OMBucha® Home Gut Microbiome Test – UK
It’s time to find out what’s actually going on inside your gut with our personal home Microbiome Test. Quickly and accurately learn how to repair the problem with the help of our support.
There is no magic pill and you certainly don’t need another one-size-fits-all diet. Instead, you need a science-based nutrition plan, tailored to your needs, that tells you which foods you need to eat, to boost the health of your own gut microbiome.
OMBucha now offer an easy-to-use Microbiome Test that you can take in the privacy of your own home.
Take a look inside the mysterious and magnificent world of your gut biome and learn how your gut diversity compares to the general population, as well as the level of protection you have against diseases like diabetes type 2, heart disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and obesity. Discover how well your gut microbes are processing fibre and synthesising essential vitamins.
Every scientific finding is distilled into an easy to understand list of practical, everyday food recommendations, so you can literally eat yourself healthy. Simply work your way through your recommended food list, consuming each food at least once a week, to help repair your microbiome and boost your gut health.
Your results will be explained to you during a free consultation with one of OMBucha® nutritional therapists.
Test price includes a free consultation with our certified nutritionist, who will explain your results. You will also receive a downloadable copy of your results.

The interpretations provided by the Atlas DNA and Microbiome Tests are based on the scientific study of European populations. This is why the disease risk assessment and population characteristics are more focused on people of European descent, and may be less relevant to people of other origins. The Atlas DNA and Microbiome Tests are not for diagnostic purposes or disease management. We do not recommend taking these tests if you are pregnant. If you have recently undergone a course of antibiotics, you should wait three months before giving a sample for testing. Our services are reserved for the use of people over the age of 18. To ensure the accuracy of your results, read the instructions carefully. The average processing time of a sample (after reception at the laboratory) was less than 3 weeks in October 2017. However, each sample is analysed on a case-by-case basis, so the whole process may take as long as 8 weeks.

How Does It Work?
Your test kit will be shipped to your door. You provide the bio-sample and ship it to the lab, where your results will be processed within 6-8 weeks. Every sample is analysed on a case-by-case basis and we will notify you personally if there are any changes to this timeframe. When your results are ready, our qualified nutritionist will talk you through the results, in a free private consultation.
How to take the test
When you receive your kit, follow the instructions, collect your sample and send it back. We’ll do the rest, like making sure the sample is valid, analysing the DNA of your gut bacteria and interpreting the data. All you have to do is log on to your personal account to see the results.

There exists more than 20,000 scientific articles that have been published relating to the gut microbiome and its relationship with various health conditions over the past decade.
Every single month, world over, 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 firmly 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.
The microbiome is a community of bacteria that live in the gut. Human gastrointestinal microbiota, also known as gut flora or gut microbiota, are the microorganisms that live in the digestive tracts of humans. Nowadays, we know that over 1,000 different types of microbes are active in the human intestines. Thanks to major advances in science & technology, it is now possible to perform accurate analyses of the microbiome using 16S rRNA sequencing to identify these bacteria based on their DNA. In fact, the genes in the human microbiome outnumber the genes in the human body 100 to 1.
Crudely put, the human is basically a tube from mouth to colon, surrounded by a big meat sack of water and protein made up of DNA. Your lifestyle and what you feed your living body (your inputs) create outputs through RNA and DNA gene expression. Everything you expose your system to, the food you eat, the environment you live in, the pharmaceuticals you consume, are all incoming code, that is translated and what is output is quite literally who you are, and how you feel.
Gut bacteria are part of a big group of microbes that perform important jobs for the human body like digesting food and breaking down dietary fibre, synthesising vitamins and essential chemical compounds as well as protecting the body from inflammation. Some bacteria may participate in the development of certain illnesses but, for most species, only if they are present in abnormal amounts. When the microbiome is balanced, it is able to prevent the intrusion and overgrowth of potentially pathogenic bacteria, thus contributing to overall health.
To experience optimal health and wellness, your focus has to be on optimising the delicate balance of positive microbiota that make up who you are, and how you feel/experience the world around you.
