Gut Microbiome Testing in Singapore
The microbial ecosystem in your gut shapes digestion, immunity, mood, inflammation and metabolism. We sequence the microorganisms present in your sample and report both who is there and what they are functionally doing.

Skor kepelbagaian: 72 / 100 - Melebihi purata
Illustrative example, not a patient result. The diversity score is one component of a fuller profile.
Apa yang diukur
Species identification
Bacteria and other microorganisms present in your gut, identified from the DNA in your sample.
Kepelbagaian mikrob
Skor kepelbagaian berserta keseimbangan relatif antara organisma berfaedah dan oportunistik.
Profil gen berfungsi
Apa yang mikrob anda sebenarnya boleh lakukan - penghasilan asid lemak rantai pendek, sintesis vitamin, kapasiti metabolik - bukan sekadar siapa yang ada di sana.
Penanda disbiosis dan keradangan
Tanda yang dikaitkan dengan risiko usus bocor, keradangan kronik, dan isyarat imun yang berubah.
Bagaimana ujian ini berfungsi
Sampel
Kit pengumpulan najis di rumah, stabil pada suhu bilik selama beberapa hari - tidak perlu disejukkan.
Tempoh Pusing Ganti
Your personal health concierge confirms the reporting timeline for your laboratory when your sample is collected.
Kaedah
DNA sequencing of the microorganisms in your stool sample, mapped against reference databases.
Mengapa kaedah ini
The report is read alongside your bloods and body composition by our medical team, then translated into a practical plan in an action-plan session. A test result on its own is not a plan.
Apa yang anda akan pelajari
- Sama ada kepelbagaian mikrob anda berada dalam julat yang sihat.
- Spesies berfaedah yang kekurangan dalam diri anda - dan organisma oportunistik yang mungkin berlebihan.
- Kapasiti berfungsi untuk pengeluaran asid lemak rantaian pendek, sintesis vitamin B, metabolisme asid hempedu.
- Penanda yang mencadangkan disbiosis, keradangan gred rendah, atau fungsi penghalang yang terjejas.
- Strategi diet dan prebiotik diperibadikan yang berkemungkinan mengubah ekosistem anda.
Why gut health matters for healthspan
Healthspan is the number of years you spend in good functional health. The gut microbiome sits upstream of several systems that decide that: how you extract and store energy, how your immune system is trained, and how much low-grade inflammation you carry.[1]
Fibre-fermenting bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, which feed the cells lining the colon and help maintain the barrier that keeps bacterial products out of the bloodstream. Reduced production of these compounds is a recurring finding in metabolic and inflammatory disease.[2]
Loss of microbial diversity has been described across obesity, type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and cardiovascular disease, and in ageing cohorts a microbiome that drifts toward an unusual, individualised profile has been associated with better health and survival in older adults, while a conventional profile tracked with poorer outcomes.[3], [4]
Diet is the strongest and fastest lever available. Controlled feeding work shows the composition of the gut ecosystem shifting within days of a major dietary change, which is why a repeat test after a deliberate dietary period is informative.[5]
Much of this literature is associative, and a microbiome profile cannot tell you that you have or will develop a disease. The report is a map of your current ecosystem and a baseline you can move.
Reading your report
Diversity score
How many different organisms you carry and how evenly they are represented. Higher diversity is generally associated with a more resilient ecosystem in adults.
Beneficial organisms
Levels of the fibre-fermenting and butyrate-producing species associated with barrier integrity, with a note where any are notably low.
Opportunistic organisms
Species that are unremarkable in small numbers but unhelpful when over-represented, reported as relative abundance rather than a pass or fail.
Functional capacity
What your microbes are equipped to do: short-chain fatty acid production, B-vitamin synthesis and bile acid metabolism, which often matters more than the species list itself.
Dysbiosis and inflammation signatures
Patterns associated with impaired barrier function and low-grade inflammation, flagged for your doctor to read against your bloods.
Doctor's interpretation
Your ecosystem read alongside symptoms, diet history and blood results in the action-plan session, then translated into specific dietary changes.
What moves the result
Fibre diversity
The number of different plant foods eaten each week is one of the most consistent correlates of microbial diversity in population studies.
Fermented foods
Regular fermented food intake has been associated with increased microbiome diversity and lower inflammatory markers in a controlled dietary trial.
Targeted prebiotics
Specific fibres feed specific organisms. Your report indicates which are likely to be worth adding for your profile rather than a generic supplement.
Antibiotic stewardship
Courses of antibiotics reshape the ecosystem for weeks to months. Where a course is clinically needed, we plan the recovery period around it.
Alcohol and ultra-processed intake
Both are associated with reduced diversity and with signatures of impaired barrier function.
Sleep, stress and exercise
The gut-brain axis runs both ways. Sleep debt and sustained stress alter gut function, and regular exercise is associated with a more diverse profile.
Untuk siapa ia ditujukan
- Sesiapa yang mempunyai masalah penghadaman kronik - kembung perut, tidak teratur, intoleransi makanan.
- Pesakit dengan gejala autoimun, keradangan berulang atau masalah kulit.
- Atlet dan individu berprestasi tinggi yang mengoptimumkan pemulihan, tenaga dan imuniti.
- Sesiapa yang membuat perubahan diet yang ketara dan ingin mengukur kesannya.
Bila perlu diulang: Setiap 3-6 bulan semasa mengubah diet atau merawat disbiosis secara aktif; jika tidak, setiap tahun.
Bagaimana ia memenuhi tiga tonggak utama
Tiada ujian tunggal yang menentukan usia biologi. The mikrobiom terletak di samping dua lagi tonggak data jangka hayat - setiap satunya mendedahkan sesuatu yang tidak dapat dilihat oleh yang lain. Gabungkannya untuk gambaran paling lengkap yang boleh ditawarkan oleh perubatan semasa.
Included in these tiers
Every tier includes a pre-test consultation, sample collection at our Orchard Road clinic, laboratory analysis, clinician-led interpretation, a written report and an action-plan session.

