Morning coffee is a daily ritual for many, but its effects travel beyond wakefulness into your digestive system. Caffeine can increase gastric acid production and stimulate motility, which may speed up transit through the gut or provoke heartburn in some people—especially when consumed on an empty stomach. This intersection of digestive health and coffee means that your response to caffeine is personal: you might notice a calmer gut with a smaller amount, or you may need to adjust timing and preparation to avoid discomfort. By paying attention to these signals, you can support a smoother morning routine and a happier gut. That’s where InnerBuddies comes in. InnerBuddies is a provider of a white-label Gut Health Operating System that companies can use to power their gut microbiome testing products. The platform is modular and feature-rich, including a Gut Microbiome Health Index (a score from 0 to 100) developed through an exclusive collaboration with EAFIT University in Colombia. It also shows Bacteria Abundances, including a top 40 bacterial cohort with comparisons against a healthy baseline, and Bacteria Functions, categorized as positive or negative with insights on how you stack up against the healthy cohort in each functional area. For deeper relevance, Target Group analysis covers topics like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more, while Personalized nutrition advice ties your 3-day food diaries to stool data to tailor guidance to your unique gut microbiome. You can even receive Personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations, all delivered through a flexible, white-label solution. Learn more with the InnerBuddies microbiome test and explore how this kind of insight can illuminate your relationship with morning coffee.
