mescreen™ test

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to complete a mescreen™ test?

It only takes a few weeks to complete a mescreen™ test. Your easy-to-use home sample collection kit should arrive within 7 days of your order. Once your sample is returned and arrives in our lab, results are generally available within 2-3 weeks.

How is mescreen™ different from other health tests like DNA or microbiome testing?

While DNA and microbiome tests provide genetic or gut health insights, mescreen™ focuses specifically on mitochondrial function, offering a more direct view of your body’s energy production and cellular health, which affects all body functions.

How do I collect my sample at home?

mescreen™ provides a simple, easy-to-use at-home kit for sample collection. The kit comes with detailed instructions, and once you’ve collected your sample, you send it back to the lab in a prepaid package. It takes only a few drops of blood and less than 10 minutes.

How often should I perform the mescreen™ test?

Experts recommend periodic screening every 3 to 4 months when starting or adjusting a health plan with your practitioner. Once an optimal plan is established, less frequent monitoring is advised—typically every 6 months or longer. However, it is recommended to monitor at least annually once your results fall within the optimal range.

Can mescreen™ help with fatigue or low energy?

Yes, by identifying mitochondrial dysfunction or inefficiency, mescreen™ can help explain why you may be experiencing fatigue or low energy. mescreen™ provides tailored recommendations based on your results, as well as access to expert consultations and additional learning resources.
