About this test
This test sequences microbial DNA in a stool sample and reports the relative abundance of the bacteria and other microbes living in your gut. It does not diagnose disease and there is no single universal healthy range; instead it gives you a profile of your microbial community and how it compares to reference populations. People often use it to investigate bloating, irregular bowel habits, gas, or food reactions, and to see how diet, fiber, probiotics, or antibiotics shift the ecosystem. Concerning symptoms such as blood in stool, persistent diarrhea, or unexplained weight loss deserve direct clinical evaluation rather than a microbiome profile. Its real value is as a baseline you can re-sample against to watch your gut change over time.
Consider it if
- Ongoing bloating, gas, irregularity, or food sensitivities you want to understand
- Establishing a baseline before changing your diet or fiber intake
- Tracking how probiotics or a recent course of antibiotics shifted your gut
- Curious how your microbial diversity compares to reference populations
Why are there member and non-member prices?
Members get Mito's no-markup price on tests. The non-member price is the standard price.
Mito membership is $9/month and unlocks member pricing across the catalog. It's how Mito is supported, so we don't have to mark up your tests or earn more when you buy more. Your member savings are applied at checkout.

Pre-test considerations
No fasting required. Collect the stool sample per the kit instructions and register it before mailing. Recent antibiotics, probiotics, and major diet changes shift your microbial profile, so note them and, for comparable retests, sample under similar conditions.

Frequently asked questions
View all FAQsHow does pricing work?
Every test shows the member price next to the standard non-member price, so you can see what membership saves you. Your price is our cost plus a small amount to run the service, never a profit on the test itself; Mito makes its money on the $9 membership, not on marking up your tests. Members pay even less, applied at checkout (membership is $9/mo, and you still pay the lab’s order fee). Prices are itemized before you pay, with no hidden fees.
Where do I get tested?
Choose a partner lab (Quest, Labcorp, or BioReference) at checkout. If your cart spans multiple tests, we consolidate the whole order onto a single lab so you only make one visit.
Is this eligible for HSA/FSA?
Yes. This test is HSA/FSA eligible, and you can pay with your HSA/FSA card at checkout.
When will I get my results?
Your results are typically visible within 1-2 business days of your lab visit. A clinician then reviews them, and your full analysis and personalized action plan — with clear next steps — follow once that review is complete. Specialty assays and at-home kits take longer; each test shows its turnaround before you buy.
Do I need a doctor’s order?
No. Mito provides the lab order for you, so you can book and get tested without a separate doctor visit.
