This microbiome test shows
how gut bacteria impact your health. Did you know that gut bacteria can protect you from 5 diseases? They also synthesise eight vitamins and influence the immune system. Get personalised food recommendations to
help you balance your microbiome.
You’re never alone, thanks to your gut microbiome.
- Learn how microbes protect you from disease
- Understand how diet affects gut bacteria
- Optimise microbe’s vitamin synthesis
- Dietary fibre breakdown and butyrate synthesis
- Personalised food recommendations
- Probiotics and beneficial bacteria report
Discover the world of microbes
There are trillions of bacteria living on and inside our bodies. The DNA volume in our microbiomes far exceeds the human DNA in our bodies. Moreover, scientists consider the gut microbiome to be a separate organ.
Discover, improve, repeat
So, follow our recommendations and take the test every three months.
- Track your disease protection, microbiome diversity and dietary fibre ratings.
- Follow the evolution of your beneficial and probiotic bacteria levels.
- Get fresh food and probiotic supplement recommendations.
Microbiome test results
Since discovering bacterial communities living in symbiosis with human bodies, scientists have conducted over 20,000 research studies to understand this relationship. Based on these results, they developed a microbiome test. They have established links between microbiome protection from specific diseases, immunity, vitamin production, diet, and nutrition.
Frequently asked questions about the Microbiome test
Why should I take a microbiome test?
This Microbiome Test (Ohmygut® test) analyses the types of bacteria present and their proportion in the overall microbiome. It provides information about the various functions of your gut bacteria, like the extent to which they protect you against certain diseases and inflammation and what vitamins they synthesise. You will also get recommendations to improve and maintain the balance of your microbiome by adding specific foods to your diet.
What’s the difference between this Microbiome test and laboratory analysis?
Atlas Biomed uses advanced technology to analyse the DNA of your gut bacteria. Unlike conventional laboratory analysis, the Atlas Microbiome Test qualitatively determines the composition of bacteria and calculates the proportion of different types of bacteria in the microbiome. The 16S rRNA sequencing technology used for the Atlas Microbiome Test is more sensitive: it can detect bacteria that nobody can cultivate in Petri dishes (the method routinely employed by laboratories for stool sample analysis).
How do we know that bacteria affect our health?
Over the past decade, more than 20,000 scientific articles about the gut microbiome and its relationship with various health conditions have been publicly available. New research in this field is released monthly. We used this extensive scientific evidence to develop the interpretation system for this microbiome test.
This research has established that bacteria in the microbiome are not simply ‘good’ or ‘bad’ species. Instead, their participation in health or illness depends on their abundance in the ecosystem. How they relate to one another also matters. The recommendations provided in your account have been developed based on microbiome research by doctors and scientists.
How do you prepare for the test?
You don’t have to change your diet. Moreover, keep eating the way you usually do. It will allow us to accurately picture
your “normal” microbiome and recommend improving or maintaining it.
It would help if you only collected a stool sample without gastrointestinal symptoms. If you have been taking antibiotics or a short course of NSAIDs or have undergone surgery, wait at least three months before taking the Atlas Microbiome Test. If the medication taken is a part of your everyday life, you will provide a sample, as your microbiome is the most typical.
