InnerBuddies Expands Its Gut Health Operating System with New Longevity & Healthy Aging Module

Venlo, Netherlands Oct 6, 2025 - InnerBuddies (www.innerbuddies.com), the Maastricht University spin-off specializing in white-label microbiome testing and personalized nutrition, today announced the launch of its Longevity & Healthy Aging module within the InnerBuddies Gut Health Operating System (GHOS). This new solution translates the latest scientific insights on the gut microbiome and aging into actionable recommendations for consumers, healthcare providers, and wellness partners worldwide.

Addressing the Global Longevity Challenge

Healthy aging is a central theme in healthcare and wellness. With populations worldwide living longer, the focus is shifting from lifespan to healthspan—the years lived in good health. Recent research shows the gut microbiome plays a critical role in regulating aging pathways, inflammation, immune resilience, and metabolic health.

The InnerBuddies Longevity & Healthy Aging module builds on these insights by linking specific bacterial functions and metabolic pathways to healthy aging mechanisms such as:

• SCFA production (butyrate, acetate, propionate) supporting gut barrier integrity and anti-inflammatory balance

• Polyphenol metabolism leading to metabolites like Urolithin A, linked to mitochondrial health
