WHY DONATE?

HARNESSING THE
POWER OF POOP

Your gut is home to trillions of different living microbes that contribute to your digestion, health, and overall well-being. The gut microbiome can help fight infections, so with every stool donation, you are providing us with the essential microbes we need to continue our valuable work.

SCIENCE THAT
SAVES LIVES

Our company is helping heal patient’s guts with microbiome-based technologies. Stool donations are used to manufacture and develop innovative therapies to help prevent recurrent C. difficile infections and other debilitating diseases and help transform the guts of patients around the world.

Stool donation is a powerful way to support individuals facing serious gut microbiome disruptions. Join and get involved with a local community who are dedicated to making an impact through the power of their microbiome.
