ABOUT
Everyone’s gut microbiome is different, so the ingredients we should consume differ as well.
There are approximately 1,000 types and 40 trillion bacteria living in the gut. The gut microbiome—defined by the types and quantities of these bacteria—differs from person to person.
As a result, the ingredients each individual should consume also vary.

Body Granola
The gut is the key to overall health.
Body Granola, co-developed with Asia’s leading gut health specialists: Metagen and AMILI, and backed by scientific research, helps support your gut environment. In recent years, increasing attention has been drawn to the connection between health and the short-chain fatty acids produced by the gut microbiome, with many academic studies published on the topic.
To increase the production of these short-chain fatty acids, it is essential to first understand the bacteria that live in your gut and then incorporate the ingredients that those bacteria thrive on into your daily routine.
Feature 01
Even foods that are considered “good for the gut” may not necessarily be good for your gut.
With a simple at-home test, you can discover the ingredients and foods that truly support your gut health. Everyone’s gut microbiome differs in both its types and balance of bacteria, and each type of bacteria prefers different prebiotic ingredients. That’s why testing is essential.
Once your kit arrives, simply collect a small stool sample and send it back by mail. Based on the types and ratios of bacteria in your gut, we identify your unique “gut microbiome type.” You’ll then receive clear guidance on which ingredients and foods your dominant bacteria thrive on.
Feature 02
Your Personalized Granola
Delicious, simple, and perfectly suited to any lifestyle—so you can stick with it effortlessly.
Formulated with prebiotic ingredients that help nourish the good bacteria in your gut.
Just combine the base granola with three personalized options tailored to your body’s needs, and your very own “My Granola” is ready to enjoy.
Tasty, convenient, and easy to make a daily habit—even on your busiest days.

Age/Gender: 30s/Men Duration: 8 months
Since my daughter was born, I've wanted to be a cool dad, so I started rethinking my diet and exercise for my health. It doesn't feel like a struggle at all; it has just become a consistent part of my morning routine.
Age/Gender: 40s/Women Duration: 10 months
The test results were much more detailed than I had anticipated, and they gave me a great opportunity to truly understand my body. Plus, I was surprised that the taste was much better than I expected. I am also happy that I can stick with it easily and at my own pace.
Age/Gender: 40s/Women Duration: Test Only
I took the test due to an interest in dieting and health issues. Learning that my Bacteroides level was only 3% was a revelation. I switched my diet from focusing mainly on yogurt to including more bananas and pearled barley, and my overall condition became much more stable. General health information never seemed to apply to me, so having such convincing results and easy-to-understand analysis was extremely helpful.
