How it works

We are an Austrian, medical-technical start-up, which tries to give all people easy access to the most modern gut microbiome analysis (= intestinal flora)….and this directly from home!
In order to conduct the analysis in a scientifically-based manner, we work closely together with renowned European universities. The analysis report is always up to date with the latest scientific findings and is regularly checked and improved by experts.

As a result you receive a detailed gut microbiome analysis based on the latest scientific findings:

Easy and understandable presentation of the results via myBioma App: With the free myBioma mobile App, you get regular status updates on where your sample is, your complete report is available directly on your smartphone.
Nutrition and lifestyle recommendations: In your report you will receive scientifically based recommendations to improve your microbiome health in a sustainable way!
Highest quality standards: myBioma is worldwide the first microbiome company to be double ISO certified (according ISO 13485 and ISO 9001). This is your guarantee for services of the highest quality!
myBioma Analysis Platform: Contains more than 800 important associations between gut bacteria and diseases and more than 3500 scientific publications on specific intestinal issues, as well as solid gut microbiome data from Central Europe.
Take advantage of our network of doctors & nutritionists: If you would like a personal consultation, we will gladly recommend a suitable person from the myBioma network! Find out more here. Find your therapist
Data protection: We keep our mouth shut! Your personal data is stored in a high-security computer centre directly in Vienna, absolute discretion is guaranteed!

That’s true. However, the analysis at your GP is usually based on stool cultures. Such cultures are one of the oldest analysis methods (older than 200 years) and scientifically insignificant inaccurate in the qualitative and quantitative detection of different bacteria. Such tests cannot provide any information about the balance or the overall condition of the gut microbiome.

On the other hand, myBioma can detect more than 1000 different types of bacteria using Next-Generation-DNA-Sequencing and also gives information about the functions of bacteria. Due to the complexity of oft he method, the analysis is very cost-intensive.

The analysis is based on Next-Generation-DNA-Sequencing. This is the most modern method for DNA determination. We use this method to analyse the DNA of your bacteria. This tells us which bacteria are in your stool sample, how much of it and also how well they metabolize, for example: sugar.

Immediately after your order, we will send the kit to your home. After taking the stool sample, you drop the envelope with the tube into the next mailbox. As soon as it arrives at ours we extract the DNA and prepare the sample for sequencing. Afterwards the sample has to be processed by us using bioinformatics, which will provide you with a clear and detailed report.

Our aim is to constantly reduce the time needed for analysis. However, because the analysis is so time-consuming and complex, you should allow 4-6 weeks until you receive your results.

Both options make sense! A gut microbiome analysis is a snapshot and therefore can tell you a lot about the current status of your intestinal health and general well-being. An unhealthy lifestyle and diet can lead to intestinal complaints in the long term.
An analysis of the gut microbiome, if you have complaints, is therefore definitely useful. Even if you have no symptoms, a well-founded gut microbiome analysis can help you to explore and optimise your intestinal health.
The intestinal microbiome changes every few months, so a follow-up test is advisable to identify changes.
