Why analyse the gut and oral microbiota together
Mouth-gut axis
The mouth and the gut are the start and the heart of the same journey: every day, billions of oral bacteria reach the gut with saliva.
Digestion
Digestion starts in the mouth with saliva and the oral microbiota, and continues in the gut, where bacteria help break down fibre.
Natural defences
The mouth and the gut are two barriers to the outside world: a balanced microbiota contributes to the body’s defences.
The full picture
One test to get to know the two main ecosystems of the digestive system and understand how they influence each other.
Balance and dysbiosis
What changes when the gut and oral microbiota are balanced or in dysbiosis
Balanced microbiota
- ✔ Gut: wide variety of bacterial species
- ✔ Gut: intact gut barrier
- ✔ Mouth: beneficial bacteria prevail and pH is correct
- ✔ Low levels of unwanted microorganisms
Microbiota in dysbiosis
- ✖ Gut: lower variety of species
- ✖ Gut: possible bloating and irregularity
- ✖ Mouth: unbalanced biofilm and altered pH
- ✖ Possible sensitive gums and altered breath

When knowing both microbiota is most useful
Bloating, slow digestion and bowel irregularity are linked to the balance of the gut microbiota, which also affects defences and metabolism.
Reflux and acidity can change the environment of the mouth. The report describes the oral ecosystem in relation to gastro-oesophageal reflux: useful information to share with your doctor.
Persistent bad breath and sensitive or bleeding gums are often linked to an imbalance of the oral microbiota. Knowing which bacteria are present helps your dentist plan prevention and check-ups.
Antibiotics change both the gut and the oral microbiota. Knowing their balance after treatment helps you plan diet and lifestyle together with your doctor.
Research is looking at how some oral bacteria, when present in large amounts, may reach the gut and influence its microbiota. Analysing both ecosystems together gives a more complete picture of the digestive system.
Frequently asked questions
Anyone who wants to know the state of their gut and oral microbiota: for example with bloating or difficult digestion, persistent bad breath, sensitive gums, reflux, or after a course of antibiotics. Sample collection is simple and non-invasive.
At home: a small stool sample and an oral swab, following the instructions included in the kit. There is a single, free pickup.
The report is sent by email within 3 weeks of sample pickup.
No. The test is not a diagnosis and the suggestions are not a treatment plan: they outline possible ways to rebalance microbial groups according to the latest scientific literature. We recommend sharing them with your doctor or dentist, who knows your medical history.
PROBiome DIGESTIVE HEALTH includes both analyses, with a single kit and a single pickup. If you are only interested in one ecosystem, there are PROBiome GUT and PROBiome ORAL.
