Everything about the Gut Flora Check
What advantages does this test offer me?
What advantages does this test offer me?
The gut flora – also known as the microbiome – consists of billions of microorganisms that play a crucial role in digestion, the immune system, metabolism, and overall well-being . A healthy microbiome contributes to nutrient absorption, vitamin production, and the defense against pathogens.
With the gut flora check , you receive a comprehensive analysis of your gut bacteria and can find out whether your gut flora is balanced or if there are imbalances that may cause discomfort.
More precise results thanks to Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)
While many providers like mybody-x use 16S rRNA sequencing , we rely on the significantly more accurate Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology.The difference:
- 16S rRNA sequencing: Analyzes only specific bacterial groups and provides a limited view of the microbiome.
- NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing): Captures all existing microorganisms in the gut and delivers a complete, high-resolution analysis – including rare and previously little-researched bacterial species.
By using NGS, you get a much more detailed picture of your gut flora than with conventional methods.
What does the gut flora check measure?
The test analyzes:
- The diversity and composition of gut bacteria.
- The ratio of "good" and "bad" bacteria.
- Potential imbalances (dysbiosis)that can lead to digestive issues or other health problems.
- Whether your microbiome could affect your mood, immune system, or skin health.
Why is this test important?
A healthy gut flora is crucial for:
- Digestion & Nutrient Absorption:Gut bacteria help break down food and absorb essential nutrients.
- Immune System:About 70% of our immune system resides in the gut. An imbalance can increase susceptibility to infections.
- Mental Health:The gut-brain axis concept shows that the microbiome influences our mood and cognitive functions.
- Skin Health:Imbalances in the gut microbiome are associated with skin issues like acne or eczema.
- Weight & Metabolism:The microbiome affects how efficiently our body processes calories and stores fat.
How does the test work?
The procedure is simple and discreet:
- You take a small stool sample using the provided test kit.
- The sample is securely packaged and sent to our certified laboratory.
- Within a few days, you will receive your detailed results digitally.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gut Flora Check
Frequently Asked Questions about Gut Flora Check
What is examined in the gut flora check?
The test analyzes the composition of your gut bacteria, their diversity, and the balance between beneficial and potentially harmful microorganisms.
What is the difference between NGS and 16S rRNA sequencing?
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) offers a significantly more comprehensive analysis than the conventional 16S rRNA sequencingused by many other providers. While 16S tests only identify certain bacterial groups, NGS allows for a complete sequencing of all microorganisms in the gut and provides more detailed insights into your microbiome.
Who is this test suitable for?
The test is ideal for anyone looking to optimize their gut health – especially in cases of digestive issues, immune weakness, or after taking antibiotics.
How does the sampling work?
The sampling is done easily and discreetly at home. The test kit contains all necessary materials and a detailed guide for safe execution.
How long does it take to receive my results?
After sending the sample, you will typically receive your lab results digitally within 2–3 weeks.
What insights does the test provide?
The test provides information about:
- The diversity of your gut flora – the more diverse, the better.
- The balance between "good" and "bad" bacteria.
- Potential dysbiosis (imbalances) that can cause digestive issues or other complaints.
- Individual dietary and lifestyle recommendations to promote a healthy microbiome.
What can I do if my microbiome is out of balance?
The results include personalized recommendations for nutrition, probiotics, and lifestyle adjustmentsto specifically support your microbiome.
