Where is science today in
MicroBiota Therapy?
What do we know and what are we missing? Science is evolving. Today, publications on the role of microbiota transfer in tumour management are still greeted with the same scepticism as those published more than ten years ago on the adverse effects of antibiotics in food on gut flora. At the same time, for many diseases, even people without a professional background are now aware of the importance of the diversity, balance and monitoring of the microorganisms in our gut. This is why you are on our site now. While the production of a perfectly functioning, stable ecosystem under artificial conditions will not be possible for many decades, the transfer of microbiota from healthy individuals called Microbiota Transfer Therapy (MTT) is now a routine.
First, we would like to explain how we think about the microorganisms that live in our gut today. We will then show you the therapeutic options available to you for different diseases. Finally, we will describe how you can access MicroBiome Bank capsules for each disease group.
Patient safety
is our top priority,
which is why MicroBiome Bank applies a more comprehensive screening protocol for donors than is required by the regulatory standards, including a multi-step process that takes into account latency periods.

MicroBiome Bank capsules
and their role in different conditions
Please review the options below and select the one you have contacted us about!
In addition to AutoBiome (for storing your own microbiota) and DiffBiome capsules (for curing Clostridium Difficile infections), MicroBiome Bank's other services are also for patients, but except for the two cases mentioned above, they may require the assistance of a specialist. We recommend that you consult your doctor before ordering any capsules. MicroBiome Bank does not provide patient care, the aim of the consultations is to develop a treatment protocol for each patient, which can be most effectively applied by the doctor of the specialty.

Visit Our Blog
Over the past decade, our knowledge about the human microbiota has exploded. At the same time, it is very difficult to filter out from the mass of information available the clinical trials, summaries and presentations that have a real and tangible relevance, that are understandable and maybe applied to the everyday clinical work. As of 1st December 2023, we will attempt to collect these articles on our page and comment them in plain language.
