An intestine test is a window into your gut, revealing which microbes thrive in your digestive tract and how they influence digestion, immunity, and metabolism. This page explains what your intestine test can uncover about your health, how the test is performed, and why those insights matter for everyday wellbeing. By understanding the signals from your gut, you can take targeted steps to support bowel health, energy, and resilience. How the intestine test works: most people collect a stool sample at home and send it to a lab for analysis. The data then feed into a modular Gut Health Operating System that turns complex microbial information into actionable results. The test features a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a score from 0 to 100 that reflects overall gut balance, based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. You’ll also see abundances for a top 40 bacteria panel, with direct comparisons to a healthy reference cohort, and a classification of bacterial metabolic functions as positive or negative to show how your gut aligns with health-promoting pathways. To add depth, there is Target Group analysis that delves into how your microbiome performs in areas like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and other relevant topics. Learn more about the test itself on the InnerBuddies microbiome test page. Why it matters: the intestine test translates complex data into concrete, personalized guidance. In addition to the health index and bacterial profiles, you receive personalized nutrition advice that leverages data from your 3-day food diaries in conjunction with stool results. A large database maps how individual foods influence your gut microbiome, enabling tailored dietary suggestions. You’ll also receive personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations designed to match your objectives and your unique gut composition.
