nubu × iOmics Precision Microbiome Testing——using third-generation Shotgun Metagenomics, sample easily at home and gain a deep analysis of the species, strains and functions of your gut microbiome — the starting point of a personalized precision-health plan.

What is the microbiome?

The microbiome is the sum of the tens of trillions of bacteria, archaea, fungi and viruses living in your gut — weighing around 2 kg and carrying hundreds of times more genetic information than the human body itself. Deeply involved in digestion, metabolism, immunity and mood regulation, it is known as the body's "invisible organ."

Testing covers five key dimensions of health

• Metabolism & weight——energy absorption, blood sugar and fat metabolism
• Gut barrier——mucosal integrity and inflammation risk
• Immune balance——around 70% of immune cells are concentrated in the gut
• Gut-brain axis——mood, stress and sleep
• Longevity & inflammaging——microbial diversity and healthspan

Who needs testing most?

• Long-term digestive troubles (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, food intolerance)
• Anyone managing weight or metabolism (body fat, pre-diabetes, fatty liver, the "three highs")
• Recurring allergies or immune issues (atopic dermatitis, autoimmunity, chronic inflammation)
• Those pursuing precision health and anti-aging
• Athletes, or anyone troubled by anxiety, insomnia or brain fog

About 70% of adults have gut troubles — yet most don't realize it. If you've taken antibiotics more than twice in the past year, can't seem to lose weight no matter what, or have a relevant family history, testing is all the more recommended.

Why choose metagenomics (Shotgun)?

Compared with qPCR, which sees only a few pathogens, or 16S rRNA, which is limited to bacteria, third-generation metagenomics reads bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses and parasites in a single pass — resolving down to the species and strain level — and directly reveals functional and antibiotic-resistance genes. It is the gold standard recognized across the scientific community.

What you'll receive

• Microbial diversity and the ratio of key beneficial to pathogenic bacteria
• Risk assessment for metabolism, inflammation and the gut barrier
• Personalized dietary and precision supplement recommendations
• Recommended follow-up every 3–6 months to keep recalibrating your health plan
