Can this test diagnose medical conditions?No, Biomine’s test is not a medical diagnostic tool. It provides scientific insights into your microbiome to help guide lifestyle and dietary choices.
-
How often should I test my microbiome?Your gut microbiome changes over time based on diet, lifestyle, and environment. We recommend testing every 3 - 6 months to track improvements and fine-tune your health strategy.
-
Can I take the test while on probiotics?Yes! However, probiotics influence your microbiome, so it's good to note your usage in your intake questionnaire for more accurate recommendations.
-
Should I wait to test if I recently took antibiotics?Yes, we recommend waiting at least one month after completing antibiotics to allow your microbiome to stabilise.
-
Will my health insurance cover the cost?Currently, gut microbiome tests are not covered by most insurance providers, but we recommend checking with your insurer.
-
Can this test help with food intolerances or sensitivities?While Biomine doesn’t directly test for allergies, your results may identify gut imbalances linked to food sensitivities and digestive issues.

Why should I test my microbiome?Your gut health affects everything—from digestion and metabolism to energy and immunity. Without data, you’re guessing what’s working for your body. Biomine helps you take control of your health with science-backed insights.
