Here's how to prepare your test

Before

Stay hydrated

Be sure to drink 2 glasses of water (~16 oz) at least an hour before collecting your blood samples. More hydration = better blood flow.

Plan a time that is best for completing your collection kit before its expiration date. Note that you will also need to mail the kit back within 24 hours after completion.

During

Clear a space on a flat surface and unbox your kit. Lay out the components within the box and familiarize yourself with the contents. Carefully read the instructions included in the box.

Prick your finger with the provided lancets by pressing down firmly until you hear a click and let the blood drip into the designated collection area. Try not to squeeze your finger.

Wrap it up!

Using the prepaid packaging label, mail your kit within 24 hours. If you do not mail your kit back within 24 hours the blood sample(s) may be voided. Your results will be ready in approximately 7 days. We'll be in touch as soon as they're ready to view.
