What does a gut microbiome test measure?
The Nahibu test uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing to describe the microbial composition of your stool sample. Your report presents diversity indicators, the species identified and the functional potential suggested by the genes detected.
These results describe your microbiome at the time of sampling. They do not identify the cause of symptoms or provide a medical diagnosis. Before choosing a test, explore a sample report and the method's interpretation limits. An optional consultation with a dietitian-nutritionist can help you understand your Nahibu results.

Your microbiome evolves.
Follow its journey.
An analysis gives you a snapshot. Repeating it at different times lets you explore how your microbiome evolves.

Several analyses, a broader view of your results.
Microbiome test
Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing enables a global analysis, of which a selection of indicators is presented in the report.
An in-depth scientific analysis of your gut ecosystem to better understand it.
Why shotgun?
Shotgun metagenomics sequences the entire microbial genome, providing a more comprehensive analysis than 16S sequencing, which is limited to the analysis of specific sequences.
Global coverage
Analysis of all microbial genetic material
Taxonomic precision
Identification down to species for a finer readout.
Quality controls
Quality depends on controls throughout the analysis process.
Functional analysis
Exploration of the microbiome’s functional potential, in addition to its composition.
Shotgun and 16S: understanding the methods
Results depend on sampling, sequencing depth, databases and analysis methods.

Nahibu is for
Nahibu supports individuals, healthcare professionals, businesses and partners in their projects by unlocking the potential of the gut microbiome through advanced biological data analysis.
Why analyze your microbiome?
The gut microbiome is involved in many biological balances. Its analysis cannot provide a diagnosis, but it can offer objective insights into the gut environment.
Overall balance
Observing microbiome diversity and structure helps contextualize certain functional states, without reducing them to a single cause.
Digestive environment
The bacterial composition provides an overview of the intestinal ecosystem and its major balances.
Descriptive data
The analysis provides measurable data on microbiome composition, without prescriptions or behavioral guidance.
A snapshot in time
Your report describes the sample collected; it is not a prediction of your future health.
Who is this analysis for?
For people who want to:
- better understand their biological baseline
- access factual data about their gut ecosystem
- have an objective support for discussion with a healthcare professional
An analysis to better understand the structure of your gut microbiome.
The Nahibu report presents descriptive data from a metagenomic analysis.
