MapmyBiome: How to Boost Your Health with Your Gut Microbiome
Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms — bacteria, fungi, and viruses — that collectively form your gut microbiome. This complex ecosystem influences your digestion, immunity, mood, metabolism, and even your risk of chronic disease. MapmyBiome by MapmyGenome is India’s most advanced gut microbiome test, helping you understand and optimise your gut health with unprecedented precision.
What is the Gut Microbiome?
The gut microbiome contains over 100 trillion microorganisms representing more than 1,000 species. A healthy, diverse microbiome is associated with better digestion, stronger immunity, improved mental health, and lower risk of conditions like obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Signs Your Gut Microbiome May Be Imbalanced
Chronic bloating, gas, or digestive discomfort
Frequent infections or slow recovery from illness
Unexplained fatigue or brain fog
Skin conditions like eczema or acne
Mood disturbances, anxiety, or depression
Food intolerances or sensitivities
How MapmyBiome Works
Sample collection: A simple at-home stool sample kit — no clinic visit required.
Shotgun sequencing: Unlike 16S rRNA tests, MapmyBiome uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing for species-level accuracy — identifying bacteria, fungi, viruses, and their functional genes.
Personalised report: Your results reveal your microbiome diversity score, dysbiosis markers, and specific dietary, probiotic, and lifestyle recommendations tailored to your unique gut profile.
What MapmyBiome Reveals
Your gut microbiome diversity and richness
Beneficial vs. potentially harmful bacterial species
Short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production capacity
Gut-brain axis markers linked to mood and cognition
Personalised probiotic and prebiotic recommendations
Dietary changes to restore balance and improve health
How to Improve Your Gut Microbiome
Eat a diverse, plant-rich diet with plenty of fibre
Include fermented foods (yogurt, kimchi, idli, kefir) daily
Reduce ultra-processed foods, added sugar, and artificial sweeteners
Manage stress — chronic stress disrupts the gut-brain axis
Get adequate sleep — your microbiome follows a circadian rhythm
Exercise regularly — physical activity increases microbial diversity
Discover What’s Living in Your Gut
MapmyBiome by MapmyGenome uses advanced shotgun sequencing to reveal your gut microbiome composition, diversity, and personalised recommendations for diet, probiotics, and lifestyle — all from a simple at-home sample.
