How is this different from a standard yeast infection or BV test at my doctor’s office?

Standard clinical tests are "diagnostic," meaning they only look for a specific disease or infection once you have symptoms. The BiomeFx™ Analysis is a comprehensive "ecosystem map." It uses Whole Genome Sequencing to identify the presence, abundance, and functional role of over 25+ species, identifying imbalances before they turn into chronic infections. bacteria yeast fungi

Can I take this test while on my period?

For the most accurate results, we recommend waiting until your menstrual cycle has completely finished. Menstrual blood can temporarily shift the pH and microbial diversity of the vaginal environment, which may skew the baseline data of your "normal" ecosystem.

What exactly am I looking for in the results?

We focus on Lactobacilli dominance. In a healthy vaginal microbiome, low diversity is actually the goal. We look for specific "peacekeeper" strains like L. crispatus. Your report will also identify "opportunistic" organisms—bacteria or fungi that are fine in small amounts but cause issues when they overgrow.

Does the kit test for STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections)?

The BiomeFx™ kit is a wellness and functional analysis tool, not a diagnostic STI panel. While it identifies many organisms associated with vaginal dysbiosis, if you suspect you have been exposed to a specific STI (like Chlamydia or Gonorrhea), you should consult a primary care physician for a dedicated diagnostic test.

How long does it take to get my results back?

Once our lab receives your sample, the Whole Genome Sequencing process typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. This timeframe ensures the highest level of accuracy as we map the DNA of your unique microbial fingerprint.

Can I use this test if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes. Understanding your vaginal microbiome is incredibly valuable during pregnancy, as the vaginal flora plays a critical role in the "seeding" of a baby's microbiome during birth. However, we always recommend sharing your Mastery Roadmap with your OB-GYN or midwife.

Should I stop taking my probiotics before I use the swab?

To get a true "baseline" of your current state, we recommend staying on your normal routine. If you are currently taking probiotics, the test will show us how well those strains are colonizing your environment. If you have recently finished a course of antibiotics, we recommend waiting at least 14 days before testing.

What if my results show a major imbalance?

Don't panic—this is why you are a part of Master Survivor University. Your results come with a personalized roadmap. Depending on your Community State Type (CST), we will recommend specific nutritional shifts, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted "biopredictives" to help you cultivate a resilient environment.

The Science of Feminine Resilience: BiomeFx™ Vaginal Microbiome Analysis

Beyond the Gut: Decode your unique microbial fingerprint to master your health from the inside out.

We have partnered with Microbiome Labs to bring you the gold standard in vaginal testing. While traditional tests only look for "infections," BiomeFx™ uses Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) to provide a 360-degree view of your ecosystem.

99.9% Specificity: No more "false positives" or missed nuances. We identify exactly what is living in your environment.
Beyond Culture Tests: Most doctors use culture tests that can only grow a few types of bacteria. Our DNA-based analysis identifies all Lactobacillus species and 26+ opportunistic organisms, including Candida.
Community State Typing (CST): We identify which of the 5 "Community State Types" you belong to, giving you a scientific baseline for your unique body.

What Your Results Reveal

Lactobacilli Dominance: Are your "peacekeepers" (like L. crispatus) producing enough lactic acid to maintain a protective pH?
Pathogen Scoping: We quantify the abundance of disruptive bacteria that cause odor, itching, and discharge before they become a chronic issue.
The Roadmap: You won’t just get a list of bacteria. You receive a personalized mastery plan including:
Targeted supplement protocols (Spore-based probiotics).
Specific nutritional adjustments to support mucosal health.
Lifestyle shifts to prevent recurrent dysbiosis.

Feature	Standard Doctor’s Swab	MSU BiomeFx™ Analysis
Primary Goal	Reactive: Only looks for active infection (BV, Yeast, STIs).	Proactive: Analyzes the entire ecosystem to prevent future issues.
Technology	Culture-Based: Only finds bacteria that "grow" in a petri dish.	Whole Genome Sequencing: DNA-based detection of 100% of microbes.
Scope of Species	Limited: Often groups all "Lactobacillus" into one bucket.	Deep Dive: Distinguishes between 4+ specific Lactobacillus species.
Functional Data	None: Tells you if a bug is there, but not what it’s doing.	High: Identifies Community State Type (CST) and pH-producing potential.
Action Plan	Prescription: Usually a one-size-fits-all antibiotic/antifungal.	Educational Roadmap: Personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and spore-probiotics.
Root Cause Analysis	Surface Level: Treats symptoms as they arise.	Foundational: Explores why the environment is allowing dysbiosis.

BENEFITS OF BiomeFX Vaginal Health Kit

Whole Genome Vaginal Microbiome Sequencing
This innovative kit uses advanced whole genome sequencing to provide a comprehensive analysis of your vaginal microbiome. By examining the complete genetic material of microorganisms present, the test gives you a highly detailed snapshot of your microbial community—including beneficial Lactobacillus species, opportunistic and potentially undesirable bacteria, and fungi like Candida.
Powered by the same CosmosID technology trusted by the FDA for foodborne pathogen detection, the BiomeFX Vaginal Health Kit delivers strain-level identification of microbes and their genes. This level of precision ensures you receive accurate, actionable insights into the state of your vaginal health.
With this state-of-the-art approach, you benefit from:
Advanced, validated technology for reliable results
Detection and quantification of a broad range of vaginal microbes
Insights into potential imbalances linked to symptoms or health conditions
A deeper understanding of the factors impacting fertility, pregnancy, and overall comfort
This thorough analysis sets the stage for personalized recommendations and a clearer path to balanced vaginal health.
Lifestyle, diet, and supplement recommendations for balancing the microbiome
Essential considerations for patients with a history or symptoms of vaginal health conditions
Two-week turnaround time
30-minute consultations with our clinical consultant team
You are responsible for the interpretation of the results. Our clinical consultants are here to provide guidance and answer your questions, but your engagement and understanding are essential for making informed decisions about your health.
Patient’s vaginal microbiome is categorized as one of five Community State Types

How It Works: Your Path to Microbiome Mastery

Mastering your health shouldn't be complicated. We have streamlined the process into three clear phases—from the initial swab to a personalized health curriculum.

1. Secure Your Kit & Collect

Once you order, your BiomeFx™ Vaginal Health Kit is shipped directly to your door. The collection process is private, non-invasive, and takes less than five minutes. Unlike traditional doctor visits, you can collect your sample in the comfort of your own home, ensuring a stress-free experience that preserves the integrity of the sample.

2. Laboratory Sequencing

Return your sample using the pre-paid shipping label. Your specimen undergoes Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) at our world-class laboratory. This is where we "map the genome" of your vaginal ecosystem, identifying the exact ratios of protective Lactobacilli versus opportunistic organisms with 99.9% clinical specificity.

3. Review Your Mastery Roadmap

Data is only valuable if you know how to use it. Once your sequencing is complete, you will receive a comprehensive digital report. We don't just leave you with raw data; we provide a Personalized Mastery Plan that translates your results into actionable steps for nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation to restore your "Frontline Defense."
