Bacteriophages and Gut Health: How Viral Allies Boost Your Microbiome
Uncover how bacteriophages, your gut's viral allies, shape the microbiome, curb harmful bacteria, and boost digestion. Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that selectively infect specific bacterial hosts. By reducing problematic strains while sparing beneficial ones, they help balance the microbial ecosystem and support nutrient breakdown. This is the essence of bacteriophage gut health—a growing view on how the gut’s viral residents influence overall well‑being. To translate this science into practical health, InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System designed for both companies and consumers. It places phage-relevant insights in a broader context of gut health: a Gut Microbiome Health Index on a 0–100 scale (driven by an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia); a Bacteria Abundances readout for a top 40 bacteria list with comparisons to a healthy reference; Bacteria Functions categorized as positive or negative with pathway-level comparisons; and Target Group Analysis for goals like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, and Skin & Hair Health. You can learn more about how this system can power your products by exploring the microbiome test page: InnerBuddies microbiome test. Practical tips for nurturing bacteriophage gut health start with a diverse, fiber-rich diet and regular fermented foods, alongside prudent antibiotic use. The InnerBuddies platform translates data from 3‑day food diaries and stool samples into Personalized Nutrition Advice, showing how individual items influence your unique gut microbiome. It also offers Personalized Probiotics and Prebiotics Advice—tailored strain recommendations and fiber sources that support your phage–bacteria ecosystem. For ongoing guidance, consider the InnerBuddies Gut Health Membership for continuous insights and updates. Whether you’re a consumer seeking actionable microbiome insights or a business aiming to offer cutting-edge gut testing, InnerBuddies has you covered. All consumer options mirror the B2B capabilities, including a white-label Gut Health Operating System to power your own microbiome testing products.
