Hi. I am doing the KPU test today (fun!)

I am using one of those medical opaque orange specimen jugs for collection from an old test I never did.

The Dr K instructions say use a juice or milk jug wrapped in tin foil to protect it from the light

My ? is since I am using an opaque jug designed for urine collection, do I still need to wrap it in tinfoil

I'm thinking no, but I don't want to mess this up and have to do it again later

thanks

Do you need a doctor to order this test? Which lab are you using Larkspur? I saw literature from Dr K recommending Vitamin Diagnostics Lab.

Hi. Yes, this is through my Dr. I actually just talked to them ( I was trying to avoid calling them b/c I call them so frequently!) and the answer is yes, I should wrap the jug in tinfoil to avoid any light exposure.

I got the test kit from my Dr (they filled out a requistion form) but I send it off to Vitamin Diagnositcs myself. Not sure if Vit Diagnostics requires an MD or not to get the test done.

dr k's ofc signed the paperwork and they got the results. only took 3 pees and used all the citric acid and didnt get stressed out like i was supposed to and it still worked fine.
