Shotgun Metagenomics Test

You are doing everything right. Your gut might disagree.

We are here to help your gut reveal all its secrets.

Book Your Test

Nothing serious. Nothing that fully goes away.

Bloated
Foggy
Stiffness

You feel bloated some days, foggy on others, occasionally stiff for no clear reason. None of it is serious enough to worry about, but none of it fully goes away either. You have tried adjusting this and that as symptoms come up, yet nothing quite gets to the bottom of it.

See what is going on, and how to feel like yourself again

The shotgun test shows you exactly what is happening in your gut, down to species and gene level.

Test at species and gene level

See What Is Going On

Thanks to the report and dashboard, you can see exactly what is going on in your gut.

Feel Like Yourself Again

More importantly, see how to feel sharper, better, and like yourself again.

What the research shows

Your gut produces 90% of your body's serotonin

Your mood, mental clarity and sense of wellbeing are not just brain chemistry. They are gut chemistry. The majority of serotonin is produced by gut bacteria. When your microbiome is disrupted, your mental sharpness often follows.

Yano et al. 2015, Cell · Indigenous bacteria from the gut microbiota regulate host serotonin biosynthesis

Gut inflammation is the hidden driver of systemic symptoms

Low-grade inflammation driven by LPS-producing gut bacteria is linked to brain fog, fatigue and systemic symptoms that are real but rarely traced back to their source. It circulates silently without triggering conventional clinical flags.

A diverse microbiome is the single strongest predictor of healthy ageing

Studies of centenarians consistently find one thing in common: exceptional gut microbiome diversity. Diversity predicts immune resilience, metabolic health and cognitive function across decades. It is measurable, and it is improvable.

Biagi et al. 2016, Current Biology · Gut microbiota and extreme longevity

Your gut microbiome can change meaningfully in as little as two weeks

Targeted dietary changes produce measurable shifts in bacterial composition within days. You do not need months to start feeling different. The gut responds faster than almost any other system in the body.

Gene-Level Measurement. Not Guesswork.

The Wellsprout Shotgun Test is the only gut health test in Singapore that measures what your bacteria are actually doing at gene level, not just which species are present. That is the difference between knowing your microbiome and understanding it.

You might be wondering if this is for you

"But I already do everything right."

You already lead a healthy life. You are doing all the work by being active and careful about what you put in your body. And you are doing everything right. They are simply things that are hidden in your gut that need revealing.

"Isn't this for athletes, or people who are unwell?"

This is not just for athletes or the clinically minded. It is for anyone who wants to truly understand their own body, at any age.

"Maybe it's too late for me to start."

It is never too late to start, and this is exactly what we are offering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the test measure?

Your gut microbiome test uses advanced 16S rRNA sequencing to analyze bacterial composition. You will learn which species are present, their abundance levels, species diversity score, F/B ratio, and how your microbiome affects 5 major health systems, including brain, gut, heart, liver, and immunity.

Who should take this test?

Ideal if you experience:

  • Bloating, gas, or irregular digestion
  • Afternoon energy crashes
  • Brain fog or poor concentration
  • Stubborn weight despite healthy eating
  • Wanting to optimise health proactively

Do not take if: currently menstruating, experiencing diarrhea, taking antibiotics (wait 2 weeks), or pregnant or breastfeeding.

How do I prepare for the test?

Maintain your usual diet before testing. For the most accurate results:

  • Avoid probiotic supplements for 7 days before collection
  • Limit alcohol for 24 hours before
  • Wait at least 2 weeks after finishing antibiotics
  • Collect your sample when not menstruating or experiencing diarrhea
When will I get my results?

Results are delivered digitally in 2 to 3 weeks after the laboratory receives your sample. You will receive an email notification when your interactive dashboard is ready to view.

Is this test available outside Singapore?

Currently, this test is only available for customers in Singapore. We ship test kits within Singapore and samples must be returned to our Singapore laboratory for analysis.

How often should I retest?

We recommend retesting every 3 to 6 months to track improvements in your microbiome diversity and health scores. This allows you to measure the impact of dietary and lifestyle changes with objective data.

Tradition Meets Modern Microbiome Science

Traditional Chinese Medicine has long viewed digestion as central to overall wellbeing. Today, modern microbiome research continues to explore the connection between gut health, energy, skin, and digestion.

Wellsprout combines 27 whole plants inspired by these traditional principles and modern gut-health research.

Self-care Inside-out

"I’ve tried a lot of greens, but this one is officially a keeper. The flavour profile has a subtle kick of mint that makes it feel fresh rather than "grassy". It blends very easily and I’ve been mixing mine into yogurt for that added probiotic boost. This is truly self-care from the inside-out."
