How does the intestinal test INTEST.pro work?
Using the cotton swab included in the INTEST.pro kit, remove a small amount of stool and stir it into the enclosed sample container with a DNA-stabilizing solution. The filled sample container should then be sent, using the enclosed envelope, to the BIOMES laboratories for evaluation.
How does BIOMES analyze your intestinal flora?
1High-Throughput Sequencing
Once the sample arrives in the BIOMES laboratory, it will be subjected to a quality check with the aid of laboratory processes developed in-house. The microbial DNA is then processed and subsequently analyzed using state-of-the-art High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) methods.
2Analysis pipeline
The DNA sequences determined are tested for quality in our proprietary BIOMES software pipeline and then compared with all known microbial genomes to generate a customized microbiota profile.
3Mikrobiota profile
This profile is in turn examined with a proprietary knowledge database for various physiological characteristics including digestion, vitamin synthesis, food intolerances, body weight, calorie utilization, etc.
How will you get your results?
Your results will be presented professionally and in an easily understandable manner through an online dashboard (my.BIOMES.world). You can find information about the weak points of your intestinal flora and individual recommendations to improve your well-being here.
The intestinal flora analysis INTEST.pro from BIOMES provides information on the following aspects, among others:
Vitamin synthesis
Digestion
Propensity for adverse food reactions
Strength of the immune system
Calorie utilization
Balance of intestinal bacteria
What are the BIOMES results based on?
Your results will be compared to and interpreted with the help of our BIOMES knowledge database: More than 7,000 scientific and clinical studies form the basis of the interpretation. For many years, BIOMES scientists have evaluated and tested all microbiome studies worldwide and only valid results have been incorporated into the BIOMES database.
Over 20,000 data sets are used to personalize your results: Because general reference values are the same for all people, the BIOMES community compares each data set with a matching subgroup that is healthy. That therefore results in an intestinal flora profile as unique as your fingerprint.
