Your internal ecosystem

Your gut microbiome is a large and unique ecosystem consisting of bacteria, viruses and fungi. They specialize in living in your gut, coexisting with you. Together, they perform a number of tasks that affect your health and well-being.

The gut microbiome

Major research and technological advances indicate that the gut microbiome plays an important role in our health, well-being, and resistance to disorders in the gut and the body in general.

Most microorganisms are not dangerous, quite the opposite. In fact, there are more microbes living inside us than our own body has cells. These microbes are bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi and various single-celled organisms. They live in the digestive system, and their functions and composition are crucial for the body and its health.

With a microbiome test, you will gain knowledge and understanding of which beneficial and non-beneficial bacteria are found in your gut. You will also be able to compare your bacterial levels with relevant reference groups and see our unique visualization of your gut microbiome.

At Unseen Bio we believe:

"that understanding, nurturing and optimizing one's individual gut microbiome is one of the paths to good health, well-being and performance."

Christian Lieven - CTO

“The fact that there is always something new to learn or discover motivates me.

Additionally, I believe there are patterns in the microbiome data that we can use to truly benefit society.

What if we could fully understand and, through our behavior, "shape" the microbes within us to support our own well-being?"

How to do a microbiome analysis

1. stool sample

We can't avoid it. To analyze the gut microbiome, we need a stool sample. This sample is taken with our hygienic test kit and we need 1-2 grams, the equivalent of a pea.

2. sequencing

The biological material is converted into data via a method called sequencing. We use a highly advanced analysis called Shotgun metagenome sequencing.

3. personal report

Finally, our systems analyze the data and create a personalized report on the microbiome state and optimization opportunities. The report is interactive and accessible via the user's personal profile at my.unseenbio.com .

The results are available in Danish, English and German.

DNA is everywhere

Wherever you go and whatever you do, you leave traces of DNA behind. DNA is part of the 500 million or so skin cells that you shed every day. It's also in the tiny droplets of saliva that you spray into the air when you talk, sneeze, or cough, and it should come as no surprise that there's DNA in your urine and stool, too.

The gut-brain axis: Is it really a thing?

The gut-brain axis is a hot topic that has captured the attention of researchers around the world. It is now widely accepted that what happens in our gut affects our mood and behavior. A large body of scientific evidence confirms that the microbiome has an impact on this gut-brain axis when it comes to health and disease.

Gut mycobiota: The fungal community in the gut

The human gut is home to a vast microbial ecosystem consisting of a wide variety of species, including bacteria, archaea, viruses, protists, and fungi. The fungal component is known as the “mycobiome,” and is important for your gut health.
