Probiotics and the Microbiome: The Impact on Your Gut Health

Discover how probiotics shape your microbiome and boost gut health. Learn what to choose, how they work, and simple steps to support a healthier gut today. Central to this is understanding the probiotics impact on microbiome and how different strains interact with your unique gut ecosystem. Not all probiotics are the same; strain, dose, and duration matter, and your daily habits help determine who thrives in your gut. A practical plan combines evidence-based choices with fiber-rich foods and consistent routines to support long-term balance. Inside InnerBuddies, you’ll find a white-label Gut Health Operating System that companies can use to power their gut microbiome testing products. Our platform features the Gut Microbiome Health Index, a 0–100 score that signals overall gut health, built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. We present Bacteria abundances for the top 40 bacteria—covering both positive and negative players—and show how you compare against a healthy cohort. We also categorize bacterial metabolic functions into positive or negative groups, letting you see where you stand versus a healthy baseline on each function category. For more tailored insight, we offer Target Group analysis that dives into how the gut microbiome supports specific goals like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health. Personalized nutrition advice leverages data from three-day food diaries alongside stool samples, building a large database that maps how individual foods influence your gut microbiome. This foundation enables personalized nutrition guidance tailored to your unique microbiome profile. InnerBuddies also provides personalized probiotics and prebiotics advice, recommending strains and prebiotic strategies aligned with your objectives and your gut’s functional pathways. And you don’t have to be behind a brand to benefit. InnerBuddies offers direct consumer gut test solutions as well as B2B options.
