Why is Mimatest® unique?
The small intestine is difficult to diagnose. Traditional examinations are often complex and stressful for patients. Stool tests also provide only limited information about what is happening in the small intestine.
Mimatest® circumvents these limitations. The analysis is performed using dried blood and can be carried out entirely at home. Once the test is complete, your results are available online. If desired, these can be explained to you during a professional consultation.
Every person has a unique gut microbiome.
The gut microbiome consists of billions of microorganisms that interact closely with the human body. Among other things, they influence nutrient absorption, metabolism, skin health, and mental performance.
If this delicate balance is disrupted, it is referred to as dysbiosis. This can contribute to numerous health problems. Mimatest® helps you to identify and better understand possible connections.

Quick Q&A
Who is a gut microbiome test like Mimatest® meant for?
Mimatest® is suitable for anyone looking to optimize their intestinal health, but is especially ideal for individuals dealing with an array of health issues such as chronic illness, skin conditions, digestive problems, infections, poor immune health or food intolerances.
What will the results show me?
Your test results will present the lack or overgrowth of bacteria, fungi and potentially viruses in your microbiome. From then, you (or with the aid of a professional) and extrapolate whether there is a imbalance of flora and which steps to take in order to improve your condition.
What do I do with my results once I receive them?
You have the options to share your results with your own doctor or medical professional, or you can schedule a consultation with Mimatest® for an analysis of your results as well as recommendations for improvement.
Can minors use the test?
Mimatest® is suitable for children as well. It might be most useful for children suffering from food intolerances and other digestive related issues.
Do I need a prescription from my doctor?
A prescription or referral is not required to use or purchase Mimatest®. You can purchase the test directly in our shop and use it yourself at home.
I have received my test results and am concerned. What should I do now?
Please don't be alarmed by your test results. These are preliminary findings from a diagnostic screening and may not reflect your full health picture. Factors like lab variations, timing, or other health conditions can influence outcomes.
Biomarkers detected in your results should be viewed holistically, in combination with each other and your overall clinical context, rather than assessed individually. Isolated values can be misleading without considering patterns, trends, and professional expertise.
This information is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your healthcare provider to interpret these results in the context of your symptoms, history, and overall health. They are best equipped to explain what this means for you and recommend next steps.
If you have concerns or experience symptoms, contact your doctor promptly.

How the Test Works
If you would like to learn more about the test or GC-MS, there are various sources of information available. A comprehensive overview can be found here.
Sample Reports

Why GC-MS?
The GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) test is a modern method for detecting and analyzing biomarkers in the small intestine. By identifying unique fatty acids and other chemical markers produced by microbes, this technology can accurately identify over 50 types of bacteria, fungi, and viruses directly from biological samples—without time-consuming cultivation. The results are fast, reliable, and highly specific, making GC-MS ideal for diagnosing infections, imbalances, and inflammation in the gut. This advanced approach provides precise and comprehensive insights into your gut health and supports effective, personalized gut care.

How does Mimatest® compare?
Mimatest®
Broad-spectrum analysis: Detects bacteria, fungi, viruses, and biomarkers in a single test.
Fast, minimally invasive, and easy-to-ship sample collection
Provides insights to support personalized treatment decisions
Enables easy progress monitoring and tracking of changes over time
Suitable for professionals from various medical and health-related disciplines
Comparable Tests
Limited representation of functional activity. Many approaches focus on microbial abundance rather than functional activity, which limits their informative value regarding host-microbe interactions.
High variability due to sample composition and handling, which can affect the consistency of results.
Incomplete coverage of the ecosystem, as fungi, viruses, and other non-bacterial components are often underrepresented.
Less patient-friendly sample collection, which can reduce compliance and suitability for repeated testing.
Where Does Science Stand Today?
Modern research is increasingly focusing on the gut and the gut microbiome when it comes to our health. It is becoming increasingly clear that disturbances in the delicate balance of these microbial communities and their functions can have far-reaching consequences—from metabolic diseases to autoimmune reactions and chronic inflammation to neurological complaints or mood swings.
For many years, scientists have been working to develop precise diagnostic methods that can detect early changes in the gut microbiome. The aim is not only to improve the treatment of complex diseases, but above all to enable early detection and prevention.
