Open everything in the kit and lay it out ready to use. Wash your hands with soap and warm water and dry them well. Rub your hands together to make sure they are warm.
Choose your middle or ring finger and clean it with the alcohol wipe. Use a lancet to prick your finger tip just off center. Then wipe away the first drop of blood using the sterile gauze.
Touch the tip of the sampler to the finger tip and hold it there until the tip is completely red. Repeat this a second time. If you need, you can collect a spare sample. Click the cartridge closed.
Write your details on the label and stick over the Neoteryx label on the cartridge. Put the cartridge and desiccant in the sample bag and seal. Send to our lab using the prepaid label and mailer.

Washing your hands in warm water cleans them and also helps ensure good blood flow to the finger tips. This is important to make sure you can give a good sample.
You may need to massage your finger from the base to the tip to increase blood flow. If the blood stops, you can repeat the steps to prick another finger using a spare lancet. If this still doesn't work, warm your hands up again and then shake them in small circles at waist level. Now try pricking another finger.
We give you a 4-tip sampler so you have a chance to collect a spare sample if the first samples weren't good. A good sample should have the tip of the sampler filled with blood, but there shouldn't be any blood extending down the stick towards the cartridge. A bad sample is one where the tip isn't completely filled, or where there is blood further down the stick.
The accuracy of your test does not depend on whether you’ve fasted. You can take your sample at any time that is convenient for you.
Taking the Relentless Health test is very simple and typically painless. In order to get a few drops of blood, you do need to use the provided lancet to prick the tip of your finger. For some, this is completely painless, and for others, it might feel like a sting that goes away after a few seconds
Relentless Health's toxin tests are available to be purchased and used by anyone in the United States, except for residents of the state of New York. This is due to New York's state regulations for lab testing. We hope to make our tests available in NY soon.
