Every NostraBiome journey begins with a test. Our most advanced test is the NostraBiome Metagenomic Microbiome Intelligence, which provides everything needed to analyze every single microbe and bacterium living in your body. With our Full Metagenomic Test, NostraBiome examines microbiome activity across your body using our proprietary NostraAi technology. Combined with metagenomic DNA sequencing, this approach delivers the highest-resolution insights into your body's status quo, revealing critical links between the microbiome and other organs. This unique capability allows us to provide precise and highly accurate recommendations for autoimmune and chronic conditions. In addition to the test, we ask you to complete a comprehensive health profiling questionnaire. Depending on the complexity of your condition, we may also request previously tested blood marker values. All of this data is fed into our NostraAi engine, which analyzes gene expression across your body. Our AI then sorts through millions of data points, identifying the most effective drugs, foods, nutrients, and ingredients to help reduce immune pathway activations that trigger your symptoms.

Our test is not just a test — it includes the entire process of sample collection, testing, and interpretation through the integration of all your medical data (other analyses you may have) and lifestyle information. It includes interpreting the microbiome results in the context of all these personal details and your full medical history. This means that, in addition to the test itself, if you have blood tests or other analyses related to your condition, these will also be analyzed and interpreted by our technology. Based on a comprehensive understanding of your situation, you receive a detailed report explaining the underlying causes of your issue, a quantification of the problem and how your gut microbiome contributes to it, and a personalized set of recommendations to help you modulate your microbiome and eliminate all chemical sources that sustain the problem.

To get started, you are not required to subscribe to one of our plans, which include a test, recommendations, and products bundled together. In fact, we offer multiple approaches tailored to fit different conditions. For IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease)—where we have the most experience—we provide a fully personalized treatment plan. This includes recurrent test kits, in-depth profiling, diagnosis, and a treatment recommendation reviewed and approved by our internal medical team. For other immune diseases, we offer specific tests that can help uncover hidden underlying causes, providing valuable insights for both you and your doctor. For a fully personalized experience, we will soon launch a subscription service that, in addition to tests and recommendations, will offer continuous communication and direct interaction with our medical team.

Depending on the complexity of your condition and the solution you choose, a fully personalized plan may take up to six weeks to be curated for you. The most time-consuming component is typically metagenomic sequencing, which, due to the complexity and vast amount of data generated, usually takes around four weeks to complete.

There is no single answer, as everything depends entirely on the underlying cause of the disease. Every patient is different, and therefore, each treatment and set of recommendations is uniquely tailored. Regardless of your progress, we recommend staying in close contact with us for at least 12 months—even if your symptoms disappear—to ensure they do not relapse.

NostraBiome is the only company that combines DNA sequencing, advanced user profiling, and blood test data to understand not just which microbes are present in your microbiome, but also what they are actively doing in your body compared to someone else’s. Microbes can behave differently—either beneficially or harmfully—depending on an individual’s environment. What sets NostraBiome apart is our ability to analyze how your microbiome interacts with you as its human host. You are in a symbiotic relationship with your microbiome, and when it functions suboptimally, your health can suffer. We also take a systems biology approach, meaning we assess the body as a whole—examining cellular, molecular, organ, and tissue systems holistically—to identify the root causes of dysfunction that may lead to illness or symptoms you experience daily. Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, we target the underlying causes. While some tests focus only on DNA, we understand that measuring superficial health markers alone won’t provide long-term support or enhance your body’s resilience against the internal and environmental stressors you face every day.

Since our recommendations may include over-the-counter medications, along with nutritional, lifestyle, and dietary supplements, our team is composed of highly skilled, certified gastroenterologists, infectiologists, immunologists, and nutritionists. They work together to carefully assess your case and ensure that all AI-generated recommendations are both safe and medically validated.

No, the AI functions as a support tool, helping our internal medical team uncover hidden correlations within over 40 million data points that may contribute to your condition. While the system generates recommendations, only our doctors have the authority to make medical decisions and approve the final treatment plan for you.

We collaborate with several top laboratories in Denmark, Norway, and the USA.

A consultation is not included, but you receive a complete report with an evaluation and clear recommendations.

Absolutely yes.

First of all, we analyze over 35,000 potential organisms, and with our testing method, no organism goes undetected, since we sequence the entire DNA present in the fecal sample. By contrast, many tests on the market (e.g., BioClinica, Synlab, GanzImmun) use PCR on only about 50 “key” species. The difference in depth is clear: it’s like making a diagnosis based on 100% of the picture, versus about 0.02%, which is what classical dysbiosis tests offer. Additionally, we integrate all your medical data and history into the interpretation process: we don’t just provide a numerical analysis, but also an epigenetic analysis, connecting potential bacterial gene mutations with their clinical manifestations. The recommendations are personalized, not generic, and are based on a broad spectrum of factors — lifestyle, interactions, and even manifestations outside the gastrointestinal tract, etc.

The processing time is approximately 4 weeks from sample collection to receiving the recommendations, due to the extended time required for this comprehensive genetic sequencing process.
