Viome review: Reverse Age Lab vs Viome
Viome tests your gut and makes you a formula. Reverse Age Lab builds one daily protocol of supplements, diet and exercise from your whole profile, grades any brand, and sells nothing.
Viome reads what your gut microbes and your cells are doing from an at-home test, then recommends foods and makes a supplement formula for you. People looking for a Viome review usually want to know what the test tells them, whether the monthly formula is worth paying for, and what else they should be doing every day. Here is where Viome and Reverse Age Lab start and stop, taken from Viome's own pages on October 27, 2026.
What Viome does best
- An at-home test of stool, saliva and blood, read for RNA in a CLIA-certified lab: what your gut microbes and cells are doing now, across 400+ pathways.
- Full Body Intelligence ($399): 70 health scores and 370+ food recommendations. Gut Intelligence ($279): 25+ scores and the same food list.
- Foods sorted for you into ones to favor and ones to avoid.
- Precision Supplements: a formula of about 22 ingredients chosen from 200+, dosed from your scores, made fresh and shipped every month.
- A new plan each time you retest, every 6 to 12 months. HSA and FSA funds can pay for the test.
What Viome does not do
- Grade the supplements you already take, or any other brand's. Its answer is its own formula.
- Recommend without selling: the formula it recommends is one it makes, sold by monthly subscription.
- Include the formula in the test price: Precision Supplements are a separate subscription once your results are in.
- Turn your workouts into calories burned and targets, or check your supplements against your medications. Its pages describe neither.
What Reverse Age Lab does
Viome reads one sample and builds foods and a formula from it. Reverse Age Lab builds one Daily Protocol of supplements, diet and exercise from your total health profile and keeps it current as your life changes. Every supplement, from any brand, is graded on five evidence tiers from the human studies, tens of millions of real reviews and what the top 10 biohackers say. It sells nothing, so nothing is on your list for a margin.
- A Health Profile of your goals, body, sleep, diet, exercise, supplements and medications, plus test results if you have them.
- One Daily Protocol of supplements, diet and exercise, built from that profile and rebuilt whenever any of it changes.
- A supplement schedule by time of day (on waking, with your first and last meal, before sleep), set to your own wake time, meals and bedtime.
- Every product graded on five evidence tiers from the human studies, real reviews and the top 10 biohackers, and ranked for your goals; any other bottle researched from a picture of its label or barcode.
- Conflicts, interactions, redundancies and synergies across your supplements and medications, with what to add, what to stop and when to take each.
- Diet and exercise suggestions for your goals, with fasting and ketosis guidance where it fits.
- With the Diet & Exercise module: your meals, water and alcohol turned into a nutrition facts panel, added to your supplements and set against your targets and safe upper limits; your weekly workouts turned into calories burned and fat loss, which set your calorie and protein targets.
- Blood work from any lab uploaded, stored and tracked over time, and set against the nutrition facts from your own diet and supplements.
- A dashboard scored red to green: your supplements and goals, diet, exercise, nutrition and blood work, conflicts and redundancies.
- Rala Chat, which knows your profile, your protocol and the research behind each product, and updates your profile when you ask.
