Frequently Asked Questions – MAT

How will this MAT test help my gut health?

You can’t improve what you don’t measure. The MAT test gives you a clear snapshot of your gut health, along with simple feedback to guide your next steps. It turns gut health from guesswork into something you can track and improve.

How easy is the test to use?

Very easy. The kit includes clear, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process. You only need a tiny amount of physiological material, and the rest is simply flushed away. The steps are straightforward—similar to using a COVID test. You shake a small tube with liquid and place a drop onto the test strip.

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.

I am already doing everything right. What is the value of this test?

Even with a clean diet and daily supplements, you might be missing the mark. This test shows if your gut bacteria are actually thriving— or just surviving.

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.
