Did you know that there are trillions of bacteria in and on your body? The Gut Plus kit helps you learn about what lives in your gut, plus one other site (nose, mouth, genitals or skin). Explore your inner universe and learn about the bacteria that live inside of you. Here's how it works: 1. Click “Buy now” -- yay! 2. We’ll send your kit to you through the mail. 3. Collect your samples and send them back to us in the enclosed prepaid envelope (Yes, the gut sample is a quick swab of your toilet paper.) Also, there are a few pages of survey questions and registration information. 4. We run your samples through our state-of-the-art DNA sequencing lab at the University of California, San Francisco By sequencing your bacteria with uBiome, you will learn: - What's in your sample - How you correlate with others - How you correlate with existing studies uBiome has the largest private dataset of human microbiome samples in the world, so by participating you can learn about yourself while contributing to the world’s understanding of the microbiome. NOTE: uBiome is not a diagnostic test. We can give you valuable information about what is in your microbiome and how it correlates with others. The information is for research purposes only.

Tracking changes in my diet
I thought this kit was great! I have been altering my diet by drinking yoghurt and taking probiotics. I'm buying 2 of these kits so I can see how these changes in my diet effect my microbiome. I'm super excited to see the results!

Strings Attached
I tried the kit for the gut. The kit arrived in a timely manner with easy to follow instructions. There was also an extra vile in case there was a problem. So far so good. I followed instructions exactly and mailed in my sample. 6 weeks later and no news, so I e-mailed the company. They promptly answered and said my results were ready and to go on line and check them. (Why had they not informed me before hand?) Then things went down hill from there quickly. First off, if you do not agree to participate in their study and give very much personal information, they they will not read you your results. This was never made clear before I bought the kit! Secondly, when I down loaded the 2 sets of data, they were not readable- neither the raw data nor the taxonomy. In fact, the taxonomy download was pure gibberish. I tried several times but still the same results. I am in contact with the company to either tell me my results or to give a refund.
