Microbiota Research: Unlocking Health Secrets of the Gut Microbiome


Unlock the secrets of the gut microbiome. Dive into cutting-edge microbiota research and practical tips to boost health, digestion, and immunity today. This rapidly evolving field is shedding light on how trillions of microbes shape metabolism, inflammation, and resilience, and it’s increasingly translating into everyday strategies you can use to support a balanced gut. By staying plugged into microbiota research, you can make informed choices about nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation that align with your unique biology.

At the heart of our approach is InnerBuddies, a white-label Gut Health Operating System designed to power robust microbiome testing programs for brands and health partners. The platform is modular and scalable, featuring a Gut Microbiome Health Index (0-100) derived from an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. It also presents Bacteria abundances for a top 40 list, showing how your numbers compare against a healthy cohort. Bacteria functions are categorized and labeled as positive or negative, with clear benchmarks against that healthy reference. We also offer Target Group analysis for specific audiences—Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more—so insights are tailored to real-world goals. For partner opportunities, see our B2B page.

Beyond measurement, InnerBuddies translates data into personalized guidance. Our nutrition advice leverages data from 3-day food diaries and stool samples to map how individual foods influence your gut microbiome, supported by a large, continually updated database. This enables tailored recommendations that fit your unique microbiome composition. The system also provides personalized probiotics and prebiotics guidance—select strains and formulations aligned with your objectives and your current gut profile.
