Blueprint by Bryan Johnson At-Home Microplastics Blood Test Kit | Comprehensive Screening | Independently Peer Validated | Fast, Secure Results

I am so excited that there's now a test to learn levels of microplastics in my body. Now I have a baseline and can test which life modifications lower my levels. The test was easy to complete. Given that we are all creating intuitions about microplastics, here are my results: <10 μm - 5 particles 10-30 μm - 2 particles 30-70 μm - none Total Particles: 7 Calculated Concentration*: 70 P/ml based upon assumed collection of a 100μℓ sample. I am in the top 76.5th percentile for having lower levels of microplastics detected compared to other tests. We are going to win the war against microplastics.

Buyer beware!! I’ve given more than enough time and never received any results from this test at all. Never had any communication from the company either. Nothing in spam folder either. I thought this test was going to be a piece of cake to use and send off, but these lancets almost ruined the entire thing for me. For a test that's $150 I'd expect they could at least use a spring-loaded finger prick device. It instructs you to register using a QR code, and after I did, I received an image that said I successfully registered and would receive results within two weeks after they get my sample. I don't get why that step was even needed when I had to provide all that information on the card that was sent back with the blood sample already. There's no app to download; it really seemed like a totally pointless step. Back to the lancet - I ended up having to ask someone else to use it on my finger because I just couldn't do it on my own. It took more than just a drop of sample to adequately fill in the oval on the sample card. I actually didn't think I was going to be able to produce enough sample to get a good reading but eventually I did. The lancet I used caused my finger to be very sore for several hours after this test. Then I had to just let the sample sit out on the card for 30 minutes to dry. I sealed the test up and sent it back in a very basic envelope they provided, not something that looked professional or indicated it was for medical use or even that it contained biohazards inside. I took it straight to the post office and now I await the results. They don't tell you what to do with this information when you receive the results, but I hope they really provide cutting edge reports with a detailed analysis as they promise. At this point I have serious doubts; I'm not impressed at all by what seems to feel like an overpriced at home science experiment using less than professional medical grade materials. I'll update in two weeks if I get anything back from this microplastics screening test.

This is a pricy test, as most of these things are. You provide your personal information, which if you have an issue with that, then you shouldn't take any of these tests as they all require your personal information, but my information, like most people, is already out there. Of big note on this test is that it is a blood test, not hair or saliva. You have to poke yourself, possibly multiple times, to get enough for a proper sample. If this is not possible for you, then skip this product. You get in this kit, a sample card, a postage paid envelope to send your sample in to a lab in the Netherlands (yes, they provide international postage), illustrated instructions, band aids, alcohol pad, gauze pad, and lancets. You register your product online using the QR code provided. You will need to fill in only one of the five testing circles on the provided test card. This takes a bit of effort as you have to soak the circle through. I lowered the rating as the lancets they provide you with are the plain ones where you have to poke yourself. The cost of this test is enough that they should provide the spring loaded lancet. I used mine instead of theirs, so it was doable for me. I did the test, let it air dry, put it in the envelope and mailed it out. I would expect it to take some time to get results back if I do. I did check out the company online before I sent the test in.

This doesn’t require a vial of blood or a special drop off like another test I ordered. Just put drops on the paper where you need to, let it dry, package and send with the envelope that has a forever stamp. I do not know how accurate but it is an interesting insight.

When I saw this Microplastics Test from Blueprint Brian Johnson being offered, I got very curious and promptly ordered it. Before receiving the kit I had assumed that they would want some sort of DNA, but was surprised to see that it was a blood sample. I was still game, so I proceeded to register my test. To no avail. I have tried several times now to fill out the form and submit it, but it keeps being rejected. Even though I am entering my phone number and the country code (1 for USA), it keeps rejecting my submission. I have tried entering this information many different ways, all possible ways, and it has not been accepted. After going to their website I saw that there was no customer service phone number. I sent an email and received no reply, so remain unable to submit my personal information. Then I decided to investigate a little further into this. There is very little information out there, and the return address on the envelope is a UPS store in Grand Blanc, Michigan. The laboratory facility in the Netherlands however, does exist and looks like a state-of-the-art facility. Since I've never heard of Bryan Johnson I then proceeded to look him up. He is a tech entrepreneur who has been trying to discover the secret of reversing his biological age. His end goal is to make dying only an "option". After reading more about the company and it's founder I have decided that I do not want them to have any personal information about me. As to value, I've no idea what a lab test such as this should cost, but for $149., I would expect that there would be an actual person to talk to in a customer service role and more information available about both the test and the Blueprint company.
