Microbiome Byproducts: The Gut's Hidden Signals Shaping Your Health

Uncover how gut microbiome byproducts secretly shape your health—from digestion to mood. Your gut microbes produce byproducts that influence digestion, nutrient absorption, energy, mood, and immune signaling via the gut-brain axis. By understanding these microbiome byproducts, you can identify practical steps to boost well-being today. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that brands can use to power their own microbiome testing products and help people read these signals. Explore how this works with the InnerBuddies microbiome test. Within the platform, key metrics turn complex biology into actionable insights. The Gut Microbiome Health Index scores gut wellness on a 0–100 scale, backed by an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. The system also shows your top 40 bacterial abundances relative to a healthy cohort, and it labels each bacterial function as positive or negative, so you can see where you stand on each metabolic pathway. It also provides Target Group analysis for topics like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, and it offers personalized nutrition advice as well as tailored probiotic and prebiotic recommendations based on your unique microbiome profile. These microbiome byproducts are the signals you learn to influence. See how these insights come to life in a real product at the InnerBuddies microbiome test. Because microbiome byproducts respond to daily choices, your actions matter. The platform marries data from 3-day food diaries with stool samples to map how individual foods influence the production of beneficial versus harmful byproducts, giving you a practical, personalized plan. Use Target Group analyses to tailor strategies for your goals—whether you’re pursuing Healthy Aging, boosting endurance or power in sport, or supporting skin and mood—and learn which functional pathways to prioritize. With the personalized nutrition and probiotic/prebiotic recommendations, you get concrete steps you can start today. For ongoing, structured guidance, consider the InnerBuddies Gut Health Membership.
