InnerBuddies

InnerBuddies is a microbiome analysis company focused on at-home gut health testing and personalized nutrition guidance. It serves consumers who want to understand how their gut microbiome may relate to digestion, energy, immunity, mood, and overall wellbeing, and it also offers a B2B operating system for partners that want to embed microbiome testing and recommendations into their own services. The company positions itself as science-led and practical: it combines stool-sample analysis, a food diary, and a questionnaire to generate understandable reports and action points. InnerBuddies says it is a spin-off of Maastricht University and uses an ISO-certified EU laboratory, with GDPR-secure data handling and a home-test process designed to be simple and accessible.
