Are you interested in strengthening your immune system and improving your digestion? You want to know why you feel tired, sleep badly or don't lose weight? We at BIOMES aim to help you. Everyone seems to be talking about the microbiome these days. Not without reason, since now we know that we are only as well off as our billions of bacteria inhabitants. With the help of our scientific self-testing kits, you can get to know your microbiome better. This will help you find out which adjustments you can make to better understand your health and feel perfectly fit and balanced. As a fast-growing biotech startup, we analyse and interpret the human microbiome in unprecedented detail. In doing so, we examine the DNA of the bacteria that live in and on the human body. It turns out that our bacterial composition is as individual as a fingerprint. Our scientists are experts in genomics – the next big thing in biotechnology. We combine state-of-the-art, high-throughput DNA sequencing with machine learning algorithms and the power of community to find significant patterns between DNA and microbiome profiles as well as lifestyle and health phenotypes. For our first BIOMES product INTEST.pro., a DNA-based gut microbiome analysis, send a tiny stool sample to our lab in Wildau, Germany. We extract the DNA, analyse it, and derive 100% evidence-based recommendations so you can take action and naturally restore the balance of your gut microbiome. INTEST.pro is available in the BIOMES online shop (www.biomes.world) or in selected pharmacies.
