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.

Our Methylation Report examines genes involved in five sub-cycles - folate, methionine, neurotransmitter, transsulphuration and urea. Genetic results will inform of personalised needs for nutrients such as B Vitamins - particularly B6, B9 (folate) and B12 (cobalamin), as well as methionine, betaine, choline, zinc and magnesium. Understanding your personal methylation biochemistry can help you to keep levels of homocysteine in check and reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular, metabolic dysregulation and Alzheimer’s disease. Please visit our product page for further details and a sample report.

Please note that reports will be made available in PDF format and not printed.

We will invite you to make an appointment with a Lifecode Gx registered nutrigenomics practitioner. This 30-minute telephone or Zoom call will further explain your results, recommend nutrition and lifestyle interventions and answer any questions you may have.
