1.0 out of 5 starsDid more harm then good-full body itching and blood pressure shot up

More like pseudoscience and unfortunately their marketing outpaces the science. I filled out a very extensive questionnaire that took 106 minutes (that’s Viome’s estimated time to complete it not mine) and they sent me “personalized food recommendations and precision supplements to help. They tell you their supplements and probiotics are all you need for your complete health but some of the ingredients in the custom made supplements were in direct conflict with my medical conditions that took so long to complete. started to notice that I was getting itchy the first few days and by the 7th and 8th day my body was completely full of red blotchy hives from head to toe. I also noticed that my blood pressure went up for the one week I took the supplements and followed their diet recommendations. I made an appointment with doctor said to stop taking it immediately. She also pointed out that Echinacea and Quercetin (two of the ingredients in my personalized supplements is a know trigger overactive immune response for people with autoimmune issues as well as thyroid issues-both of which I have. As soon as I stopped taking the supplements and the recommended foods the hives went away.
I called Viome to report my side effects but they seemed unfazed and said that I had already committed to receiving the next batch of supplements. They offered to remove anything that I thought might be responsible for my itching hives and high blood pressure for the next batch. That’s ridiculous! They claim to have artificial intelligence that knows exactly what I need (unless I have a severe reaction and then I get to decide which of the 41 ingredients might or might not be good for me.) I offered to return the remaining 22 days of suppliments and probiotics but they wouldn’t take them back and would not stop next months shipment. I have also filled a report with the FDA.
