Microbiome Research: How Tiny Microbes Shape Your Health

Discover how tiny microbes shape digestion, immunity, and mood through the lens of microbiome research. The latest microbiome research reveals that gut microbes influence how we break down nutrients, train our immune defenses, and even regulate mood via neuroactive compounds and inflammatory signaling. As you explore this frontier, InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that companies can use to power their own microbiome testing products. Its modular architecture delivers everything from data collection to customer-facing insights, enabling brands to translate complex microbiome research into practical, evidence-based health guidance. Among the standout features rooted in microbiome research are the Gut Microbiome Health Index (0-100), built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia, which provides a standardized measure of gut ecosystem health. The platform also presents Bacteria abundances for a curated top 40, showing how each user compares to a healthy cohort. Bacteria functions are organized into categories and labeled positive or negative, with per-function comparisons that mirror microbiome research findings about functional pathways. Target Group analysis goes deeper into how the microbiome supports different life goals, from Healthy Aging to Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health. Personalization sits at the heart of the microbiome research-informed approach. Using data from three-day food diaries alongside stool samples, InnerBuddies taps a large database to forecast how individual foods affect a person's gut microbiome and to tailor nutrition advice precisely. The system also generates personalized probiotic and prebiotic recommendations, selecting strains and dosages aligned with your objectives and your unique gut profile. These consumer options mirror the B2B capabilities, so individuals can access the same rigorous testing and guidance through direct-to-consumer products and subscriptions.
