Discover the world of microbes
There are trillions of bacteria living on and inside our bodies. In fact, the volume of DNA contained in your microbiome far exceeds the human DNA of your body. Scientists even consider the gut microbiome to be a separate organ.
What you will learn?

Your microbiome health score and protection from 5 disease risks
Nutrition
Proportion of probiotics and beneficial bacteria, micronutrient synthesis potential and diversity score

The gut microbiome plays an important role in digestion and nutrient metabolism. It also protects the body from pathogenic microbes.
How the test works
The test shows you what foods to incorporate into your diet to improve your microbiome.
Collect a stool sample and send it for analysis

The science behind it
The OMBucha Microbiome Test was developed by AtlasBiomed & an international team of scientists, reviewed by our Scientific Board of Advisors and registered with the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare product Regulatory Agency) in the United Kingdom.
Jamie Rockers
Essentially having a wide range of gut flora is very beneficial to your health and helps you digest food easier and also a happy gut is a happy life. Apparently, a lot of our immune system is in our gut! The test gives you recommendations on everything from how much fibre you need to personalised food recommendations which I found really useful.

Microbiome test is a really good indicator of your overall health. That’s something that I’ve found has helped immensely in controlling my IBS symptoms things like bloating, diarrhoea and constipation
Jo White
I’ve always been interested in gut health and the Atlas Biomed microbiome kit has really helped me to understand how my eating habits affect my health.
Jenna
It advised me to increase the proportion of the beneficial bacteria by including foods from a recommended list in my diet to help balance my gut’s ecosystem and overall health. I was so pleased to see that Atlas wasn’t trying to flog me expensive health supplements, but were instead recommending increased consumption of about 70 different foods.

Why should I take a microbiome test?
The OMBucha Microbiome Test analyses the types of bacteria present and their proportion in the overall microbiome. It provides information about the various functions of your gut bacteria, like the extent to which they protect you against certain diseases and inflammation, as well as what vitamins they synthesise. You will also get recommendations to improve and maintain the balance of your microbiome by adding specific foods to your diet.
What’s the difference between this test and laboratory analysis?
Atlas Biomed uses advanced technology to analyse the DNA of your gut bacteria. Unlike conventional laboratory analysis, the OMBucha Microbiome Test not only qualitatively determines the composition of bacteria, but also calculates the proportion of the different types of bacteria in the microbiome.The 16S rRNA sequencing that is used for the Atlas test is more sensitive: it can detect bacteria that cannot be cultivated in Petri dishes (the method routinely employed by laboratories for stool sample analysis).
How do we know that bacteria affects our health?
More than 20,000 scientific articles have been published about the gut microbiome and its relationship with various health conditions over the past decade. Every month, new research is released in this field. We used these publications to develop an interpretation system that is now featured in our microbiome test.
This research has established that bacteria in the microbiome are not simply ‘good’ or ‘bad’ species. Rather, how microbes participate in health or illness is dependent on their abundance in the overall community and how they relate to one another. The recommendations provided on your personal account have been developed on the basis of microbiome research by doctors and scientists.
How to prepare for the test?
You don’t have to change your diet. Keep eating the way you normally do - this will allow us to get an accurate picture of your ‘normal’ microbiome and provide recommendations on how to improve or maintain it.
You should only collect a stool sample in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms. If you have been taking antibiotics or a long course of NSAIDs or have undergone surgery, wait at least 3 months before taking the OMBucha Microbiome Test.
What is the Atlas Microbiome Test subscription mode?
If you choose this option, we will send you a new OMBucha Microbiome Test kit every 3 months to your chosen address. As soon as the test kit is sent, we charge the order price to the bank card used for the initial payment.
It is a rolling subscription, so you will receive a test kit every 3 months. You can choose to terminate it whenever you like. To cancel the subscription, just contact us via email hello@ombucha.co.uk or do it by yourself on the data sources page.
If your first order contains both the OMBucha DNA and Microbiome Tests, the delivery is free of charge.
