Decode microbiome data interpretation to unlock actionable insights for gut health. When you translate complex sequencing results into clear signals, you can identify the key drivers behind digestion—whether it’s an overrepresented or underrepresented bacterium, a shift in metabolic output, or a disruption in functional pathways.

At the core of this approach is InnerBuddies’ white-label Gut Health Operating System, a modular platform that companies can use to power their gut microbiome testing products and deliver consistent, science-backed insights to customers.

Learn more about our offerings on the product side at InnerBuddies microbiome test. Within the InnerBuddies system, the microbiome data interpretation is enriched by several distinctive features. The Gut Microbiome Health Index provides a concise score between 0 and 100 that signals gut health at a glance, backed by an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. Users can also see their standing against a curated top 40 list of bacteria—showing how their abundances compare to a healthy cohort for both positive and negative taxa. Beyond just who is present, the platform categorizes bacterial metabolic functions and labels each function as positive or negative, enabling a nuanced comparison to healthy norms across functional pathways. This integrated view supports targeted actions, from dietary tweaks to specific probiotic goals, backed by clear, interpretable microbiome data interpretation. For deeper segmentation, Target Group analysis dives into how a person scores on functional pathways relevant to groups like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, offering relevant, practical context for your daily choices. Take the next steps with personalized, data-driven guidance that translates microbiome data interpretation into tangible actions. The system equips you with personalized nutrition advice by correlating three-day food diaries with stool-derived signals, leveraging a large database that maps how individual food items affect your gut microbiome. This means you receive a tailored plan that highlights which foods to favor or limit to nudge your Gut Microbiome Health Index in a positive direction and to reinforce desirable functional pathways. In parallel, you’ll get personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations that align with your objectives and your unique microbial composition, so you’re not just following general trends—you’re acting on your body’s real signals today.
