Genetic Methylation Test

Wouldn’t it be good to know exactly what shape you’re in?

Upon purchase a member of our consulting team will reach out to you and walk you through step-by-step with the leading UK's medical testing labs to bring you cutting-edge functional health testing. 

What is Methylation?

Methylation is a fundamental chemical process occurring billions of times per second in every cell. For those interested in chemistry, it involves the addition of a methyl group to a molecule. This simple addition acts as a trigger, activating countless switches that regulate various processes within the body, such as turning on and off genes and pathways.

Beyond these regulatory functions, methyl groups help manage mood, detoxify hormones, produce energy, and promote healthy aging. The process of methylation relies on vitamins, minerals, and amino acids from the diet to function smoothly. Additionally, genetic factors and oxidative stressors can influence the efficiency of this pathway.

Why is Methylation Important?

Methylation is essential for energy production, fat metabolism, immune responses, vascular health, and cell membrane repair. It plays a crucial role in creating DNA and RNA, regulating gene expression, making creatine for muscle contraction, and producing neurotransmitters for mood regulation. Methylation also neutralizes toxins and hormones. Due to its broad role in human physiology, methylation defects can lead to various symptoms.

What does the Genetic Methylation Test tell you?

A generic methylation test typically provides information about the methylation status of DNA, which can offer insights into various biological and medical conditions. Here are some key points a methylation test can tell you:

The Genetic Methylation Test examines your DNA for SNPs that affect health and bodily functions, influencing nutrient and medication processing. This test identifies how well you process cofactors like B6, B9, B12, methionine, betaine, choline, zinc, and magnesium, and highlights potential inhibitors such as chemicals, molds, drugs, hormones, and heavy metals, guiding strategies to address weaknesses in the methylation pathway.

Who Benefits Most from the Genetic Methylation Test?

An imbalance in methylation can increase the risk of chronic health conditions, including:

• Poor detoxification
• Cardiovascular issues
• Psychiatric and mood disorders
• Neurological disorders
• Immune and autoimmune disorders
• Sensitivities to food and chemicals
• Chronic fatigue
• Infertility
• Premature aging

How is the Genetic Methylation Test performed?

A genetic methylation test is quick, easy, and painless to administer. The process typically involves collecting a small sample of your saliva or a simple cheek swab. This is done comfortably at home using a provided kit. After collecting the sample, you simply send it back to the lab in a pre-paid envelope. The entire procedure is straightforward and non-invasive, ensuring a hassle-free experience while providing valuable insights into your genetic methylation profile.

What Will I Get with the Genetic Methylation Test Results?

1. Customized, color-coded genotype information.
2. Descriptions of gene functionality and SNP effects.
3. Clinically significant SNPs.
4. Insights into nutrient and epigenetic influences.
5. A fully referenced report with research links.

What if I Need Help with the Results?

We can refer you to functional medicine practitioners and registered nutritional therapists for additional support, which is not included in the test cost.

What Happens to My DNA After the Test?

Each test is processed in an ISO-certified UK laboratory. All samples are destroyed after 3 months, and client genotyping data is marked for destruction at 5 months and completely destroyed by 6 months.
