At-home microbiome testing
Test kits that people use at home to sample their gut or vaginal microbiome, with lab results and guidance afterward.
A customer collects a sample at home and mails it to a lab, and the company reports which bacteria and other microbes it found. Products differ in which microbiome they test and for which ages, who reviews the results, and whether a clinician can prescribe treatment when the results call for it.
To compare them, check which sample types each test covers, how the results are explained, whether prescription care is available, and the price of single tests and memberships, which insurance usually does not cover.
