      I think it's a really neat concept makes sense for the average person who's just trying to optimize themself. However, I do not suggest purchasing this product if you have any health or digestive symptoms or concerns. (Although, interestingly, this seems to be the audience they are targeting.)I paid for the Viome test followed the recommendations and noticed minor improvements in some of the initial concerns I had that inspired me to take the test. However, when my symptoms largely continued, my Gastroenterologist ordered her own GI MAP test and uncovered that in fact I had SIBO, an H-pyori infection, leaky gut, and celiac disease (seemingly the underlying cause) meanwhile, Viome was putting bread and grains into my "enjoy" list. All of this is to say, it really made me thankful I decided to go to a doctor, despite already paying for this test because otherwise these problems would have never been identified and continued to be exasperated. As an entrepreneur and health professional myselfI love the concept and am in full support of businesses trying to put health and wellness knowledge and action into consumer's hands but it's a delicate line when you are positioning yourself as a medical solution and dealing with people's health. All of this is to say, I think they are onto something but not quite there yet. And as others have mentioned, it's fairly annoying that the (very expensive) test is basically used as a tool to sell you supplements.

      Thank you for your feedback. Viome does not test for these diseases or any food sensitivities/allergies and we do not replace the advise of a medical professional. Viome focuses on analyzing gene expression and your gut microbiome to understand how you are moving closer or away from optimal health and what nutrients your body will benefit from to address signs of trouble. Then, you receive Results & Recommendations including scores, food and supplements recommendations based on what we find. We provide the option of purchasing personalized supplements, but you can also source these on your own.

      I became a Viome customer in December 2022 and I believe in the technology. I found relief with my new diet and supplements. Unfortunately, Viome doesnt offer customer friendly options when problems arise. Managing my supplements has become too difficult. As a result, I am without them for several months which is forcing me to find more attractive alternatives.

      HI ******,

       

      I am happy to hear about the benefits from Viome and am sorry you have had trouble managing your subscription. After looking into your account I see that your payment failed and that is why your subscription was not going through. I will follow up via email to make sure that everything has been taken care of and we can get you back on track.

       

      Best,

      The implication that lack of payment was my fault is both offensive and misleading to others. Others need to know that after four months of reassurances your organization was incapable of taking a credit card payment through your third party site.

      Fraud alert!This is an honest review of Viome. Out of desperation, I have used Viome supplements for 8 months. Within 4 weeks of use my symptoms got worse. After 6 months, I retested. I was shocked that most of my results were getting worse than when I started using the supplements. Upon many calls and complaints I was told the company does not have a mechanism to compare the two tests and there are variables but they would not explain it to me. Their customer service is unprofessional, they read generic statements that are prepared by someone who knows how write nonsense. This company is dishonest, they want you to get hooked so that you keep buying supplements. My doctor even told me that this is all about making money, there is no test and supplement that can be individualized for each person. All this company knows is to take your money and take advantage of you. Do not be fooled by the ** on their website, it is a bunch of garbage. I wish I read the reviews before investing thousands of dollars. I DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY.

      Hi Freba,I am sorry to hear that this has been your experience with Viome. I know we have already spoken over the phone, but there are many reasons why your scores can decrease and results can change. As previously discussed, I would be happy to set up a consult for you with our clinical nutrition team. They can go over both tests with you and walk through the changes in scores along with answering any questions you have along the way. Please let me know if I can further assist you with this and I wish you the best on your ***************** journey. Sincerely,*****************************

      I would give no stars if that was an option. After inquiring on canceling an order was told I missed the return window by less than an hour. Okay I guess I will just continue on with the test send in samples upon receipt of samples was issued a partial refund. You have to email the company and wait days to hear back. Then told if I want to do the test again I have to pay full price and reorder. The absolute worst customer service experience ever experienced. 10 out of 10 do not recommend.

