Gut Testing Coverage: What's Included and Why It Matters

Discovering what gut testing coverage includes helps you understand how a test translates into real digestive and overall health insights. When you evaluate gut testing coverage, you’re looking at not just which microbes show up, but how they function, how they compare to healthy benchmarks, and how those signals relate to your daily digestion, energy, and skin or immune health. A clear picture of coverage also helps you decide which tests fit your goals, whether you’re addressing persistent bloating, irregularity, or just optimizing gut wellness over time. InnerBuddies offers a robust, modular approach to gut testing coverage through a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers partner products and consumer tests. A cornerstone is the Gut Microbiome Health Index, a 0–100 score that reflects overall gut health and is built on a unique IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. The platform also presents Bacteria Abundances for a top-40 set, highlighting how your results stack up against a healthy cohort for both beneficial and potentially problematic microbes. In addition, Bacteria Functions are categorized and labeled as positive or negative, with direct comparisons to healthy benchmarks so you can see which pathways might be driving symptoms or opportunities for improvement. If you want to see these capabilities in action, explore the InnerBuddies microbiome test page. Target Group analysis is another powerful facet of gut testing coverage, offering deep dives into how the microbiome and its functional pathways relate to specific contexts like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health. This helps tailor actions to your unique goals. The platform also delivers Personalized Nutrition Advice, linking 3-day food diaries with stool data to map how individual foods influence your gut microbiome, and Personalized Probiotics and Prebiotics Advice that identifies strains and formulations aligned with your objectives and your unique composition. For ongoing access and guidance, many users also opt into the gut health membership that accompanies actionable insights with continuous support. Whether you’re shopping directly as a consumer or implementing a B2B solution, InnerBuddies covers your needs with flexible gut testing coverage. You can choose consumer-facing testing or partner with us to deploy the white-label system in your own brand, unlocking the same depth of metrics and personalization.
