Is there a "best time" for someone to provide saliva? Is this dependent on schedule and/or age? And is this different if you are doing intermittent fasting?
This is a great question! We are actively looking into circadian oscillations of the oral microbiome, but don't currently have any recommendations around specific times for sample collection. The same goes for intermittent fasting! We only recommend that users don't eat or drink for at least 30 minutes prior to sample collection.
