Unlocking Gut Microbiota Functions: How Your Microbes Shape Health


Unlock how your gut microbes shape digestion, immunity, mood, and metabolism. At the heart of this influence are gut microbiota functions—the collective metabolic and signaling activities performed by the trillions of bacteria living in your gut. These functions determine how efficiently you digest food, how well you fend off pathogens, and even how you feel day to day through gut-brain interactions. With science-backed steps, you can nurture your microbiome to support healthier digestion, immunity, mood, and metabolic health today. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that companies can use to power their gut microbiome testing products. It is a modular platform with a range of unique features designed around gut microbiota functions. The Gut Microbiome Health Index provides a 0-to-100 score of overall gut health, built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. Bacteria abundances present a top 40 list, showing how your profile compares against a healthy cohort and highlighting which microbial players may support or hinder your health. Bacteria functions are categorized and labeled as positive or negative, with pathway-by-pathway comparisons to the healthy cohort to illuminate where your microbiome is thriving or needs optimization. Target Group analysis dives into specific contexts—Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more—so you can see which functions matter most for you. And with personalized nutrition advice derived from your 3-day food diaries and stool data, plus personalized probiotic and prebiotic recommendations, InnerBuddies translates microbiome data into practical, everyday steps. This holistic approach extends to consumers directly, as InnerBuddies also offers gut test solutions that individuals can use without a business intermediary. For brands and health teams, the platform delivers scalable, science-backed insights into gut microbiota functions that customers can act on.
