Shotgun Stool Sequencing: Decode Your Gut Microbiome for Health

Discover your gut microbiome with shotgun stool sequencing. This approach reads all microbial DNA in a stool sample, giving a comprehensive view of which microbes are present, which are missing, and how their metabolic activities affect digestion, immunity, and overall health. Shotgun sequencing stool data lets you move beyond surface-level markers to uncover imbalances and tailor practical steps you can take today to support better digestion and resilient health. At the heart of InnerBuddies’ offering is a white-label Gut Health Operating System that empowers companies to power their own gut microbiome testing products. The platform is modular and scalable, designed to deliver rich, clinical-grade insights at scale. It includes a Gut Microbiome Health Index (0-100) derived from an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia, giving a consistent gauge of gut health. You’ll also access bacteria abundances for a top 40 list with comparisons to a healthy cohort, plus a detailed map of bacterial functions categorized as positive or negative, so users can see how their functional pathways stack up. The system also provides Target Group analysis, enabling deepdives into how gut microbiome activity aligns with specific goals like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, among others. Results translate into practical steps you can act on. Personalized nutrition advice leverages three days of food diaries alongside stool data to predict how individual foods influence the gut microbiome, delivering tailored recommendations to optimize digestion and immunity. You’ll also receive personalized probiotic and prebiotic guidance, matching strains to your unique microbiome profile and objectives.
