MeBO-Biolab gut dysbiosis study : Tester 6 results

As part of MeBO Research's mission to proactively investigate systemic body odors, it was decided to do a small study looking at some markers of gut dysbiosis to see if there was any pattern, with the participants kindly paying for their own tests. So far it does look as if a sign of gut yeast infection and increased gut permeability to varying degrees are relatively common, although nothing conclusive can be said. While the study is not logistically reliable (for instance, we cannot be sure if each person has the same cause of their body odor), it is seen as a starting point in getting the community to proactively use testing to get answers.

Here are the results of tester 6.
