Self-test for at home – easy, practical, thorough

Take the INTEST.pro intestinal test and find out your personal intestinal flora profile with customised information on nutrition and things you should do. Because the good news is: You can change the composition of your intestinal bacteria. A one-week nutrition plan tailored to you makes it easier to take your first steps towards a healthier life.

How to take the test

---

A tiny stool sample (pinpoint-sized) is enough to perform the stool test: discreetly at home, clean and simply dabbed off a piece of toilet paper.

Result

---

Comprehensive analysis of the intestinal flora with customised information on nutrition and things you should do. An expert customer service team is available to answer any questions.

How

---

The test is based on the analysis of the intestinal bacteria DNA, which is why, thanks to INTEST.pro, it is now possible to analyse the entire intestinal microbiota for the first time. In comparison, conventional methods (e.g. those used in general practices) analyse only around 15-20% of the intestinal bacteria. Important: We analyse microbial DNA (that of the intestinal bacteria), not human DNA.

For whom

---

The stool test is suitable for analysing weak points in the intestine, in order to figure out various complaints such as digestion problems or fatigue, and to optimally adjust the patient’s diet to suit their intestines.

Quality

---

The stool sample is analysed in the BIOMES laboratory near Berlin by our experts, who are leaders in the field of the complex biotechnological method called “Next-Generation Sequencing”.

Measuring success

---

Changing the composition of your intestinal bacteria can take up to three months. Therefore, we recommend that you implement your recommendations for about three months and then use your second INTEST.pro intestinal test to find out which areas you have already been able to change and where you can continue.

Data protection

---

The data is processed in encrypted form and will not be passed on to third parties. Storage is based on the highest security standards (GDPR-compliant).

INTEST.proWhy should I take the test?

This analysis is suitable if you:

Your INTEST.pro package contains everything you need to take your sample: A sterile cotton swab, a small sample container, a stamped return envelope and instructions.

BundleIncluded in the package price: Initial measurement plus success measurement

With the INTEST.pro intestinal flora test, you first find out what exactly you are lacking so that you can then implement your individual recommendations. With your INTEST.pro follow-up test, you will find out in which areas you have already been able to optimise your intestinal flora and where there is a need for further action, e.g. through foods that are good for your intestines.

This is how your order works:

1. First you will receive a package with your two INTEST.pro intestinal tests.
2. At home, you first carry out the first INTEST.pro test, send in your sample and receive your result about 2 to 4 weeks later. You will find recommendations for action and nutrition that match your weak points.
3. We recommend that you implement the recommendations tailored to your bowel for about three months.
4. After three months, carry out the second INTEST.pro test to convince yourself of the improvements in your intestinal flora.

We hope you enjoy exploring the exciting world of your intestinal bacteria!
