Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our Microbiome Activity Tracker.

In which countries will the MAT kit product be available?

The MAT will be first made available to people living in the continental United States. If you are not in the lower 48 states of the US, please add your information expressing interest in our Contact Us page as we can gauge demand as we expand.

Is the MAT kit FDA approved?

No, the MAT is not meant to diagnose or treat any medical conditions. It is a tool that is meant for general wellness purposes only.

How often do I need to repeat the test?

It depends on your goals. If you want to check whether a change in your diet or lifestyle is making a difference, you can test every 1–2 weeks, starting with a baseline before you make the change. Once you’ve reached a MAT score and routine you’re happy with, repeating the test about once a month is a good way to maintain and stay on track.

Is a subscription required with a purchase?

Not at all—you’re in control. Use the MAT test as a one-time kit or choose a convenient multi-pack if you’d like the ease of regular testing. The choice is yours.

How does the MAT differ from other microbiome tests?

Most microbiome tests rely on laboratory sequencing, which can take weeks, cost hundreds of dollars, and generate long technical reports. The MAT test is different: it’s rapid, affordable, and easy to use at home. Instead of analyzing every microbe, it focuses on a key indicator of gut health—delivering a simple score with actionable feedback in minutes, not weeks.
