MY MICROBIOME

70% of your immune system is in the intestine

About 70% of your immune system is found in the intestine. The microorganisms there are crucial for the defense against pathogens and the regulation of the immune response. A healthy microbiome strengthens your defenses and protects against inflammation, so taking care of your intestinal flora is essential for a strong immune system.

Why is a healthy intestinal microbiome important?

Your intestinal microbiome influences the health of your skin

Your intestinal microbiome has a direct impact on the health of your skin. A balanced microbiome supports the skin barrier and can reduce inflammation and skin diseases such as acne or eczema. Through a healthy diet, you can strengthen your microbiome and, therefore, improve the appearance and vitality of your skin.

Your Microbiota and impact on intestinal health

The balance of the intestinal microbiota is essential for digestive and general health. An imbalance in the composition of intestinal bacteria can be related to various conditions, such as Leaky Gut (permeable intestine), SIBO (bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine), gluten sensitivity and even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

• Leaky Gut: An imbalance in the microbiota can compromise the intestinal barrier, allowing the passage of toxins and triggering chronic inflammation.

• SIBO: Excessive growth of bacteria in the small intestine can cause bloating, gas and malabsorption of nutrients.

• Sensibilidad al gluten: The microbiota plays a key role in the digestion of gluten and in the immune response, being able to influence the appearance of digestive and systemic symptoms.

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Alterations in the microbiota can contribute to inflammation and deregulation of the digestive system, causing abdominal pain, changes in intestinal transit and general malaise.

Your well-being weight and intestinal balance

Your intestinal microbiome plays a key role in metabolism, influencing the way the body obtains energy from food. Research has identified that some types of microorganisms are associated with a healthy weight, while others could favor the accumulation of fat and increase the risk of overweight.

90% of the happiness hormone SEROTONIN is produced in the intestine

About 90% of serotonin, the so-called happiness hormone, is produced in the intestine. It not only affects your mood, but also digestion and sleep. Therefore, a healthy intestinal microbiome is crucial for your emotional well-being.

Innovación y tecnología

Mientras que otros métodos de análisis como el cultivo, pruebas bioquímica o PCR específicas ofrecen una información sesgada sobre la composición de la microbiota o de baja resolución, nuestro test se basa en un protocolo robusto de identificación bacteriana mediante el estudio de las secuencias de ADN por PCR y secuenciación masiva de nueva generación, identificando y cuantificando la región V3-V4 del gen ribosomal 16S.

Se trata de un análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo, permitiendo conocer los nombres y cantidades relativas de los microorganismos que albergan el tracto gastrointestinal.

Gracias a la cantidad de datos acumulados y considerando miles de muestras actualmente disponibles, se dispone de una base de datos propia y altamente curada, que permite clasificar cada muestra en distintos perfiles o comunidades de microbiota, asociándolos a riesgo o protección frente a patologías como algunos tipos de cáncer, digestivas, autoinmunes o diabetes.
