You can earn ₹1.5 crore by selling your poop? Viral video explains how

Every now and then, a strange claim starts trending online and gets people talking. A recent video circulating on social media has done exactly that. The clip talks about something most people would never expect to hear about in a money-related conversation. According to the video, stool donation could bring in a surprising amount of money.

The claim quickly caught the attention of viewers. Some people reacted with humour, while others were curious to know whether there is real science behind it. The video connects the idea of stool donation with medical research related to gut bacteria.

Here is what the viral video says and why it has become a topic of discussion.

Viral clip makes a surprising claim

The video begins with a woman making a statement that immediately catches attention. She says, “What if I told you that you can get 1.5 crores for your poop? You heard me right.”

She then explains that a company based in the United States pays people to donate stool that can be used in research and medical procedures.

According to the claim mentioned in the clip, donors could receive around Rs 41,000 for each donation. If someone donates regularly over a period of time, the total payment could reach around Rs 1.5 crore in a year.

In the video, she says, “This US company is willing to pay you 41,000 per poop and 1.5 crores a year for annual donations, and it doesn’t stop here.”

A message shown from the company’s website in the clip reads, “Make Money, Save Lives. Become a stool donor for FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplants) or research.”

Claim about higher payments for athletic donors

The woman also claims that people who are extremely fit or athletic could receive even higher payments.

She says in the video, “For people who are very athletic and in great shape, they’re willing to pay up to $1 million per poop. This is because they believe that your poop can change someone’s life, and they aren’t crazy.”

The science mentioned in the video

Later in the clip, the woman talks about the science related to stool donation.

She explains, “Here’s the science. See, half your stool is gut bacteria, which play a very important role in your overall health, from digestion to metabolism to mental well-being, and such companies extract this good bacteria from healthy fit individuals, turn it into a capsule, and give it to people suffering from obesity, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bipolar disorder.”

The explanation highlights the role of gut bacteria and how it may be used in certain treatments and research.

She further says, “This process is called fecal microbiota transplant, and it has many success stories. It’s a very interesting time for science.”

Social media users react

Some people responded with humour. One user wrote, “Ab bas yehi dekhna baki tha.” Another person commented, “OMG why this video reached me so late.”

Others joked about the unusual idea. One person wrote, “Finally, a job that you’re born to do !!!,” while another commented, “Ab to billionaire hone se koi nahi rok payega.”

At the same time, some viewers expressed doubt about the concept. One user wrote, “So people basically inject other people's poop through pills and medicines. No thanks.”

Organisation behind the stool donor program

The program mentioned in the video is run by Human Microbes.

The organisation mainly operates in the United States and Canada. It also accepts stool donors from other countries and may arrange international shipping when possible.
