Here’s how our micriobiome insights help you give your patients an edge
Assess your patient’s health at a glance
The unique status & composition of the gut microbiome is related to countless aspects of physical, mental, and psychological health.
So, knowing your patients’ gut microbiome helps you understand their overall health status and support their wellbeing more effectively.
BiomEdge enables a holistic approach to evaluating your patients’ health and developing proactive health strategies.
Identify potential signs of chronic illness earlier
A patient’s unique microbiome pattern may signal the onset of several diseases, potentially years before the first symptoms.
At this stage, some chronic diseases may still be reversible, and early treatment often leads to better patient outcomes.
BiomEdge identifies potentially developing chronic illnesses based on your patients’ microbiome patterns.
Investigate the root causes of "mysterious" symptoms
An unbalanced vaginal or gut microbiome can lead to seemingly unconnected, but very uncomfortable symptoms.
Patients with these symptoms suffer through misdiagnoses & mistreatments without any long-term improvements.
BiomEdge detects dysbiosis and may help you address the root of any symptoms associated with this microbial imbalance.
Offer your patients personalised treatments
Individual microbiome patterns influence how patients’ bodies react to certain medications, therapies, supplements, or diets.
This is a big part of why the same treatment can cause distinct side-effects and lead to different outcomes in two patients.

Frequently asked questions
1. How can BiomEdge’s microbiome testing elevate my clinical practice?
Microbiome analysis – both gut and vaginal – offers invaluable insights into your patients' health by uncovering the diversity, abundance, and functional roles of the various microbial communities living inside their bodies. In the gut, this data helps you understand how bacterial strains and their metabolites influence metabolic processes, immune function, and conditions such as IBS, obesity, inflammation, or autoimmune disorders. In the vaginal microbiome, this analysis identifies imbalances that may contribute to recurrent infections, dysbiosis, or conditions like bacterial vaginosis (BV), STDs, or yeast infections – which can all impact reproductive and overall health.
By integrating gut and vaginal microbiome testing into your clinical practice, you can tailor diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to address microbial imbalances and restore optimal health. At BiomEdge, we provide detailed and actionable insights to help healthcare professionals develop evidence-based treatment plans that restore microbial harmony and improve patient outcomes.
2. When should I order microbiome testing, and for which patients?
Microbiome testing can be a valuable tool across a wide range of clinical scenarios. It is particularly beneficial for patients dealing with digestive disturbances, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, metabolic disorders, or mental health concerns such as anxiety or depression, which are increasingly being linked to gut microbiome imbalances. Testing is also highly recommended before and after antibiotic treatments to monitor disruptions in microbial diversity and guide recovery strategies.
For patients planning to conceive or during pregnancy, microbiome analysis – both gut and vaginal – provides critical insights. A healthy maternal microbiome plays a pivotal role in pregnancy outcomes, reducing complications, and supporting the baby’s immune system and developmental health. By identifying microbial imbalances early, you can help optimize health during these vital stages.
3. How long does the sample remain usable after collection?
The proprietary liquid in BiomEdge’s specialized sampling tube has been proven to ensure that the microbiome sample remains stable and usable for up to 21 days after collection. Our preservation technology maintains the integrity of the microbial DNA, allowing for accurate and reliable analysis even in the unlikely case of significant delays in shipping or processing.
4. What is "Shotgun" sequencing, and what are its advantages?
Shotgun sequencing is a powerful and advanced next-generation sequencing technique used to analyze DNA with remarkable precision. It involves breaking the DNA into small fragments, sequencing each piece individually, and then using sophisticated bioinformatics software to reassemble the fragments by identifying overlapping sections. This method is significantly more accurate and reliable than traditional sequencing techniques, as it identifies microbes at the species level (rather than the less informative genus level typical of other sequencing methods), providing a highly detailed snapshot of the microbiome. Due to its high efficiency and precision, shotgun sequencing is generally preferred in large-scale genome projects, such as sequencing human DNA.
Unlike traditional DNA-sequencing methods, shotgun sequencing used by BiomEdge can identify not only bacteria but also fungi, viruses, and single-cell protozoa present in microbiome samples – all at the precise species level, rather than just the genus level typical of other sequencing methods. Additionally, it provides insights into the human DNA background found in the sample, which can help detect inflammatory processes and assess bacterial toxin-producing capabilities. This comprehensive, high-resolution approach delivers a deeper level of analysis, enabling healthcare practitioners to uncover critical factors influencing their patients' health.
5. Can the results be affected by the patient’s diet or medication?
Yes, a patient’s diet and medication can significantly influence the microbiome sample. Medications such as antibiotics, dietary supplements like probiotics and prebiotics, and specific food groups can alter the composition and activity of the microbiome. It’s important to consider these factors when interpreting test results, as they may impact microbial diversity and the abundance of certain species. For accurate analysis, you may want to advise patients to disclose any recent changes in diet, lifestyle, supplements, or medications prior to sampling.
