The Gut Microbiome

Major research and technological advances indicate that the gut microbiome plays an important role in our health, well-being and resistance to disorders in the gut and the body in general.

Most microorganisms are not dangerous, quite the opposite. In fact, there are more microbes living in us than our own body has cells. These microbes are bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi and various single-celled organisms. They live in the digestive system, and their functions and composition are crucial for the body and the state of health.

with a microbiome test you gain knowledge and understanding of which beneficial and non-beneficial bacteria are found in your gut. You will also be able to compare your bacteria level with relevant reference groups and see our unique visualization of your gut microbiome.

How to make microbiome analysis

Stool sample

Stool sample

To analyze the gut microbiome, we need a stool sample. This sample is taken with our hygienic test kit and we need 1-2 grams equivalent to the size of a pea.

Sequencing

Sequencing

The biological material is converted into data via a method called sequencing. We use a very advanced analysis called Shotgun metagenome sequencing.

Personal report

Personal report

We analyze the data and create a personal report on the state of the microbiome and optimizations. The report is interactive and accessible via your personal profile at my.unseenbio.com.

One stool sample generates more than 1 GB of complex data
