Microorganisms: The Tiny World That Powers Life on Earth


Microorganisms power life on Earth—from digestion to climate, medicine to ecosystems. The tiny world of bacteria, fungi, algae, and more operates in intricate networks that sustain soils, oceans, and our own bodies. By studying these microorganisms, we learn how digestion enzymes, fermentation, and microbial metabolism turn food into energy, defend against invaders, and shape weather and nutrient cycles. This invisible biosphere matters to every one of us, guiding healthier decisions and a healthier planet. At the intersection of science and practical health, InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that companies can use to power their gut microbiome testing products. This modular platform includes a Gut Microbiome Health Index—a score from 0 to 100 that reflects the overall vitality of your gut microbiome, built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. It also surfaces Bacteria abundances for a top 40 set, showing how your results compare against a healthy cohort, and Bacteria functions that categorize metabolic roles as positive or negative, with cohort comparisons for each functional category. For deeper insights, Target Group analysis unpacks how microbiome data align with specific goals like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, or Skin & Hair Health. And because actions matter, the system delivers Personalized nutrition advice based on 3-day food diaries and stool data, plus Personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations tailored to your unique microbiome. For those curious about consumer options, you can explore practical paths with the InnerBuddies microbiome test or consider partnering with InnerBuddies as a collaborator. InnerBuddies supports both B2B partners and direct-to-consumer experiences.
