Mito Health: a closer look
Lab marketplace selling panels and single tests at the lab's price, plus a draw fee. We searched the FDA warning-letter database on October 31, 2026 and found no letter naming Mito Health.
In its favour
- Lowest single-test prices we track
- States CLIA certification and CAP accreditation
- Panels from three labs, including BioReference in NY and NJ
To weigh
- A per-visit draw fee is extra ($15 at Quest, $11.50 Labcorp, $9.50 BioReference), so headline test prices are not all-in.
- Member prices need a $99/yr membership; savings on one Core panel ($79.16) do not cover it.
- No refunds once labs are run.
- Clinician review does not create a doctor-patient relationship.

- States CAP and CLIA lab partners
- FSA and HSA cards accepted
To weigh
- No routine physician review of results; doctor contact only after a positive.
- Shipping is free only above $150, so most single tests add shipping.
- Very low Trustpilot score (1.8 from 427 reviews).
- Lab partner not named.
