Folate & Methionine
Genetic pathway context related to folate processing and the methionine cycle.
About MethylationTest.ca
Clear, at-home DNA methylation testing for Canadians
MethylationTest.ca was created to make genetic methylation testing easier to access, understand and use responsibly.
Our at-home DNA methylation test examines more than 9,000 genetic locations, including genes such as COMT, MTHFR and MTR. The report organizes your results around important metabolic pathways, including the Folate Cycle and Methionine Cycle, and provides personalized diet, exercise and lifestyle considerations.
Sample collection is completed at home using a simple oral swab. Results are generally available within 10 days after your sample is received by the laboratory.
Our Mission
Responsible genetic wellness information, explained clearly
Our mission is to give Canadians clearer access to responsible, report-based genetic wellness information.
Genetic testing can be difficult to understand. Reports may contain unfamiliar gene names, pathway terminology and technical information that is hard to place in context. We aim to explain the testing process and report scope in plain language so that you know what you are ordering, what the test examines and how the results may be used.
Our reports are intended for education and wellness planning. They are not intended to diagnose a medical condition, identify the cause of symptoms or replace care from a qualified healthcare professional.
Report Scope
What Does a Methylation Test Examine?
A genetic methylation test looks at inherited genetic variations associated with methylation-related pathways.
The DNA Methylation Comprehensive Health Report examines more than 9,000 genetic locations, including key genes involved in the processing and regulation of nutrients and other biological functions.
Nutrient Processing
Inherited tendencies connected with how selected nutrients may be processed.
Energy & Stress
Pathways associated with energy-related and stress-response genetic patterns.
Hormone Pathways
Genetic information related to selected hormone-processing pathways.
Inflammation & Antioxidants
Pathway context connected with inflammatory and antioxidant processes.
Performance & Recovery
Selected tendencies associated with athletic performance and recovery.
DNA Protection
Genetic context related to DNA protection and detoxification-associated processes.
These findings describe genetic tendencies and pathway context. They do not show your current nutrient levels, diagnose deficiencies or prove that a genetic variation is responsible for a symptom.

How the At-Home Testing Process Works
The process is designed to be completed remotely, with clear instructions provided for collection, return shipping and report delivery.
Order Your Test
Choose your DNA methylation test online and provide complete delivery and contact information.
Receive Your Kit
Your testing kit and collection instructions are shipped to the address provided with your order.
Collect Your Sample
Follow the enclosed instructions to collect your oral-swab sample at home. A clinic appointment is not normally required.
Return the Sample
Package and return the sample using the included instructions. Shipping time is separate from laboratory processing time.
Receive Your Report
After laboratory processing, your electronic report is provided through the applicable results-delivery process.
The documented turnaround time for the DNA methylation test is approximately 10 days from receipt of the sample at the laboratory.
Our Difference
What Makes MethylationTest.ca Different?
Our focus is not ancestry, entertainment or family-relationship testing. We concentrate on methylation-related genetic information, clear report scope and responsible use.
Focused on methylation and wellness
Genetic information is organized around methylation pathways and wellness-oriented report categories.
Broad genetic coverage
The report examines more than 9,000 genetic locations and includes recognized genes such as MTHFR, COMT and MTR.
At-home oral-swab collection
A non-invasive oral swab makes collection accessible without a standard clinic visit.
Clearer report guidance
We explain the report’s purpose, scope and limits so genetic tendencies are not confused with medical findings.
Professional review encouraged
Results may be discussed with a physician, naturopathic doctor, registered dietitian or another qualified professional.
Nationwide Access
Methylation Testing Across Canada
MethylationTest.ca provides a mail-based testing option for clients in Canada.
Whether you live in Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax or another Canadian community, the at-home process is designed to reduce the need for an in-person collection appointment.
Delivery availability, shipping time and courier options may vary according to your location. Laboratory turnaround begins only after the sample arrives at the testing laboratory.

Genetic and personal information is sensitive. We handle customer information according to applicable data-protection requirements and the practices described in our published Privacy Policy.
Privacy statements should be read together with the Terms and Conditions and the consent information provided during the testing process.
Before ordering, review:
Information collected
What personal and genetic information is collected.
Purpose and use
Why information is required and how it is used.
Storage and processing
How information is stored and who may process it.
Report delivery
How reports are provided to the customer.
Retention and choices

Professional Context
Supporting Clients and Health Practitioners
A methylation report may provide useful context for a wellness discussion, but genetic findings should not be considered in isolation.
Qualified practitioners can help place genetic information alongside factors such as medical history, current symptoms, bloodwork, diet, medications and personal health goals.
Do not begin, stop or change medication, supplements, treatment or a restrictive diet solely because of a genetic wellness report.
Health professionals interested in learning more about the report or discussing client-support options are welcome to contact our team.
Our Approach
Clear expectations before, during and after testing
The idea behind MethylationTest.ca is straightforward: people should be able to understand what a genetic wellness test examines before they order it.
- Clear information about the test’s scope
- Transparent sample and turnaround expectations
- Plain-language explanations of genetic pathways
- Responsible limitations and disclaimers
- Access to sample reports and pricing before purchase
- Support throughout the testing process
We do not present genetic testing as a guaranteed solution for fatigue, fertility concerns, mood changes, inflammation or other health issues. Instead, the report provides genetic context that may support a broader, professionally guided wellness conversation.

Take the Next Step with Clear Expectations
Information about inherited tendencies—not a medical diagnosis
A DNA methylation test can provide information about inherited genetic tendencies associated with methylation and related wellness pathways.
It cannot diagnose a disease, confirm the cause of a symptom or replace medical testing. The most useful next step is to understand the report’s scope and review health-related decisions with an appropriately qualified professional.
