KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In conjunction with World Digestive Health Day, SpaceGut, Malaysia's first AI-powered at-home Gut Microbiome Test Kit, empowers individuals to improve skin health and sleep quality through personalised diet plans based on advanced gut analysis. By identifying specific bacterial species related to inflammation, metabolic function, and immune modulation, SpaceGut helps address common skin issues and overall well-being challenges like anxiety and stress that reduce sleep quality.
Beyond Digestion: The Gut's Critical Role in Skin Health and Sleep Quality
With rising awareness about the importance of gut health, common misconceptions have also emerged, such as the belief that gut issues solely affect digestion and can be easily fixed with a single probiotic. In reality, everyone's gut microbiome is unique and influenced by age, diet, lifestyle and environment. Therefore, a personalised approach is essential.
Skin health, for instance, is closely linked to gut imbalances, which can begin as early as childhood due to factors like antibiotic use, poor diet, or birth method. These imbalances often worsen in adulthood due to stress, consumption of processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles, reducing beneficial bacterial strains such as Akkermansia, Faecalibacterium, Alistipes Lactobacillus, and Blautia — all of which are vital in reducing inflammation and maintaining healthy skin.
The gut is also critical for sleep quality. Often referred to as the "second brain", the gut is responsible for around 90% of the body's serotonin and over 50% of dopamine precursors – key neurotransmitters that influence mood and sleep.
A deficiency in beneficial bacteria like Faecalibacterium, Bifidobacterium, Eubacterium, or Lactobacillus can lead to difficulty falling asleep, heightened anxiety, brain fog, and increased stress.
General advice like "avoid sugar" only scratches the surface. The core issue lies in overgrowth or deficiency of specific bacterial strains in an individual's gut. This is where personalised microbiome testing has the potential to be transformative.
SpaceGut's Science-Backed, AI-Driven Solution
SpaceGut leverages next-generation sequencing and AI to provide personalised insights into gut health. It evaluates microbial diversity, abundance, and activity, across more than 30 health-related markers such as macronutrient metabolism, metabolic rate, sleep, and vitamin synthesis.
Using a proprietary bioinformatics database of over 50,000 samples, SpaceGut's AI engine analyses an individual's microbiome to generate fully customised dietary plans, in lieu of general suggestions like "eat more fiber" or "take probiotics."
Users receive a comprehensive food report that scores over 300 foods and beverages (across 10+ categories) from 0 to 10 based on their compatibility with the user's unique gut health profile. These include vegetables, fruits, legumes, proteins, seafood and carbohydrates, offering precise nutritional guidance.
"The AI-powered microbiome analysis provides a tailored nutrition strategy targeting specific imbalances in each individual flora. By following this evidence-backed diet guide, users can rebalance their microbiome to improve immune function, mental wellness, skin health, digestive function, and overall health," remarked Datuk Tony Wong, Founder of SpaceGut
Based on its published studies and company data, SpaceGut finds that that over 80% of customers who follow their personalised plans experience improved digestion and overall well-being.

The Gut-Skin-Wellness Connection: How Your Microbiome Affects More Than Just Digestion
ZHUHAI, China, Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Kingsoft Office, a leading Chinese office software company, and global IT services provider, FPT, today announced the signing of a Strategic Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Under the MoU, the two parties will collaborate closely on the localization of WPS 365 in Vietnam, user growth initiatives, joint solution development, and global delivery services, with the shared goal of accelerating digital transformation for organizational users in Vietnam and across global markets.
Deepening Engagement in Vietnam to Accelerate WPS 365 Localization
As one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing digital economies, Vietnam's digital economy accounted for 18.3% of GDP in 2024, growing at over 20%—more than three times the country's overall GDP growth rate. This rapid expansion positions Vietnam as a key global growth market for collaborative office solutions.
With digital transformation elevated to a national priority by the Vietnamese government, demand for intelligent and integrated workplace tools continues to rise. This strategic partnership is well aligned with Vietnam's market-specific localization requirements and evolving enterprise needs.
Pursuant to the MoU, Kingsoft Office and FPT will jointly advance the deep localization of WPS 365 in Vietnam, including Vietnamese language optimization and the development of localized features. Leveraging their respective product, technology, and solution capabilities, the two parties will pursue functional integration and co-develop joint solutions.
Through joint go-to-market and marketing initiatives, the partners aim to deliver co-branded, end-to-end intelligent office solutions tailored to the Vietnamese market, accelerating adoption across industries and driving user growth among enterprise, government, and individual segments.
Kingsoft Office has previously established a strong user base in Vietnam, with nearly 5 million monthly active devices achieved through the Vietnamese version of WPS Office. This has laid a solid foundation for the localization and market expansion of WPS 365.
Building on WPS Office, WPS 365 integrates core workplace applications, including messaging, meetings, calendars, email, and task management into a unified platform. With features such as compatibility with mainstream Office formats, intelligent productivity capabilities, seamless cross-device synchronization, and real-time multi-user collaboration, WPS 365 enables Vietnamese users to manage end-to-end work processes within a single platform, significantly enhancing productivity and collaboration efficiency.
This partnership is expected to further strengthen both parties' combined capabilities in Vietnam's digital workplace and delivery ecosystem, injecting new momentum into the digital transformation of organizational users nationwide.
Expanding Global Reach Through Professional Delivery Service
The MoU also reflects a shared commitment by both parties to jointly expand into global markets. Under the partnership, FPT will serve as Kingsoft Office's global delivery partner, providing WPS 365 implementation, training, and technical support in international markets, including Vietnam and Japan.
Kingsoft Office will provide product, technical, and enablement support, while both parties will work together to enhance customer success and overall service delivery capabilities across overseas markets. In parallel, Kingsoft Office will leverage its local ecosystem resources to support FPT's expansion in China, jointly empowering the global growth of Chinese enterprises.
