Tests

Your sample is stable for 30 days at room temperature in the tube, so mail it back right away.

For all home tests, you have up to one year to activate your test and send in your sample.  For Gut Health, after collecting a sample, lease send it in right away as the sample is only stable in the tube for 30 days.
For Biological Age, you have 6 months to use your lab order requisition form. After, it will expire and will not be eligible for a refund. 

Use the pipette to collect a watery stool and suction 1-2mL of the watery stool into the tube. Use the purple coring brush to try to collect any formed pieces form the sample.

Please contact us and we can discuss options for getting you a new kit.

This is not a diagnostic test. Thorne's Gut Health Test is designed to identify all the microorganisms in a sample and help you to understand how they may be relating to your gut health symptoms, such as constipation, diarrhea, inflammation, gas, acne, brain fog, and more, but not specifically to treat infections, such as those caused by parasites.

Results are reviewed by a network of doctors, but we recommend you follow up with your primary care provider or a Thorne Professional about your results. We provide lifestyle, dietary, and supplement recommendations to help maintain healthy levels of biomarkers and organs evaluated in this test. Please remember, biomarkers can vary significantly between tests with lifestyle changes, and even day to day from hydration or dietary reasons, therefore, follow-up testing may be recommended if results are unexpected.

The Biological Age test uses the Klemera-Doubal statistical algorithm that has been trained with hundreds of thousands of biomarkers from our database. Scores represent estimates of ages based on the database, which is continuously progressing with the machine learning and AI techniques involved. Read more about the algorithm and statistical method and why Thorne uses blood biomarkers rather than DNA methylation or telomeres for this advanced aging product.

The Biological Age test will tell you if your blood values are clinically normal in the appendix, but the Ages are based on is your comparison to others your age. The algorithms used have been trained on hundreds of thousands of blood biomarkers from adults and help you to understand how your lifestyle has been affecting your body, even if you aren’t considered ‘clinically abnormal’. Consider this evaluation a new way to look at how your body is aging.

We estimate it should be within 3-7 days of getting your blood draw complete that your Biological Age report will be ready. You will be notified by email to login to your Thorne account and review it!
