What is a methylation test?

A methylation test evaluates gene function related to methylation, which impacts detox, mood, and inflammation.

Is the test available in Canada?

Yes, our test kits ship across Canada and include everything needed to collect and return your sample.

How Often Should You Retest Your Genes?

Most inherited DNA does not change over time, so repeat testing is often less about your genes changing and more about your first test, report scope, or sample quality. That helps set realistic expectations before spending money on another kit.

Educational, pathway-focused context rather than diagnosis.

Why most people do not need frequent retesting

Your inherited genetic sequence generally stays the same. In many cases, once a reliable sample has been processed, the core genetic information does not need to be collected again.

When a repeat test may make sense

A retest can be reasonable if the original sample was unusable, if the report was too limited, or if a newer panel now covers pathways you want to understand more fully.

What usually changes instead of your genes

What changes over time is often your health context, goals, symptoms, or the amount of explanation included in a report. Those differences may affect what kind of testing is useful, not whether your DNA changed.

How to decide before ordering again

Check whether you need a replacement sample, a broader report, or simply better interpretation of the results you already have. That can help prevent unnecessary duplicate testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your genes change over time?

Inherited DNA generally stays the same, so most people do not need routine retesting of the same genetic panel.

When might a repeat test make sense?

It may help if a sample failed, the report scope changed, or you want a broader panel than you ordered before.
