Honey has more to offer than sweetness. When we think about honey and gut flora, we’re looking at a relationship where honey’s natural sugars and prebiotic components help feed and nurture beneficial microbes in the gut. Oligosaccharides and other complex carbohydrates in honey can act as fuel for good bacteria, supporting their growth and resilience. Add the antioxidant-rich polyphenols and other bioactive compounds, and honey can contribute to a balanced gut environment when enjoyed as part of a fiber-rich, varied diet. As with any sugar-containing food, moderation is key to a gut-friendly pattern.
To turn that science into practical benefits, InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that companies can use to power their gut microbiome testing products, with consumer access as well. The system centers on a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a 0–100 score that reflects overall gut health, built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. It also tracks Bacteria abundances with a top-40 list of both positive and negative players, and it classifies Bacteria functions into positive and negative categories, showing how you compare against a healthy cohort. For deeper insights, Target Group analysis dives into how the microbiome scores on functional pathways relevant to Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more. The platform then translates findings into personalized nutrition advice based on three-day food diaries and stool samples, plus personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations. InnerBuddies also provides gut test solutions directly to consumers, not just to B2B partners. Learn more at the InnerBuddies product page,

For easy, tasty ways to boost your microbiome, try incorporating honey into daily meals and snacks. Drizzle a little honey over yogurt or oats, stir it into tea, blend it into smoothies, or whisk it into homemade salad dressings and marinades. Pair honey with fiber-rich foods like berries, oats, legumes, and leafy greens to amplify its gut-friendly effects. If you’re curious how a specific honey habit shifts your gut flora over time, InnerBuddies’ data-driven approach uses your three-day diaries and stool data to tailor guidance—and you can access that support through the consumer solutions linked above.
