It starts with just one poopy diaper.
tiniest Biome™ is an online platform and service that provides a look into your baby’s microbiome through the contents of their used diaper.
Microbiome of opportunity
The first three years of life are critical for establishing a healthy microbiome. During this time, microbes enter and settle in our gut, laying the foundation for our future health. By age three, these microbes become stable and almost impossible to change. The early settling microbes are essential because they help us maintain a healthy weight, improve our cognitive function, and fortify our immune system. After the age of three, the microbiome becomes resistant to change, making it essential to prioritize your baby's microbiome development now while there is still time to make a healthy impact.
Insights with a positive impact
Our lab analyzes the poop in your baby’s diaper to paint a clear picture of where their microbiome health is currently.
