DNA Test Kit + Histamine Intolerance Report
DNA Test Kit
A sample of cheek cells is collected using the DNA test kit from which DNA is extracted and analysed. It takes just 2 minutes to collect the sample, place the swab in the test tube with the stabilising tablet, complete and sign the consent form and place everything in the return packaging provided.
Please note DNA Test Kit results are only valid for 6 months.
Histamine Intolerance Report
Histamine has many functions: as a neurotransmitter, communicating messages to and from the brain and nervous system; triggering the release of stomach acid to help digestion; and it can also be released after stress, injury or allergic reaction as part of the body’s immune response.
Histamine intolerance is the body’s reaction to an imbalance between accumulated histamine and the capacity to break it down. When the body is unable to break histamine down quickly enough it becomes toxic. Symptoms of histamine toxicity may include skin irritation or breathing difficulties (mimicking an allergic reaction), digestive problems, headaches, insomnia and anxiety.
The Histamine Intolerance test analyses the genes and nutrients needed to breakdown and remove histamine, showing where disruptions occur and how to support optimal function. Diamine oxidase (DAO), which primarily breaks down histamine in the gut, can be impaired by gastrointestinal disease or ‘blockers’ such as alcohol, smoked or fermented foods, black tea, green tea and some medications such as non steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen or aspirin). Insufficient histamine-n-methyl- transferase (HNMT) in the nervous system and lungs can also lead to histamine overload.

Your questions answered
Certain tests may ask you to remove certain foods from your diet for a short period, or discontinue some supplements before taking your sample. All details of any adjustments required can be found on the individual test pages under ‘Collection Instructions’. These will also be sent to you in full with your test kit.
If the test you are taking would be impacted by medication then this will be noted on the sample form when you receive the test kit. You would just need to state the medication you are taking, the dose and when you take it. Not all tests will require this information. You must not discontinue any medication without consulting your prescribing physician.
