A clear plan from our microbiome specialist so you know exactly what to do next.
What You'll Learn From Your Results
Your gut diversity score. The more species we find, the stronger the signal for a resilient, well-functioning microbiome.
Levels of bacteria linked to your metabolic, immune, and gut-barrier health.
Any red flags for gut lining issues, like elevated mucus-degrading species or opportunistic pathogens.
Common parasites or infection-causing bacteria that could be affecting how you feel.
How does our technology compare?
Outdated 16S amplicon sequencing offers a low-resolution view of the microbiome, with a high rate of false positives. Wellsprout's shotgun metagenomic sequencing reads every organism in your sample down to the species and strain level, mapping microbes, functions, and pathogens other tests can only guess at.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the test measure?
Your gut microbiome test uses advanced shotgun metagenomics sequencing to comprehensively analyze bacterial, viral, fungi and other microorganism composition. You will learn which species are present, their abundance levels, species diversity score, F/B ratios, 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 3 to 4 weeks after the laboratory receives your sample. Shotgun metagenomic sequencing reads far more data per sample than older methods, so it takes a little longer to process, but gives you species-level accuracy in return. You will receive an email notification when your interactive dashboard is ready to view.
Where is this test available?
This test is currently available for customers in Singapore and Australia. We ship test kits to both regions, and samples are returned to our laboratory for analysis.
How often should I retest?
We recommend retesting every 3 to 4 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.
