Discover how gut microbes power digestion and strengthen immunity by focusing on probiotic functions—the activities that beneficial bacteria carry out to break down fiber, produce short-chain fatty acids, support the intestinal barrier, and modulate the immune system. Understanding probiotic functions helps you choose foods, supplements, and lifestyle habits that nurture a resilient gut. By looking at these functions, you can see not just which strains are “good,” but how their metabolic work translates into smoother digestion, better nutrient uptake, and a stronger immune response. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that partners can use to power their gut microbiome testing products. The platform highlights probiotic functions across multiple dimensions: a Gut Microbiome Health Index (0–100) grounded in an exclusive IP with EAFIT University in Colombia; Bacteria abundances for a top 40 bacteria set with comparisons to a healthy cohort; Bacteria functions categorized and labeled as positive or negative, showing how you measure up against the healthy baseline on each functional category; Target Group analysis that dives into how specific cohorts—Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more—align with relevant probiotic functions; plus personalized nutrition and probiotic/prebiotic advice. This integrated view turns complex microbial function data into actionable insights you can trust for improving probiotic functions in real life. Because probiotic functions are highly individualized, InnerBuddies delivers truly personalized guidance. The platform translates measured functions into practical steps: which probiotic strains to emphasize or avoid to boost desired metabolic pathways, what foods to prioritize to support fermentation and SCFA production, and how to time prebiotics to complement the gut’s functional needs. The personalized probiotic and prebiotic advice leverages a large database showing how specific foods impact the gut microbiome, delivering nutrition and supplementation plans tailored to your unique microbiome profile. And for convenience, InnerBuddies provides gut test solutions directly to consumers, with all B2B capabilities available directly to individuals as well. To explore how probiotic functions can power your digestion, immunity, and overall gut health, you can visit the InnerBuddies microbiome test product page at InnerBuddies microbiome test, consider ongoing support through a personalized plan with InnerBuddies gut health membership, or discover partnerships and white-label opportunities on the InnerBuddies B2B page.