Mikrobiom - soalan lazim
Jawapan yang jelas, ditulis oleh pasukan klinikal kami. Ketik mana-mana soalan untuk pautan terusnya, atau hubungi Concierge Peribadi anda untuk perkara lain.
Your microbial diversity score, the balance of beneficial and opportunistic organisms, and a functional profile covering short-chain fatty acid production, vitamin synthesis and bile acid metabolism. Your concierge confirms the exact panel and laboratory before your kit ships.
Antibiotik dalam tempoh 4-6 minggu sebelumnya mengubah mikrobiom anda secara bermakna - jika boleh, kami menjadualkan pensampelan di luar tetingkap itu. Probiotik dan kebanyakan suplemen lain biasanya boleh diteruskan; concierge anda mengesahkan butiran sebelum kit anda dihantar.
Gut bacteria ferment fibre into short-chain fatty acids that maintain the gut barrier and influence inflammation, immune regulation and how you handle glucose and lipids. Loss of diversity is a recurring finding across metabolic and inflammatory disease, and in older adults a distinctive rather than conventional microbiome profile has been associated with better health and survival.
No. It maps your ecosystem and flags patterns associated with dysbiosis and inflammation. Diagnosing irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, coeliac disease or infection requires clinical assessment and its own tests, which your doctor will arrange if indicated.

What this test does not tell you
- It is not a diagnostic test for coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, infection or cancer. Those require their own investigations.
- There is no single healthy microbiome. Results are read as a profile with strengths and gaps, not a score out of ten.
- A stool sample reflects the lower gut. It says little about the small intestine, where some symptoms originate.
- Day-to-day variation is real. Recent meals, travel and illness all move the picture, which is why sampling conditions are standardised.
- Antibiotics in the previous four to six weeks meaningfully change results, so sampling is scheduled outside that window where possible.
- Most published associations are correlational. A finding suggests a direction to work in rather than proving cause.
