About Nova Microbiome

Nova Microbiome is a plain-spoken guide to gut health. The gut microbiome field is genuinely exciting, and it is also drowning in marketing. Bottles brag about billions of CFU that mean little, tests promise personalized answers the science cannot yet deliver, and every "wellness" brand wants to sell you a subscription. This site exists to cut through that with the honest version.

Our one rule: evidence over hype

We read the strain-level trials and meta-analyses, not the brand pages. We match products to the exact strain and dose that was studied. When the evidence is strong, we say so. When it is mixed, weak, or overhyped, we say that too, even when the honest answer is "you probably do not need this." That last part is the whole point. Most gut-health content is written to make a sale. We would rather be the site you trust because it talked you out of a purchase.

How we research

Every product page starts from the research: current strains, doses, prices, and the clinical evidence for each claim, checked at the time of writing. We do not publish fake first-person "we tested this in our lab" claims. Where our own hands-on experience is limited, we say so rather than invent it. Prices and formulas change constantly, so we date our checks and tell you to confirm before buying.

How we make money

When you buy through a link here, the seller may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. That is it. Brands do not pay for placement, do not see our content before it publishes, and cannot buy a better ranking. We point to cheaper products all the time, because being right is the only durable asset a site like this has. Full details on the affiliate disclosure page.
