Sampling your test at home

From kit to insight — in 6 calm steps.

Sampling at home is simple and non-invasive. You collect a small sample of saliva, stool and urine yourself; with the new kit you read your urine with a test strip and your phone. The kit contains everything you need, with clear instructions. Plan it calmly: ideally do everything on the same day.

1

Choose and receive your kit

You order your analysis online. Within a few working days your kit lands in the post, with all the sample tubes, a return envelope and a short guide. Simply keep the kit at room temperature until you're ready to start.

Before you begin: put the kit in a set place and have a quick read through the enclosed sheet. That way you'll know in advance what each tube is for.
2

Register your kit

Each sample carries a unique code. Link that code to you online, so the lab knows exactly whose sample it is and your results end up with your profile. This takes a few minutes.

  • Scan or type your kit's code into the portal.
  • Check your name and email address — that's where your message will arrive.
  • Register before you collect the samples, not afterward.

Collect your samples — at home, at your own pace

This is the heart of the sampling. You collect a small sample of each type. Most of it is best done in the morning, before breakfast.

Saliva — Wait at least 30 minutes after eating, drinking, brushing your teeth or smoking. Let the saliva run gently into the tube up to the marked line and seal it well.
Stool — Use the enclosed paper or collector sheet, take a small amount with the little stick (a pea-sized amount is enough) and screw the tube shut. More is not better.
Urine with strip (new kit) — You use the urine test strip from your kit. Open portal.myinnerselfie.com/urine on your phone and hold the dry strip inside the frame. Then urinate on the strip for two seconds, or place it in the urinal, and confirm on the screen. Your phone reads the strip and saves your reading; the strip can then go in the bin. Morning urine gives the most representative picture.
Urine with cup and tube (older kit) — Ideally collect your morning urine in the cup and fill the tube up to the line. This gives the most representative picture.
Handy to know: do everything on the same day: saliva, stool and urine (tube or strip). Afterward keep the closed tubes cool until you send them off together.

Fill in the short questionnaire

A few questions about your medication, medical history, allergies and lifestyle refine your profile. That way your report isn't a single number, but a picture that fits YOU. Take a moment over it — honest answers give the sharpest picture.

  • You'll find the questionnaire in the same portal where you registered your kit.
  • You can save partway through and continue later.
  • Your data stays private and is only used to refine your analysis.

Which kit do you have? There are three programs, each with its own questionnaire. Check the logo on your kit leaflet.

My InnerSelfie — you complete the questionnaire at portal.myinnerselfie.com (you create an account there).

FarmacoBiomics — for patients through a healthcare provider — you fill in the questionnaire at portal.myinnerselfie.com/vragenlijsten/farmacobiomics.

CosmoPulse — for athletes through their club — you fill in the questionnaire at portal.myinnerselfie.com/vragenlijsten/cosmopulse.

Send your samples back

Put the closed tubes in the enclosed return envelope and post them as described in the guide. Ideally send early in the week, so your samples don't sit around over the weekend.

Check before sending: are all the tubes properly closed and registered? Is the questionnaire filled in? Then your package is ready for the post.

Discover your insights — you're in charge

As soon as the lab is finished, your personal Cockpit appears with your themes — clear and in plain language. You read what your body needs and which concrete steps make a difference today. Questions along the way? Your personal guide HostHero is ready 24/7, in your own language.

Your picture is yours. You buy your analysis once — that complete picture stays yours. Want to keep your insights up to date and stay supported? Then you choose a monthly plan. You may, but you don't have to.
