Our science

We're on a mission to transform the gut health world with the most personalised approach.

We delve into your body's data like nothing else. The outcome is a personalised treatment plan specific to your body.

50,000+

We compare 50,000 profiled gut samples taken from two gold standard reference libraries, the Human Microbiome Project and the American Gut project and our own rapidly growing database.

30 - 40 trillion

The gut microbiome is home to roughly 30–40 trillion microbial cells. This figure is changing yearly as we discover more. Most of those microbial cells belong to only 3,000–5,000 gut-bacterial species.

150 - 200

The typical gut includes just 150–200 gut bacterial species drawn from that global pool of 3,000 - 5,000. Even closely related individuals share only a fraction of those species

Our testing

Method of testing

We analyse every sample with next-generation shotgun metagenomic sequencing because it unlocks the full story of your gut microbiome. Shotgun sequencing captures all DNA in the sample, telling us who’s there and what they can do.

Machine learning

Then, we take the raw sequencing reads (FASTQ files) and process it on our machine learning bioinformatics pipeline where it matches each microbe and gene against two gold-standard reference databases and converts those matches into clear health scores and personalised food tips specific to you.

Reference databases

Our machine learning platform compares your results against 50,000 profiled gut samples taken from two gold standard reference libraries, the Human Microbiome Project and the American Gut project and our own rapidly growing database.

Our pilot studies

Following a six-week personalised treatment plan, our patients report significant improvements in their symptoms and health.
