How Testing Kits Work
Some testing kits must be ordered by a doctor; some kits you can order yourself. The good news is that there are plenty of online doctors that can order the tests for you!
Simply order the test. When it arrives in the mail, follow the instructions (you’ll need to take samples of saliva, blood, urine, or other biological materials). Pack the samples in the provided packaging, label them appropriately, and mail your kit to the lab.
Most results take a few days to a few weeks to receive.
Benefits of At-Home Testing Kits
At-home testing kits allow you to be checked for thousands of genetic biomarkers, vitamin deficiencies, allergies, and more — right from the comfort of your own home. You don’t need to worry about making an appointment at a lab, commuting to the appointment, waiting, and finally being tested.
