A microbiome is a collection of bacteria and other microorganisms found in a particular environment. There are many different microbiomes to be found in and on the human body – such as on the skin, in your mouth, and of course, in your gut. The gut microbiome contains one of the highest concentrations of microorganisms in the body, and can weigh up to 2 kilograms!

Your gut microbiome is largely responsible for digestion, but has recently been found to contribute to many other aspects of your health.

The test involves collecting a small sample of your stool, and filling in the AMILI Lifestyle Questionnaire.

Yes. Completing the questionnaire gives us a much more comprehensive overview of your lifestyle and dietary habits. This will help us generate the most accurate microbiome insights and personalised recommendations for you.

We provide complimentary delivery on all orders within Singapore.

Your kit will be dispatched within 3 working days of receiving your order. After that, it will typically take between 3-5 working days for your kit to be delivered to you. In light of the current COVID-19 situation, please allow for some unexpected delays in shipping.

We’re sorry for the wait! If you haven’t received your kit after 10 working days, please send us an email at lifesprouts@cordlife.com.

Unfortunately, AMILI kits are currently only available for sale and use in Singapore. We are working on this and hope to ship internationally soon!

You should collect your sample at a time that is most representative of your normal dietary and lifestyle habits. Events like travel, pregnancy, and even taking medication can cause changes in your microbiome. We recommend following your typical diet and lifestyle for two weeks before collecting your sample.

Antibiotics cause drastic changes in your microbiome. We ask that you wait for 2 to 3 weeks after you’ve completed your course before collecting your sample. This will ensure that your sample accurately reflects your typical microbiome.

Yes! If the vitamins and supplements are part of your typical daily routine, please continue taking them.

There are a padded envelope, Ziploc bag, and absorbent pad included in your AMILI kit. After you have collected your sample, place the tube and absorbent pad in the Ziploc bag, and put the Ziploc bag in the padded envelope. Then, just pop the envelope in the closest mailbox and you’re good to go! We’ll send you an update when our processing lab received your sample.

We’re sorry about that! Please label the envelope with the following address:

AMILI
89 Science Park Drive The Rutherford, #03-09

Please also drop us an email at lifesprouts@cordlife.com to let us know this happened so we can ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Please also attach a $1.50 local stamp onto the envelope.
