WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Your Good Bacteria’s Journey

So, what happens after we collect your stool? Donor selection is based on donor microbiome characteristics and general health history. Samples are tested and donations are processed into batches.

Routine medical screenings are performed on donors over time. A proprietary process inactivates numerous potential pathogens and isolates and preserves bacterial spores.

An inactivation process kills live bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi that might come in to minimize risk to potential patients and a comprehensive purification process removes unwanted infectious agents before encapsulation.

The processed donated material results in oral capsules for potential use as an orally administered microbiome therapy or for other research and development purposes.
