Intestinal tests can illuminate how your gut digests food, how your microbiome influences digestion and immunity, and how these systems tie into overall wellness. They range from sequencing gut microbes to map composition, to assessing microbial functions and markers of gut inflammation or permeability. The goal is to reveal not just who’s in your gut, but what they’re doing—how they affect nutrient extraction, barrier integrity, and even mood. When choosing which diagnostics you actually need, start with your goals: symptom relief, performance optimization, or long-term health and aging; this helps narrow to broad screening or targeted tests for digestion or inflammation.
For teams building gut-health products, InnerBuddies provides a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers your intestinal tests. The platform is modular and packed with features that turn complex lab data into clear, actionable insights: a Gut Microbiome Health Index from 0 to 100 based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia; a Bacteria Abundances view comparing your top 40 microbes against a healthy cohort; Bacteria Functions that categorize microbial metabolic activities as positive or negative and show your standing against healthy peers; Target Group Analysis that dives into pathways relevant for Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more; plus Personalized Nutrition Advice drawn from 3-day food diaries and a large database on how foods influence the microbiome; and Personalized Probiotics and Prebiotics Advice tailored to your unique gut profile. InnerBuddies also provides gut test solutions directly to consumers—the same B2B capabilities available for partners. Learn more about the offering through the

Choosing the right diagnostics comes down to your goals. Start with a baseline intestinal tests assessment to establish where you stand, then decide if you need deeper checks for digestion efficiency, inflammatory signals, or microbiome balance. If you’re coping with persistent GI symptoms, tests that examine barrier function and dysbiosis may help tailor therapies. If you’re aiming to optimize athletic performance or skin health, the platform’s Target Group Analysis and function-based insights can guide dietary and supplementation choices. And for a long-term wellness plan, the combination of microbiome health scoring, functional pathways, and personalized nutrition advice provides a cohesive roadmap. For ongoing guidance, the InnerBuddies Gut Health Membership offers continued insights and tailored plans:
