Three plant sources in one simple recipe 🍫 ⁠
⁠
Cocoa polyphenols paired with fibre-rich ingredients – two things your gut bacteria love. Good news, supporting your microbiome can be delicious! ⁠
⁠
85%+ cacao. Real ingredients. More plant diversity in = more microbial diversity within. ⁠

What is your gut test actually missing? 🤔⁠
⁠
Most tests only detect around 30% of your gut microbiome. Microba Microbiome Explorer goes further - combining shotgun metagenomics with a targeted Pathogen Panel for species-level resolution. Every marker backed by over 1,500 peer-reviewed studies. No guesswork, just science. 🔬⁠
⁠
Your gut has a lot to say. It's time to see the whole picture. 🧬⁠

Not every microbiome test is built to the same standard. Here's what clinical-grade actually means 👇

✅ Validated sample collection – because clinical-grade starts before the lab. The sample needs to accurately represent the patient's microbiome, not what happened to it in transit.

✅ ISO 15189 accreditation – the international standard for medical laboratory quality. Every step externally audited, documented, and reproducible.

✅ Validated bioinformatics pipelines – rigorous computational analysis that ensures data is processed accurately and at the resolution needed for clinical interpretation.

✅ Evidence-based interpretive frameworks – because a report should contextualise findings and support clinical decision-making, not just list organisms.

This is what clinical-grade looks like. Validated. Accredited. Clinically interpreted. 🔬

Want to know how to build personalised gut care programmes? 🤔⁠
⁠
Join us for our next Clinical Conversations with Registered Nutritional Therapist, Lauren Lovell!⁠
⁠
📅 Tuesday 21 April 2026⁠
⏰ 7:00pm AEST | 10:00am BST⁠
🎤 Speaker: Lauren Lovell⁠
📍 Online | 90 minutes⁠

Your patients' microbiome is a whole ecosystem 🌍 ⁠
⁠
They deserve to have it measured that way. ⁠
⁠
The gut microbiome influences health through microbial metabolism, immune regulation, gut barrier function, and signalling pathways. It's a two-way relationship – the microbiome shapes the body, and the body shapes the microbiome. ⁠
⁠
Partial testing captures fragments of this system. Whole-ecosystem metagenomics measures it as the whole picture – species-level, function-aware, ecologically complete. ⁠
⁠
Because when it comes to complex, chronic presentations, the whole picture changes the conversation. 💬 ⁠

This is what whole-ecosystem microbiome testing actually looks like 🌍

Traditional testing looks for specific organisms. One target. One answer.

But the gut contains trillions of microorganisms – bacteria, fungi, Archaea, protists – and they don’t just exist. They function.

Metabolic pathways. Functional genes. Ecological interactions.

Whole-ecosystem metagenomics captures all of it 👇

✅ Species-level identification
✅ Functional capacity
✅ Ecological balance

Not a checklist. An ecosystem.

The whole picture. Finally. 🔬

The clinical standard for microbiome assessment is evolving 🔬 ⁠
⁠
Whole-ecosystem. Species-level. Function-aware. ⁠
⁠
The microbiome is not best understood through a "good bugs vs bad bugs" lens. Clinical relevance is determined by ecological balance, functional pathways, metabolic output, and patient context. ⁠
⁠
When we measure the whole ecosystem, we move from asking "is this pathogen present?" to asking "what is this ecosystem functionally capable of – and how might that be influencing this patient's presentation?" ⁠
⁠
That shift doesn't replace clinical judgement. It expands it. 💡⁠

4 methods. 4 questions. One clear answer. 🎯 ⁠
⁠
Not all microbiome tests are built for the same purpose. Some detect specific pathogens. Some survey broad bacterial groups. Only one measures the whole ecosystem – species-level, function-aware, across bacteria, fungi, Archaea, and protists. ⁠
⁠
Swipe through to see how culture, qPCR, 16S rRNA sequencing, and shotgun metagenomics compare against the clinical questions that matter most 👉 ⁠

The science speaks for itself. 🧬 ⁠

A question worth sitting with 💭

A patient presents with chronic bloating, fatigue, and brain fog. Conventional workup is unremarkable. You order a targeted gut microbiome test – results come back within normal limits.

But the symptoms persist.

A whole-ecosystem test reveals reduced butyrate-producing capacity, elevated inflammatory signalling potential, and diminished microbial diversity – a pattern that the targeted test was never designed to detect.

How often do targeted tests answer the question we actually need answered?

We'd love to hear your experience. Have you ever had a case where the test result didn't match the clinical picture? 👇

Detecting an organism and understanding its role are two very different things. 🧬 Take butyrate production. Multiple spe...

Detecting an organism and understanding its role are two very different things. 🧬

Take butyrate production. Multiple species contribute to butyrate synthesis in the gut. A targeted test might detect a few of them, but it can't tell you whether total butyrate-producing capacity is sufficient or depleted.

That distinction changes the clinical recommendation.

The same applies to pro-inflammatory-LPS signalling. Pro-inflammatory forms of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are produced by many gram-negative bacteria. A single-organism test won't quantify total LPS burden. Ecosystem-level analysis assesses the cumulative inflammatory signalling potential.

The clinical picture depends on the whole community – not one member of it. 🌿
