A benefit as individual as your microbiome.
High-resolution microbiome analysis as a personal health benefit, as an employer contribution or as a special end-of-year gift. Your company makes the analysis possible. The results belong to your employees alone.
Sample illustrations from the report
More than a wellbeing perk: a benefit with substance
Microbiome 360° gives your employees personal insight into their own microbiome: scientifically analysed, explained in plain language and visible to them alone.
An offer employees actually use
Personal insight into their own microbiome, scientifically analysed and explained in plain language. For companies that want to offer their employees more than the usual wellbeing perks. All year round, fully covered as a benefit or with an employer contribution.
Give your team something they are still talking about in spring
The wine is drunk and the hamper forgotten by January. Microbiome 360° is a gift about the person who opens it, and unwrapping it is only the start: the personal report makes it interesting a second time in the new year.
For delivery before Christmas, please order by 8 December 2026, either test kits to your company address or voucher codes to send out digitally.
Ask about the Christmas offer →Shotgun metagenomic sequencing reads the DNA of the entire microbiome and identifies microorganisms down to species level, not just broad groups.
Every report is based on that person's own microbiome, placed against a healthy reference population.
Sample collection, laboratory analysis, personal report: a benefit that works over weeks, not only on the day it is handed over.
The analysis is carried out in Germany, certified to ISO 9001:2015.
A personal report that explains instead of only measuring
All results appear in an interactive online report and are available as a PDF download, including the raw data in FASTQ format and a complete taxonomic table of every microorganism detected: bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Relative abundance of selected microorganisms in percent, with the median of the healthy reference population beside it.
Scale of 0 to 100 against the healthy reference population. Lower is better.
P = percentile against the healthy reference population. Every figure shown comes from the freely accessible demo report.
This is what your employees receive
Four extracts from the demo report, from the overview to the personal action plan. Every value with its reference range, its interpretation and the next step.
The key figures on one page
The report opens with the core figures: the number of species identified, alpha diversity, biological microbiome age and the gut health score, each placed against our healthy reference population.
Every figure is explained in a few sentences: what it measures, where your own value sits and what that means.
What the microbiome can do: five panels
Beyond composition alone, the report shows which functions the microbiome can perform: butyrate support, mucin degradation, gas production, inflammatory pressure and support for sleep and the circadian rhythm.
Each panel gives the value against the healthy reference on a traffic-light scale, an interpretation in one sentence and the organisms driving the value.
Relevant microorganisms, compared with a healthy reference population
Shotgun sequencing captures the entire DNA of the sample and tells individual species apart, not just broad bacterial families. The report sorts the relevant microorganisms into seven ecological groups: from fibre fermenters through mucus-layer dwellers and bifidobacteria to opportunistic organisms and gut yeasts.
For every organism: relative abundance, percentile against the healthy reference and a plain-language interpretation of what that value means for that particular organism.
One of the most abundant bacteria in the healthy colon; ferments fibre into butyrate and releases anti-inflammatory molecules.
A major butyrate producer whose abundance tracks fibre intake closely.
Acidifies the colon and feeds butyrate producers. The figure most studies refer to.
Lives in the mucus layer and prompts the gut lining to renew itself; very low and very high values are both worth noting.
A specialised mucin degrader; raised values point specifically to increased mucus turnover.
From findings to the next step
At the end of the report, a personal action plan sums up what follows from the results: ordered by priority, with concrete diet and lifestyle pointers and a clear note on when a medical assessment makes sense.
Just as important: the plan names the areas that are already stable and positive and should be kept that way.
A DNA signal from several clinically relevant microorganisms was detected. Have it assessed by a doctor if you have symptoms.
- Bring in polyphenol-rich foods such as berries, pomegranate, olive oil and green tea.
- Cut back on heavily processed foods, added sugar and alcohol.
- Increase the variety of plant foods: 20 to 30 different ones a week.
- Step up fermentable fibre such as oats, pulses, vegetables and wholegrain products gradually.
- Regular meals, enough sleep, avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
Gut health score and fungi are in the favourable range. Keep your current diet and lifestyle habits.
