The Science
This provides a comprehensive view of not just the specific species and strains of bacteria, viruses and fungi in your gut but also the genes they carry.
This community of gut microorganisms is unique to you and is called the gut microbiome.
GoodBiome leverages cutting edge genomic sciences, global metagenomic datasets and machine learning to give you a snapshot of the state of your gut microbiome.
The human gut
Harbors trillions of microorganisms with millions of genes that are often referred to as our “forgotten organ”.
In fact, the genetic content of the gut microbiome vastly outnumbers the > 20,000 genes that we carry in our genomes.
The microbiome performs a range of functions including deriving energy and metabolites from food, producing vitamins and neurotransmitters, and training the immune system, that are beneficial to our bodies.
Correspondingly, dysfunction in this microbial organ is believed to play a role in various gastrointestinal, metabolic and immunological disorders.
In recent years, a growing body of science has highlighted the role that diet plays in shaping our gut microbiome.
The specific carbohydrates, proteins and fats we consume can also determine the microbial species that we harbour in our gut and the metabolites that they produce to impact our health.
At GoodBiome we have built the world’s largest database of microbiome-active foods based on mining scientific literature. We are customising and growing this database based on ongoing research collaborations with our academic partners.
The GoodBiome precision nutrition recommendations synthesise all of this information with dietary guidelines specific to your gender, age and BMI to help develop a customised nutrition plan in consultation with a certified dietitian.
Why Precision Nutrition?
Take control of your health with precision nutrition.
Our genetic makeup is unique and the community of gut bacteria we harbor is even more so. The interaction between our diets and who we are impacts our health and well-being in myriad ways. By leveraging the latest advances in genetic technologies we can now get the full picture of what our gut bacteria can do.
