiome produces these substances in sufficient quantities. Your analysis will show you whether you are producing enough of them – and how you can stimulate production through diet or targeted supplements.
Recognizing and preventing leaky gut syndrome
Leaky gut syndrome describes an increased permeability of the intestinal wall. This allows bacteria and toxins to enter your bloodstream, leading to consequences such as inflammation, skin problems, or food intolerances. A microbiome analysis can help you recognize early signs of leaky gut and learn which measures can strengthen your intestinal lining – for example, through mucosaprotective bacteria like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii .
Probiotics & Prebiotics – Your Tools for Gut Balance
Probiotics are live bacteria that actively support your gut flora. Prebiotics are their food – dietary fiber that promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria. Both are essential for restoring balance to your microbiome. A microbiome analysis will tell you which probiotics and prebiotics are right for you. This allows you to specifically address dysbiosis and sustainably improve your well-being.
