About GoodNature
The GoodNature Stool Donation Program is a Nestlé Health Science program that seeks to collect stool from qualified people, extract the bacteria and then study it in hopes of advancing medical treatment options or developing FDA regulated microbiome products. Read more about Nestlé Health Science here.
The program is recruiting healthy individuals who have regular bowel movements and are 18 to 48 years old, are of normal weight, don’t smoke, and have no history of gastrointestinal disease or alcohol or drug abuse. People cannot participate while they’re pregnant, though we encourage them to keep us in mind for the future. And you don’t need health insurance to participate. So chances are good that you’re a candidate.
We respect our donor’s time. As such, the program will pay you $25-$75 per visit and up to $1,500 per month. Donors can also receive bonuses for donating four to six days weekly for extended periods of time. Compensation may vary by city and is subject to change. We pay donors the same day donations are made using a reloadable card similar to a gift or debit card and balances can be viewed online.
Becoming a Donor
The first step to becoming a stool donor is to apply to see if you’re eligible. You can apply here. If you pass, the next steps will be a phone screen followed by three to ten initial sample donations at your local donation center.
After you complete three to ten donations to determine eligibility, we will notify you if you have been approved. Physical exams and lab work will follow before you’re invited to begin daily donations. It can take four to eight weeks after your sample donations to be invited to come in as a daily donor. Thank you for your patience!

If you don’t live near a GoodNature donation center, you potentially still be involved with the GoodNature community, through research and development.
Donors need to be able to read, understand and speak English in order to consent to the terms of the program and respond to questions during the health screen questionnaires. We do not have interpreters available to accommodate non-English speakers in the program at this time.
