Testing can be done in your doctor’s office or at home (if your doctor is practicing virtually). If you’re taking the test at home, simply take a picture of test results and send to your practitioner to evaluate.

Directions if you’re taking Meta-Oxy test at home:

Your doctor should provide the following: plastic urine cup, plastic pipette, colorimetric chart, and testing vial, which has a clear reagent in it. The chemical in the testing vial reacts with the aldehydes (especially malondialdehyde) in your urine and produces anywhere from a clear to a red color in the small vial.

1. Collect a small amount of urine in a plastic cup. Use pipette to take 1ml of urine and pipe into small glass testing vial with a reagent in it.
2. Wait 60 seconds for the testing vial to turn color.
3. Take picture of your testing vial at the 60-second mark to send to your doctor to evaluate (if virtual).
4. Remember to re-test every 30 days during the program to observe progress.
