INTEST.pro is a self-test for taking a stool sample in a familiar environment, such as at home.
INTEST.pro is an innovative, DNA-based intestinal flora test. It not only identifies certain strains of bacteria (as previously known methods), but also determines and interprets almost the entire spectrum of intestinal bacteria. The analysis is based on a tiny stool sample that can be easily taken at home and sent to the laboratory. Already in a pin head-sized amount of stool there is enough microbial DNA, which maps the entire genome of the intestinal bacteria and gives the personal intestinal flora profile. Important: BIOMES does not analyze human, but microbial DNA (that of the intestinal bacteria).
The results of INTEST.pro provide information about the personal intestinal flora profile and individual recommendations for action to improve the intestinal flora. A nutritional plan that is tailored to the personal intestinal flora helps to implement the nutritional recommendations. Because only a balanced and diverse gut bacteria community can fulfill its tasks in the body and contribute to an intact immune system, mental strength and well-being.
Comprehensive analysis
The analysis provides information about:
- digestion
- Intactness of the intestinal mucosa
- Inflammation & constipation factors
- Immune system & vitamin synthesis
- Tendency to acquired lactose & fructose intolerance
- Calorie utilization and weight control
- Diversity of the intestinal bacteria
- Individual nutritional recommendations to improve the intestinal flora (including a nutritional plan)
- NOW NEW: Bacteria that affect sleep quality and cardiovascular
The evaluation not only contains the analysis results on the balance and nature of the intestinal flora, but also individual recommendations for improvement. The complex laboratory processes take about 2 to 4 weeks (after receipt of the sample). The results are available online in a specially secured, data-protected area of BIOMES (my.biomes.world). If you have any questions, BIOMES customer service is available by e-mail (kundenservice@biomes.world) or by telephone from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (+ 49 (0) 3375 585 62 40).
The analysis is suitable for people aged 15 and over. The BIOMES scientists are already developing an intestinal flora analysis that is especially suitable for children and should be available from 2020.
Why should I take the test?
The analysis is suitable if you:
- Have digestive problems
- Assume that your immune system is weak
- Want to improve your fitness
- Need nutritional tips that are specific to your gut
- Want to learn to understand your body better
- do not sleep well and often feel uncomfortable.
The test introduces you to your intestinal bacteria and their positive and negative effects in your intestine. Since the gut is responsible for almost 80% of all immune reactions in your body and also has a direct connection to your brain, it is important for your health and well-being that your gut is in balance.
BIOMES is also the first provider of nutrition plans that are tailored to the needs of your gut. This is how the plan is completely tailored to you:
- your intestinal flora type from the INTEST.pro result
- Your goal: lose weight, build muscle or strengthen the immune system
- your level of movement in leisure and work
- your nutritional preference (eater, vegetarian, vegan)
Difference to common analysis methods / analyzes by the doctor
The difference to many previously known analyzes lies in the analysis method. Common laboratory analyzes (e.g. prescribed by a doctor) require a large amount of stool, which is spread on a nutrient medium. After a few days, the growth of the bacteria contained is counted and from this conclusions can be drawn about their colonization in the intestine. With this so-called cultivation method, however, countless bacteria die (e.g. because they cannot live under oxygen) when the sample is transported to the laboratory, while the ratio of the others changes significantly. Only about 15-20% of the intestinal bacteria can be analyzed using this conventional method.
BIOMES basically works differently: Bacteria also have DNA and this is contained in the smallest amounts of stool. The INTEST.pro sample container therefore contains a DNA-stabilizing solution that preserves the bacteria for months at the time of removal. In the laboratory, BIOMES finally obtains a precise picture of almost all known bacteria using the latest methods of DNA sequencing (so-called next-generation sequencing). This image is interpreted using the BIOMES knowledge database, which contains the results of over 7,000 scientific studies on the intestinal flora. In this way, each customer receives an individual evaluation that is understandably prepared and does not require any prior knowledge.
INTEST.pro thus identifies almost 100% of all known intestinal bacteria.
What is included in the INTEST.pro package?
The package contains everything you need for easy sampling:
- Sterile cotton swab
- Sample vessel
- Stamped return envelope
- manual
A pin-sized amount of stool is sufficient for the complete analysis of the intestinal flora. This is quickly and easily dabbed off the toilet paper using the cotton swab provided and placed in the sample container. The sample is sent to BIOMES with the enclosed prepaid envelope.
