DNA Test Kit + Methylation 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.
Methylation Report
Methylation is the process of adding methyl groups, consisting of one carbon and three hydrogen atoms, to other molecules. It is involved in almost every metabolic process in the body, occurring billions of times every second in our cells and contributing to numerous crucial functions.
Imbalances in methylation - too little or too much - can increase susceptibility to chronic health conditions such as heart disease, circulatory problems, chronic fatigue, infertility, immune and autoimmune conditions, food and chemical sensitivities, and mood and psychiatric disorders, as well as cancer and premature ageing.
The Methylation test examines genes involved in five sub-cycles - folate, methionine, neurotransmitter, transsulphuration and urea. Genetic results will inform whether someone is likely to be poor or overly efficient at processing cofactors - B6, B9 (folate) and B12 (cobalamin), methionine, betaine, choline, zinc and magnesium; and inhibitors - chemicals, moulds, drugs, hormones and heavy metals and provide guidance on how to support or bypass bottlenecks or weaknesses.

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.