      Hi ****,I am sorry for the experience youve had with Viome so far. I looked into your account and have contacted the lab about your samples. We can still process them and move forward with getting you your results if you would like to do this instead of the partial refund.Please let me know how you would like to proceed at your earliest convenience.Sincerely,*****************************

      The company uses deceptive advertising to try to get customers to sign up for their monthly subscription. They claim to give special customers free annual testing but the price of the kit is in the monthly subscription. Without the free kit monthly subscription is $149 with its $179 over the year you pay $320 for the kit. Which is not bad if it was not marketed as free. The vitamins are also not the best quality store bought products gave me better results.

      We offer a number of different subscriptions to our customers to meet individual needs, the *** Complete Plan does not include a free kit, but does lump in this cost to the monthly price with your supplements which some customers prefer. It is our goal to offer as many options as possible and we also have stand alone kits that you can purchase without supplements. You also do not have to purchase supplements from us and can buy these elsewhere if that is your preference. One of the many benefits of Viome supplements is that they are custom made with a specific formula just for you!

      Hello Viome team I purchased my first kit a year ago. When I went to purchase a new kit I was directed to a long infomercial video that stated it was a special offer for select customers. During the video a free kit was promised for customers that sign up for lifetime membership which you can cancel at any time. The video said you may be wondering how we can afford to provide a free kit every year and then it went on to discuss the companys commitment to providing a great product that positively impacts customers health. The call to action was sign up for your subscription now at a 10% every month if you wait to get your results you have to pay full retail price. There was never any mention of the cost of the kit being added to the subscription price. I this company is trying to do great things and advance microbiome research but just be transparent in your marketing and dont resort to these tactics people care about their health and will pay for it.

      I have $600 worth of supplements that I can't use and they don't have the cancel subscription option. My subscription resumes every couple of months. It took 25 mins of chatting with their team to cancel my subscription.

      Fraudulent subscription practice no option to cancel only pause that then starts again in 45 days not clearly listed as such.

      Thank you for the feedback, we have processed a full refund and you also will have a month of supplements coming your way. I hope that addresses your concern.

      Did the test, got my results, and decided to try the supplements. They were fine, but I could no longer take the supplements due to health changes. I paused my subscription since there was no cancel option. I thought my subscription was on pause until I got a notification that they were sending my next order. I tried contacting customer service to explain the mix up, but they kept saying I was the one confused because pausing only lasts for 45 days. This policy is not clear and they sent no reminder that my order would be processed soon. They said it was too late to cancel or refund my order ($150) but could credit my account $25 for the mix up. This business needs to do better

      Viome

      Date: 10/26/2022

      Im sorry you had this experience. I have emailed you with the dates of the email notifications sent regarding the date the subscription would resume, a reminder notice, an alert about resuming and billing. It looks like it was the final email letting you know the subscription resumed that prompted your call to customer support. I am working with our internal team to see if we can make it even more apparent that the Pause feature is for 45 days although it is stated on the account when the pause is selected. We appreciate the feedback as were always striving to improve.

      Look at those 3 fake reviews from 8/30/2022!!! I tried to get an ingredient list for their supplements and they said that some are proprietary and patented blends, so that info cant be releasedHogwash!

      Viome

      Date: 10/24/2022

      Viome does use over 200 high quality ingredients from powders, extracts, and oils, including enzymes, polyphenols, vitamins and minerals, and various phytonutrients. We base your personalized formula on your test results. Our process to determine which ingredients will be best for you is a proprietary process but customers receive a detailed list of supplement and pre+probiotic ingredients that are included in their custom formula.

      They charged me for two test kits then I was on the phone trying to get reimbursed for the 2nd one. First they tried to talk me into keeping it for the future. Then as I was waiting I went to paypal and saw they set me up for a subscription charging $299.00 a month!!! Do not do business with these people. I asked for a complete reimbursement for everything and they said I will see it 7 business days! Are you kidding. I am so sick of unethical companies.

      Hi *******,I'm sorry that was your experience, we try to make it an easy transaction, but it sounds like it was confusing instead. Sometimes, an offer to purchase a subscription and a discounted second kit pops up during the purchase. I'm sorry it wasn't more clear. Refunds usually process through the banks in a couple of days but, depending on your bank it can take longer. Hopefully, you've seen it in your account already.Thanks for your feedback.
