Why the INTEST.pro is the best gut test for adults
The INTEST.pro is our core product for anyone aged 15 and up – DNA-based, scientifically grounded, and tailored to the needs of adults. Six points that set the INTEST.pro apart from other gut tests:
DNA sequencing instead of bacterial cultivation
We use Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) of 16S rRNA genes, identifying over 99% of known gut bacteria. Traditional stool tests at your GP only detect 15–20%, because most gut bacteria don’t grow on culture media.

BIOMES is used in research projects by Charité Universitätsmedizin, Sanofi, Humboldt University Berlin, Free University Berlin and Carl-Thiem-Klinikum Cottbus, among others. No other direct-to-consumer provider in Germany offers this depth of scientific partnerships.

Before purchase – frequently asked questions
What does the BIOMES INTEST.pro gut test cost?
The INTEST.pro costs €159 as a single test. The double pack — ideal for couples or for tracking your progress after 3–6 months — is €259. Optionally, you can add a personalised probiotic based on your analysis for an additional €40. The price includes the kit, return shipping, DNA sequencing in our German lab, personalised evaluation and permanent dashboard access.
Who is the INTEST.pro gut test suitable for?
The INTEST.pro is suitable for adults aged 15 and up. Common reasons are digestive issues (bloating, IBS), recurring infections, dietary changes, suspected histamine intolerance or a baseline check after antibiotic therapy. It can also be useful preventively — without specific complaints. For children aged 3–14 there's the INTEST.pro KIDS, for dogs the DOGS analysis.
How does the INTEST.pro differ from myBioma, cerascreen or OMNi-BiOTiC?
Three points make the difference: personalised probiotic, AI-powered microbiome coach and scientific partnerships. After your analysis, we recommend one of six BIOM.uniq probiotics matched to your actual bacterial composition — no competitor offers this. Our digital coach guides you long-term through implementing the recommendations. And with partners like Charité, Sanofi and HU Berlin, we have a scientific depth that is unique in this form on the German market. Price-wise, all providers range between €117 and €159.
What's the difference from a gut test at your GP?
Your GP typically uses a culture-based method that detects around 15–20% of gut bacteria and specifically looks for pathogens. The INTEST.pro uses DNA sequencing (NGS) and identifies over 99% of known gut bacteria — including personalised nutrition recommendations. For acute medical complaints, your GP is always the first point of contact; for a preventive gut flora analysis, the INTEST.pro is more precise. Both approaches can be combined meaningfully.
Which bacteria are analysed in the INTEST.pro?
The INTEST.pro covers over 1,000 gut bacteria species from four main phyla: Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. Your evaluation includes the Bacteroidetes-to-Firmicutes ratio (a marker for energy utilisation), your diversity index, your enterotype (B-type or P-type) and a detailed breakdown of individual genera such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Akkermansia muciniphila or Bifidobacterium.
What are other customers' experiences with the BIOMES gut test?
The INTEST.pro currently has 593 reviews with an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars. 79% of customers give the full rating. Most frequently praised are the clarity of the evaluation, the easy sample collection at home and the customer service. Since 2018, over 50,000 people have analysed their gut flora with BIOMES. The test has been featured in FOCUS Gesundheit, SPIEGEL Wissen, Welt der Wunder and Labor Journal, among others.
From what age is the INTEST.pro suitable?
The INTEST.pro is suitable from age 15. For children aged 3 to 14, we use a separate reference algorithm in the INTEST.pro KIDS, because children's microbiomes differ structurally from adult microbiomes. Below age 3, a microbiome analysis is not yet meaningful, as gut flora is still developing in early childhood.
Does health insurance cover the cost of the BIOMES INTEST.pro?
No. The INTEST.pro is a self-pay test and counts as a lifestyle product — not a medical diagnostic device. Statutory health insurance funds do not cover it; private insurers generally don't either. For specific medical complaints, your GP or gastroenterologist can arrange a classical stool examination, which is partially covered by insurance.
After purchase – frequently asked questions
When will I receive my results in the dashboard?
The complete analysis process, which consists of several sub-steps, takes 2-4 weeks depending on the sample. We'll notify you via email as soon as your results are available in your personal dashboard.
When should I submit my stool sample – if I have symptoms or if I am symptom-free?
Creating a gut microbiota profile is especially useful when symptoms are present. But even without symptoms, it's a way to explore yourself and your health. It provides a snapshot and reveals a lot about your current gut health and overall well-being. An unhealthy lifestyle and diet can lead to long-term intestinal problems, immune deficiencies, intolerances, and even more serious problems such as allergies and chronic intestinal diseases. It's advisable to conduct one or more follow-up tests to truly determine the change.
How do I activate my sample?
In your dashboard (my.biomes.world/) there is a person icon in the top right, next to which you can see your account name. Click on the icon and select "Activate sample." Then indicate whether the sample is from you or someone else. You can also create multiple profiles, under which you can manage multiple samples, for example for other people, such as children, parents, or siblings. It's best to name profiles after names and each sample consecutively - it's entirely up to you. Each sample must be activated in an existing or new profile using the corresponding activation code. You can find the code in the instruction flyer included in your self-test kit. Then fill out all the required fields in the extensive questionnaire as far as you can. Finally, click on "Submit questionnaire." You should receive a notification that your sample is now activated and is either still on its way or already in the lab for analysis. The activated sample should now appear under "My Samples" - your sample overview, which you can access again via the person icon in the top right. Once the results are available, you can click on the sample and your analysis will open. While the sample is being analyzed, you'll see the individual steps of the lab process.
Can I keep the unused kit and use it at a later date?
The important DNA-stabilizing solution contained in sample tubes can be used for up to two years. This means that the kit can be stored for a maximum of two years after receipt. You can also take the sample at a later date and then send it to our lab.
Where can I order the BIOMES probiotic that was recommended to me in my evaluation?
The BIOM.uniq probiotic product line offers six different types (Alpha to Zeta), each recommended for different, individual weaknesses in your gut flora. Our recommendation for which type would help you is based on the results of our INTEST.pro intestinal test. You can order BIOM.uniq probiotics from the BIOMES online shop at this link.
How long should you take the BIOM.uniq probiotic?
Regarding the use of our probiotic supplement (BIOM.uniq), we recommend starting with one pack. The 60 capsules can be spread over one or two months. The maximum daily dose is two capsules. These are highly active and viable cultures that should establish themselves well in the gut with a normal lifestyle and diet. After a break, you can decide on an individual basis whether to continue taking the supplement. A follow-up test can provide certainty.
Probiotic foods can be permanently integrated into your daily diet. However, the use of probiotic supplements should be done in moderation. We recommend limiting the intake of our products to a specific period of time or linking it to an analysis. Since only a limited number of microbes can be cultivated and supplemented, true diversity can only be achieved in the long term through an appropriate lifestyle and diet. High-dose probiotics carry the long-term risk of displacing other important strains that are not administered in such high doses. Nevertheless, decisions must be made on a case-by-case basis. If deficiencies have not yet been corrected with the cultures contained in the supplements, a second pack or even longer-term use cannot be ruled out. The colonization of the cultures can vary greatly from person to person. The focus should also be on eliminating symptoms and avoiding "over-optimization."
