Looks interesting, simple and easy.
One can get combo tests or specific one is interested in
They also have a sodium test (so @AnUser between that and their hydration test you’ll be all set!)
Does anyone know how well tested/validated the science and technology is?
The of stress one could be interesting if actually a good measurement?
And those working on their ph can get quick feedback (were you doing that @John_Hemming )
One can order on Amazon
And the video above seems to have a discount if done from the company webpage
And seem to want to add more test types over time.

On the reliability, accuracy of the results:
Here’s the exciting part: When we set a rule that the measurements had to be within one color block of each other, we found that 2,608 out of 2,618 measurements from Vivoo were right on the money. That’s a success rate of 99.62% ± 0.24%!
What does this mean? Within one color block of each other? It’s like this
Basically the color blocks are different levels which your phone camera sees to calculate your score for each marker, and it can measure this within the limitations accurately. So it doesn’t give you that precise of a measurement.
Seems to be a 10 point scale on the ones they show in the app (with at least one metric being with one decimal point).
But - yeah, what does that scale mean?
They seems to have done something right:

this is one day after i ate almost nothing b/c of tirzepatide 2 days ago [though i ate 2 cans of garbanzo beans earlier today]. i did drink two cartons of fortified almond milk lately.
this isn’t sensitive to the most important indicators of health (like, oxidative stress/malondialdehyde is just negative) so I don’t think I’ll get it again, but at least I’ll try the strips on some other intervals of time.
Mg/creatinine in used of mmol/mmol, Ca/creatinine in units of mg/mg… I normally have very low creatinine values (~0.69)

^yeah I’m above the 95th percentile for BOTH. I did eat chinese veggies last night, but not as many vegetables as I’m normally used to (other than canned tomatoes)
