BugSpeaks Launches Enhanced 2026 Gut Microbiome Report
Bengaluru-based Leucine Rich Bio, South Asia’s leading microbiome company, has unveiled the 2026 edition of its BugSpeaks Gut Microbiome Report, marking a significant step toward making gut health insights clearer, more actionable, and easier to understand for everyday users.
Since its founding in 2014, Leucine Rich Bio has focused on translating complex microbiome science into practical tools that help individuals and clinicians make informed wellness decisions. The latest BugSpeaks update reflects that mission, offering a redesigned report that turns dense gut data into intuitive visuals and simple categories.
Clearer Design for Faster Understanding
One of the most notable improvements in the 2026 BugSpeaks report is its emphasis on readability. Instead of overwhelming users with technical charts, the new format uses clear visuals, color coding, and simplified scales to highlight what’s working well in the gut and what may need attention.
A new 7-bin and 3-bin color-coded system allows users to quickly compare their gut microbial balance against healthy benchmarks. Green indicates optimal balance, while orange and red highlight potential areas for improvement—making the results instantly understandable even for first-time users.

Actionable Scores and Risk Insights
At the center of the report is the Rych Index Score, a gut health score ranging from 0 to 100. In the 2026 update, this score is paired with an easy-to-read visual dial, helping users quickly grasp where they stand. Green signals an ideal range, while red points to scope for improvement.
The report also introduces a more accessible risk overview, with three-level scoring for common gut-related concerns such as inflammation potential and leaky gut potential. Likelihoods of conditions like Type 2 Diabetes or IBS are presented as percentages, offering clearer context without alarmism.
Deeper Microbiome Detail, New Parameters
For users seeking deeper insight, BugSpeaks now provides expanded tables covering key gut species, including bacteria, archaea and fungi. These additions help users understand which microbes support a stable and resilient gut ecosystem.
New parameters—such as microplastics exposure risk potential and micronutrient bioavailability potential—add a fresh dimension to the report, reflecting emerging areas of microbiome research.
Science-Backed, Personalized Guidance
Despite the visual overhaul, BugSpeaks retains its trusted features, including personalized 12-week nutrition plans with Indian, Southeast Asian, Arabic and continental food options, probiotic suggestions, and insights into short-chain fatty acids and vitamins. All recommendations are individualized based on each user’s microbiota profile, with clear guidance to discuss results with a healthcare professional.
Advancing Gut Health Awareness
With the launch of the enhanced 2026 report, Leucine Rich Bio reinforces its position at the forefront of microbiome innovation in South Asia. By making gut health insights more approachable and practical, BugSpeaks aims to empower people to take informed steps toward better digestion, energy and overall well-being—one microbiome at a time.
