Early detection of bowel cancer
ColoAlert – At-home stool test for bowel cancer screening
A non-invasive stool test with KRAS/BRAF mutation analysis and an immunological faecal occult blood test — more informative than a classic stool blood test, and easy to do at home.
No prescription needed. Ships the next working day.

Principle
Measure first, then decide
Without measured values, prevention is guesswork. We turn the order around: the lab report first, then the decision.

ORY experts stay with you
Doctors and Heilpraktiker from the ORY team are there for you the whole way — with your lab report and with whatever follows.
What a value means, and whether a supplement is right for you, is something to discuss with a practitioner. This page makes no recommendation and is no substitute for medical assessment.
Details
What is in this analysis
What is measured
5 markers for early detection of bowel cancer from a single stool sample — two genetic markers, human DNA and two blood markers.
The biomarker reference explains what lies behind the numbers: how values interact, which cofactors are involved and which biochemical processes take place in the body — for all values and areas, not only this analysis.
To the biomarker reference
For whom
ColoAlert is particularly suitable for people from 45 onwards, with a family history or risk factors such as excess weight, smoking, little exercise or an unbalanced diet — and especially for people without symptoms who want to take precautions, since bowel cancer often causes no symptoms in its early stages.
What a single value means in your situation is something you discuss with a practitioner. This does not replace medical assessment or a screening colonoscopy.
How it works
Four steps from order to lab report.
- 01 Kit arrives Ships the next working day, postage paid to your door.
- 02 Take the sample Stool sample with catcher and dosing stick, about five minutes.
- 03 Send it in To the laboratory in the transport container and postage-paid bag, not on Fridays.
- 04 Get your lab report 7–21 days after the sample arrives, with a 15-minute discussion if you want one.
Instructions
Collecting the sample takes about five minutes. The key points first:
- When catching the stool, avoid any contact with toilet water, and do not collect during menstruation.
- Postpone collection during acute stomach or bowel trouble or open haemorrhoidal bleeding; ideally collect in the morning.
- Do not post on Fridays or before public holidays, so the sample reaches the laboratory in time.
Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation matters: it is what allows your sample — stool, urine, saliva or blood — to be evaluated cleanly and meaningfully.

Sending your sample back
So your sample reaches the laboratory safely, please follow the rule for your country.
| Country | Postage | Shipping |
|---|---|---|
| Germany | Already paid | Return postage is prepared, you do not need to add a stamp. |
| Austria | Add your own postage | To our address in Vienna, not to Germany. |
| Switzerland | Add your own postage | Separate return bag for Switzerland, sent to Germany. |
| Rest of Europe | Add your own postage | Sent to Germany. |
In short: Germany is all set. Austria, add postage and send to Vienna. Switzerland, add postage, special bag, send to Germany. Rest of Europe, add postage and send to Germany.
