How Microorganisms in Digestion Power Your Gut Health

Discover how microorganisms in digestion power your gut health and why understanding your microbiome matters for digestion. The gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that work together to break down food, synthesize essential vitamins, and modulate inflammation and immunity. These microorganisms in digestion influence everything from how you feel after meals to how efficiently nutrients are absorbed, making it possible to support better digestion with targeted, practical steps. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that companies can use to power their gut microbiome testing products. The platform centers on a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a score from 0 to 100 that signals overall gut health, built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. You’ll also see detailed Bacteria abundances, including a top 40 list that shows how you compare to a healthy cohort, and Bacteria functions that are categorized as positive or negative with clear comparisons to healthy benchmarks. With Target Group analysis, you get deep dives into how the microbiome supports specific needs such as Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more. To tailor recommendations, InnerBuddies integrates three-day food diaries with stool sample data to power personalized nutrition advice and personalized probiotics and prebiotics advice. The platform’s robust database tracks how individual foods impact your gut microbiome, delivering practical, evidence-based guidance tailored to your unique composition. InnerBuddies also provides direct-to-consumer gut test solutions, while all B2B partner options are also available directly to consumers through the same capabilities.

Practical steps to nourish the microorganisms in digestion include embracing a varied, high-fiber diet rich in diverse plant foods to fuel beneficial bacteria; incorporating prebiotic-rich items like onions, garlic, leeks, asparagus, and bananas; adding fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, or kimchi to introduce beneficial microbes; staying hydrated and moderating stress; and ensuring adequate sleep.
