Optimize your nutrition with a simple mouth swab. Genetic changes can influence how well the body absorbs, breaks down and uses vitamins and minerals, which is why there is no “perfect diet” that will meet the nutritional needs of every individual. This test detects genetic variants linked to vitamin and mineral utilization. You will receive a comprehensive report with the variants analyzed, recommended daily intake for these nutrients as well as suggested sources of food that can be incorporated into your diet. Whether you want to ensure that you are eating a balanced diet or are looking to select an appropriate nutrition supplement regime this test can guide you with your choices.
This test detects genetic variants linked to the intake of 9 vitamin and minerals.
• BCO1 – affects activation of vitamin A
• NBPF3 – increases clearance of vitamin B6 from the body
• FUT2 – reduces absorption of vitamin B12 in the gut
• SLC23A1 – decreases vitamin C absorption and distribution
• CYP2R1 – reduces activation of vitamin D
• GC – reduces efficiency of vitamin D transport and uptake
• APOA5 – influences vitamin E levels
• MTHFD1 – linked to folate-related disorders
• MTHFR – affects activation of folate
• TMPRSS6 – influences iron absorption from the diet
• TF – influences iron transport
• NOS3 – influences triglyceride levels when omega-3 is low

Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about this test.
Are my results confidential?
Yes, your results are 100% confidential. No one will be able to access your account or your results unless you give them your confidential account login. You can change the password to your account at any time. Please remember to safeguard your login information and not share it with anyone.
How long does the test take?
Testing begins immediately the day that your samples arrive at the laboratory. In some special situations, additional testing may be required, which could increase the turnaround time by a few extra days. You can check the status of your test online 24/7 using your secure account login. Your test report is released immediately once testing is complete.
Would eating or drinking before collecting my DNA affect my results?
Drinking or eating will not change the results in any way. The reason that you are not supposed to drink or have anything in the mouth for an extended period prior to collection is to ensure that we have enough buccal cells to complete the test. If there are not enough cells to complete the test, then the results will not be released and a recollection will be required.
How do I ship my samples back to the laboratory?
Once you have finished your sample collection, place the collection kit box into the prepaid plastic USPS envelope included with the kit, then mail your samples to the laboratory via your mailbox or a local USPS drop box. If you wish to monitor the status of your shipment, remember to record the tracking number on the shipping label. You can track the status of your shipment using your tracking number on the USPS website.
Do I have to use the return envelope to send my kits back?
No. You can send the kits back to the laboratory using any shipping method of your choosing. Please be advised that if you do not use the included prepaid return mailer to ship your samples, it is your responsibility to ensure that your samples arrive at the laboratory. We will not be able to provide assistance for shipments that do not use our prepaid return mailer.
