Your at-home microbiome test
Your test gives you insight into…
Gut health
Your gut plays a central role in your immune system—around 70–80% of immune cells are located there. A healthy microbiome strengthens your immune defenses and helps ward off illnesses effectively.
Lose weight
The microbiome can influence your weight. Studies show that a balanced gut flora is associated with a healthy metabolism. An imbalance in the microbiome can lead to both weight gain and weight loss.
Irritable bowel syndrome
Some studies show that the microbiome of patients with irritable bowel syndrome is disrupted in both its composition and its functionality. This disruption ultimately affects the intestinal lining. Damage to the intestinal lining can trigger inflammatory processes in the body, which can lead, among other things, to changes in nerve activity.
Flatulence
The most obvious influence of the gut is on digestion. A healthy microbiome supports smooth digestion and helps prevent issues such as bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.

The gut microbiome
The gut microbiome refers to all the microorganisms that inhabit the human intestine, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes.
These tiny microbes live in a complex community that develops differently in each person. The composition of the microbiome is influenced by various factors such as diet, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition.
A balanced microbiome is essential for overall well-being and can have a positive impact on various aspects of health.
How does your gut microbiome affect your body?
The gut microbiome has far-reaching effects on your health. It influences not only your digestion and nutrient absorption, but also plays a central role in the immune system and the regulation of metabolism. A healthy microbiome can also positively affect your weight, mood, and even your skin health. By maintaining a balanced diet and caring for your microbiome, you therefore support your overall well-being and vitality.

Questions? We have the answers!
Why test your gut microbiome?
The human gut is a complex network that optimizes digestion, provides nutrients, and protects against pathogens through its movements, enzymes, proteins, immune cells, and microbiota. Disruptions in this system are often difficult to identify and can lead to digestive disorders, exhaustion, and general malaise. A thorough analysis 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 microbiome test?
The mybody® gut flora test is intended for:
- 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 conditions: People with chronic health problems for whom improved gut flora could help alleviate symptoms.
- Those interested in preventive health diagnostics: People who want to take proactive measures to prevent gut and other health problems.
How does the mybody® gut flora test work?
1. Sample collection:
You collect a stool sample at home using the included kit. The instructions are simple and easy to understand.
2. Sample shipment:
Send the sample to our laboratory in the provided shipping container. The transport is secure to ensure that your sample arrives safely.
3. Laboratory analysis:
In the laboratory, we analyze the sample using 16S rRNA sequencing, an advanced method for identifying the microbiota in your gut.
4. Data processing:
The data collected is evaluated using specialized algorithms to determine the diversity and presence of microbes in your gut.
5. Results report:
You receive a detailed report showing which microbes are present in your gut and how you can improve your gut health.
6. Data protection:
Your data is safe with us and treated confidentially.
This gives you precise insights into your gut microbiome and tips for improving your health.
What will I receive after completing the gut microbiome test?
After approximately 20–25 business days of analysis, you will receive a notification that your analysis is complete. Your analysis report will then be available as a PDF file for download in your personal customer portal.
If you wish, you can also order the completed analysis report as a booklet (book).

To ensure the highest quality and safety, our laboratory is certified according to ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems) and ISO 13485 (Medical Devices). It is the first laboratory in the microbiome field to hold both ISO certificates and undergo an annual audit by a renowned external institution.
There are a wide variety of methods for gut testing, ranging from simple rapid tests to advanced technologies. The choice of testing method significantly affects the accuracy and level of detail of the results. Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art DNA sequencing technologies to detect all bacteria in a stool sample while identifying more than 1,500 different bacterial species.
Our data-driven algorithms use scientific findings to identify links between gut bacteria and various aspects of health.
How to support your gut flora: Understand your microbiome, promote your health
Your gut microbiome—the underestimated organ
Did you know that your gut microbiome consists of 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. With a targeted microbiome test, you can find out how your gut flora is really doing and what you can do to restore its balance.
High-throughput sequencing: A look into your microbiome world
Modern high-throughput sequencing makes it possible to analyze your gut microbiome in unprecedented depth. Billions of genetic data points are evaluated to determine the composition of your gut bacteria precisely. You learn how diverse your flora is, whether dysbiosis is present, and which bacteria should be strengthened. This technology provides the foundation for targeted, personalized gut health.
Microbial diversity for a strong immune system
A diverse microbiome protects you from illness and strengthens your immune defenses. When only a few bacterial strains dominate, this can lead to reduced microbial diversity—often a sign of a weakened gut flora. With the right diet, prebiotics, and, if necessary, probiotics, you can specifically promote your diversity. 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 such as butyrate are a byproduct of beneficial gut bacteria and have strong anti-inflammatory effects. They support the gut barrier, regulate your immune system, and help supply energy to intestinal cells. A balanced microbiome produces these substances in sufficient quantities. Your analysis shows whether you produce enough of them—and how you can stimulate production through diet or targeted supplements.
Recognize and prevent leaky gut syndrome
Leaky gut syndrome describes increased permeability of the intestinal wall. As a result, bacteria and toxins can enter your bloodstream, potentially causing inflammation, skin problems, or food intolerances. A microbiome analysis can help you identify signs of leaky gut at an early stage and learn which measures can strengthen your intestinal lining again—for example, through mucosa-protective bacteria such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii.
Probiotics & Prebiotics – Your Tools for Gut Balance
Probiotics are living bacteria that actively support your gut flora. Prebiotics are their food source—that is, dietary fibers that promote the growth of beneficial microbes. Both are essential for restoring balance to your microbiome. Your microbiome analysis shows you which probiotics and prebiotics are right for you. This allows you to target dysbiosis and improve your well-being sustainably.
