Carbiotix (publ) ("Carbiotix") announces today that the company has signed a collaboration agreement with Food Marble Digestive Health Ltd. (“Food Marble”) of Dublin, Ireland, a leading provider of consumer digestive health tracking devices, to conduct a eight-week study to examine the correlation between digestive health and gut health during Q4 2019.

Food Marble (www.foodmarble.com) is a leading provider of consumer digestive health tracking services, offering the Food Marble AIRE, the first portable breath test and app to measure digestive health. Food Marble currently has over 12,000 customers using the Food Marble AIRE device from across the globe. The eight-week study, planned for Q4 2019, will be managed by Food Marble in Ireland with a group of 20 individuals and using two different prebiotic fibers, supported by gut health analysis services provided by Carbiotix in Sweden.

Kristofer Cook, CEO for Carbiotix, comments

“This collaboration agreement and study is a very important step on route to increasing the frequency and amount of gut health data that can be made available for an individual by making it easier to collect this data. By understanding the correlation between digestive health and gut health, one will be able to leverage the Food Marble digestive tracker to help diagnose and monitor gut health on a daily basis, supported and validated by more comprehensive gut health data based on fecal sampling. Eventually, the platform could be used to modify the dosing of Carbiotix therapeutic products in real-time. This first study will demonstrate whether the proposed correlation exists and serve as a basis to evaluate future collaborative opportunities between Carbiotix and Food Marble with regards to studies and the bundling of products and services.”
