BugSpeaks® Skin analyses your skin microbiome- its composition, microbial diversity, and the abundance of various categories of microorganisms associated with skin health. Using this information, BugSpeaks Skin generates skincare, ingredient, and probiotic recommendations to balance your skin microbiome.
Skin Hydration
Skin hydration plays a vital role in maintaining healthy, radiant skin. The skin’s uppermost layer, the epidermis, prevents water loss through its lipid structure, while beneficial bacteria in the skin microbiome support moisture retention. A personalized skin microbiome test can help you understand how hydration levels impact your skin health, guiding you to better skincare solutions tailored to your unique needs.
Skin Ageing
Skin ageing is influenced by both biological factors and environmental stressors like UV exposure. Changes such as reduced elasticity, wrinkles, and sagging often reflect deeper shifts in the skin's structure. A personalized skin microbiome test can reveal how your unique microbiome impacts aging, helping you explore microbiome skincare solutions to support skin health and resilience as you age.
Skin Barrier
The skin barrier is your body's first line of defense, protecting against water loss, harmful chemicals, and infections. Composed of specialized cells and lipids, it locks in moisture while maintaining a healthy balance. A personalized skin microbiome test can reveal how your unique microbiome supports barrier function, helping you choose the right skincare products for optimal protection and hydration.
Skin Elasticity
Skin elasticity allows your skin to stretch and return to its original shape, thanks to proteins like collagen and elastin in the dermal matrix. A personalized skin microbiome test can help identify how your skin's microbiome influences elasticity. By understanding these interactions, you can choose tailored skincare solutions to support firm, youthful skin and reduce visible signs of ageing.
Rych Index is a proprietary algorithm based output that tends to indicate the overall gut health with respect to the microbiota profile. Various parameters such as abundance, diversity and richness have been used to come up with the Rych Index score.
BugSpeaks® analyses your skin microbiome composition, characterises the diversity and abundance of various microbes, and associates them with parameters of skin health, to generate the best fit of ingredients for your skin.

What is BugSpeaks®?
BugSpeaks® is India's first Skin Microbiome Test, with focus on wellbeing through dietary, probiotic, and prebiotic recommendations, based on your unique microbiome profile. BugSpeaks® is brought to you by Leucine Rich Bio Pvt Ltd. - Asia’s first microbiome company. The company is headquartered in Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India.
Is this a diagnostic test?
No!! It is a wellness test. The test would tell you about the current status of your gut health, impact of that on other health issues, and provide you with personalized dietary, probiotic, and prebiotic recommendations for significantly improving your wellness.
Is this 16s based test?
No!! This is not a 16s rDNA-based test. The 16s rDNA-based sequencing allows identification of only bacteria and archaea in your gut, and cannot identify fungi, worms, viruses, and other microbes. Further, the 16s method would characterize the microbiota till genus level at best, with some level of species characterization, while we want to achieve the best species and even strain level classification.
Then, what is the basis of this test?
We primarily identify “the diverse microbial species” within your sample [stool sample from gut], followed by characterization, analysis, and interpretation of larger patterns within them using the ‘microbiome sequencing analysis” and our patent pending technology. In technical terms, we to the metagenome sequencing of the sample to identify and characterize the microbiota of the sample.
How do I benefit from this test?
BugSpeaks® is a unique test which not only provides you with current status of your gut health and disease risk analysis but extends beyond to provide you with personalized recommendations to improve your overall health. In summary we provide :-
Will the pathogen characterization be like lab test?
No!! This is not a diagnostic test. This is not a culture-based test, where the CFU/g of the pathogen in the stool sample will be reported. We characterize the pathogens based on its DNA, yet you will have actionable inputs and recommendations if there are any pathogens that are high in your gut.
How do you find the relevance of the gut microbiome to disease?
We achieve this through the aid of associations between your gut microbiome profile [which is unique] and that of reported evidence, utilizing our patent pending technology, giving you an estimate of disease risks. This can be used to monitor specific diseases that you might be at risk for in the long run. The associations between microbiota and diseases are extracted from our manually curated and validated Database called MicroByte.
How do you formulate and customize the dietary recommendations?
Just like the disease associations, we achieve this through the aid of associations between your gut microbiome profile [which is unique] and that of reported evidence to personalize your nutritional and supplement recommendations. We have manually curated and validated associations between microbiota and foods called NutriBite.
I am already taking probiotics, why should I take this test?
Even though probiotics are generally recognized as safe and largely beneficial, it is important to know the need for probiotics in the first place. Once you have established the need, then one need to know which specific probiotic species or concoction would aid you. You may be taking a probiotic with some species that may not be needed at all. Also, excess of everything is bad, so taking probiotics which are unnecessary and in excess might be bad for you. BugSpeaks® test provides a snapshot of all the probiotics species that are present in your gut and thus will help you to fine tune your probiotic requirements, with specific species combination that are missing or low in your gut.
I am already following a well-planned diet. Why should I take this test?
That’s great! However, is it personalized for you? based on your microbiome? This personalization is critical, since all the food you eat passes through the intestine where these microorganisms act on them, helping in overall digestion. Different microorganisms act on different foods to produce different metabolites, which might be good or bad for our health. Since our recommendations are based on your unique microbiome, its personalized to you.
