Seems to be a scam. If you look up their FDA registration number nothing shows up.

I’ve used some of their other home testing kits before, like their colon cancer screening kit. Detects globin at 50 ng/mL and is board approved by gastroenterologists. The company isn’t a scam.

Yeah, after digging into it more I saw that. Doesn't explain the missing FDA number though which is quite sketchy.

Their number is listed in the info brochure.

Yeah, and it's not listed... in the actual FDA database.

Found it in 3 clicks. Maybe it's been recently updated?

Strange indeed.

You said your test kit arrived already? What does it look like?
