What does the Wellsprout Gut Microbiome Test measure?

Your test uses comprehensive shotgun metagenomic sequencing, the most detailed method available for gut microbiome analysis, to identify bacterial species at strain-level resolution. You'll see which species are present, their abundance levels, your Shannon diversity score, overall microbiome composition, and your Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio. Beyond composition, we analyze functional pathways, including protein digestion, fibre fermentation, and vitamin biosynthesis, and how your microbiome affects 6 major health systems: brain, gut, heart, liver, immunity, and longevity.
