The world that lives inside you.
An extraordinary ecosystem of microorganisms lives in your gut. Every day brings it new stimuli — food, lifestyle, medicines and changes in your body. Get to know this world. See how it works and how you can look after it better.

It is a whole ecosystem.
Your microbiome is a huge community of microorganisms. Different bacteria have different properties and take part in different biological processes.
They do not act alone, though. They cooperate, compete and use what other microorganisms produce.
That is why a single bacterium never tells the whole story.
Your journey through the microbiome starts with what you eat.
What you eat does not end its journey when you swallow it. Your body uses what it can digest and absorb. Other components travel on — to where the microbiome’s work begins.
That is why diet is one of the important elements of the environment your microbiome lives in.
Each has a role. Together they make a whole world.
At GutLoop we tell the story of the microbiome through heroes. Each represents particular microorganisms and helps you understand their properties and the processes they may take part in. These are only six heroes. Your real microbiome is far more complex.
Guardian
Supports the gut environment and is linked to the production of beneficial metabolites.
Gardener
Associated with the gut mucus layer and metabolic processes.
Chef
Takes part in using dietary components and producing metabolites.
Mason
Takes part in fibre fermentation and the production of short-chain fatty acids.
Bodyguard
Different Lactobacillus species have different properties and may help maintain the gut environment.
Miller
Breaks down complex dietary components, including polysaccharides.
The most interesting things happen between them.
One microorganism can turn a dietary component into a compound that becomes a substrate for another. Others compete for space or nutrients. Some change the environment the next ones live in.
It is this network of relationships that makes a microbiome truly worth getting to know.

The microbiome is not isolated from the rest of the body.
The gut constantly interacts with the body. The microbiome is studied in the context of digestion, metabolism, immunity, the gut barrier and the gut–brain axis. That does not mean one bacterium is responsible for a particular aspect of health. Biology is far more complex.
What counts is the whole ecosystem, its environment and its relationships with the body.
This is not a world you only observe. You can influence its environment.
Your microbiome is not something fixed. Its composition and function can be influenced by diet, lifestyle, medicines and other factors. You cannot control a single bacterium like a switch.
You can, however, make decisions that change the environment the whole ecosystem lives in.

GutLoop turns complex data about your microbiome into information you can understand and use every day. The test result becomes the beginning of your profile — not the end of the story.
Because knowledge is worth most when you can do something with it.
It is not about thinking about bacteria every day. It is about making everyday decisions more easily thanks to a better understanding of your biology.
That is why one test is only the beginning.
Your microbiome is part of a dynamic ecosystem. As your lifestyle changes, so do the conditions it lives in. That is why GutLoop is designed as a process, not a one-off result.
You take the second test after a period of following GutLoop recommendations — we compare both results and adjust the next steps.
Data that comes back to you.

Your microbiome is not a static report.
It is a part of your biology you can get to know step by step.
You have met the world living inside you.
Now meet your own.
Your microbiome is more complex than any list of bacteria. GutLoop helps you see its composition, understand the relationships and turn data into everyday actions. Tested in Poland · 16S rRNA sequencing · GDPR-compliant data.
