What to Expect as a Daily Donor
The Commitment of a Daily Stool Donor
We’re looking for healthy donors! Ideal donors are willing to keep up with program requirements avoiding pauses or discontinuations because you...
- Live or work within 20 minutes of a donation center and have no plan for changes that would make your commute longer
- Have a flexible schedule
- Are generally healthy and are able to avoid use of medications or illnesses that might cause pause in donations and/or discontinuation
- You don’t travel regularly for work or vacation
- When you do travel, you tend not to travel outside of the United States and Canada
- When you drink, you don’t exceed more than 3 drinks per sitting
- You can wait to get new tattoos
- You can wait to use probiotics
Why Living or Working Close to a Center Matters
Most of our donors live or work within 20 minutes of our centers and walk, bike ride, or drive. To make stool donations 4-6 days weekly as expected, donations should be convenient.
Plan ahead. Most people have a bowel movement in the morning. If that’s you, consider rush hour and your work schedule to ensure you can fit donation comfortably into your schedule.
