How to Start Your Personalized Probiotic Program From Your Microbiome Results

You are not starting a subscription box. You're starting a defined program built from your own gut data, with an endpoint and a way to measure whether it's working. Here's exactly how to begin.

Step 1 — Get your gut sequenced (or bring recent results)

Your formula starts with data, so the first step is a picture of your gut. Two paths:

• Don't have results? Flore's Test-to-Treat program bundles an accredited at-home microbiome test with 6 months of your custom formula for $658.50. You collect a small sample at home; a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited lab does the sequencing.
• Already have recent sequencing? Bring your own data — from Flore/Sun Genomics, a clinic, or another microbiome service — and start a 6-month Flore Custom program for $564. No need to re-test if your results are current.

Want the lowest-commitment way to feel the difference first? A ready-made GoodOnes™ targeted probiotic ($49) is the front door to the ecosystem — but your personalized program begins from your gut data.

Step 2 — Create your account and upload your results

Set up your account at portal.flore.com. If you tested through Flore, your results flow in automatically. If you're bringing your own data, upload your report there. This is also where your symptom check-ins, your formula, and your re-test history will live, so it becomes your home base for the whole program.

Step 3 — Flore builds your personalized formula

This is where Flore does its work. It reads your strain-level results and formulates a custom synbiotic — probiotic strains paired with prebiotics that feed them — matched to your profile and your goals, whether that's digestion and regularity or gut–brain support like mood, calm and focus. Formulas are drawn from a library of up to 68 curated strains and 40+ prebiotics. Two people with different guts get genuinely different formulas. (Curious how the matching works? See how Flore personalizes probiotics from your data — what happens, and where the proprietary line is.)

Step 4 — Choose your delivery format: capsules or powder

Your personalized formula comes as capsules or powder — never a liquid. Both carry the same formula; you pick the one that fits your routine. Capsules are swallow-and-go and travel easily; powder stirs into a cool food or drink and is the go-to for children and anyone who'd rather not swallow capsules. Not sure? Our capsules-vs-powder guide walks through it, and you can switch formats when you re-order.

Step 5 — Start your program

Choose a term: 3, 6 or 12 months (totals $297 / $564 / $1,069). These are defined programs with an endpoint — billed monthly in installments, not an open-ended, auto-renewing subscription. Longer terms lower your monthly cost. Then your formula is manufactured to order and shipped, and you begin taking it daily.

Step 6 — Track your results and re-test (the Flore Loop)

Once you're taking your formula, log how you feel in your portal — the symptom check-ins are what make progress visible. Toward the end of your term you re-test, and Flore compares your new microbiome and symptom picture to your baseline and refines your next formula. That closed loop — sequence → build the intervention → re-test → refine — is what separates a personalized program from a static product. Nobody stays the same gut forever, and your formula shouldn't either.
