Darmflora MIKROBIOM-Test Basic: which blood markers matter?

The 'Darmflora MIKROBIOM-Test Basic' by MyBody-X is a stool test that analyzes the composition of gut bacteria (microbiome) – specifically bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. It does not measure any blood markers. Therefore, the question about which blood markers matter is not directly applicable to this product. Blood markers that are indirectly related to gut health include C-reactive protein (CRP) for inflammation, zonulin for intestinal permeability, or vitamin D levels. However, these are not part of this microbiome test. MyBody-X offers separate blood tests (e.g., Vitamin-D Selbsttest), but they are not included here. The evidence for the microbiome test is primarily mechanistic and marketing-oriented; it can provide hints about bacterial diversity but cannot replace clinical diagnostics. Caveat: Without medical supervision, results should not be used for medical decisions. For blood markers, a separate test is required.
