Compare Methylation and Nutrient DNA Tests
Choose from six focused wellness tests designed to answer different questions about methylation-related genetics, folate processing, vitamin D metabolism, zinc and iron metabolism, or biological age.
Each product has its own scope. The broad DNA Methylation Test examines thousands of inherited genetic locations, while the Biological Age Test evaluates age-related DNA methylation patterns. The focused nutrient tests examine selected genes or variants.

Choose by goal
Which Test Best Matches Your Question?
The best choice is not always the largest test. Start with the outcome you want and select the report designed to answer that question.
| Choose this test | When your main goal is | What the report provides | What it does not directly measure |
|---|---|---|---|
| DNA Methylation Test | A broad look at inherited methylation-related genes and pathways | Thousands of genetic findings with folate- and methionine-cycle context | Current folate, B12, homocysteine, hormone, or nutrient levels |
| Biological Age Test | Estimating biological age using age-related methylation patterns | A biological-age estimate and ageing-focused wellness report | Life expectancy, a medical diagnosis, or a broad inherited-gene panel |
| Folate — 1 Gene | Checking one common MTHFR variant at the lowest regular price | A focused result for MTHFR C677T | Current folate, vitamin B12, or homocysteine levels |
| Folate — 2 Genes | Getting more MTHFR detail than the one-gene option | Results for MTHFR C677T and A1298C | Current homocysteine or nutrient status |
| Vitamin D Metabolism | Understanding inherited patterns related to vitamin D processing | Targeted genetic context for vitamin D transport, conversion, and receptor activity | Your present vitamin D blood level or vitamin D deficiency |
| Zinc and Iron Metabolism | Understanding inherited patterns related to two essential minerals | Targeted genetic context for zinc and iron absorption, transport, and regulation | Current ferritin, hemoglobin, serum iron, or zinc levels |

See Price and DetailsImportant distinctions
Genetic Testing and Biological-Age Testing Are Different
Inherited Genetic Tests
The DNA Methylation, folate, vitamin D, and zinc-and-iron tests examine inherited DNA variants. These variants generally do not change over time.
- Provide genetic predisposition or pathway context
- Do not measure current vitamin or mineral levels
- Do not directly measure how well a pathway is functioning today
Biological Age Test
The Biological Age Test evaluates age-related DNA methylation patterns rather than providing the same inherited-gene report as the comprehensive DNA Methylation Test.
- Provides an estimated biological age
- Requires online kit activation
- Does not predict lifespan or diagnose disease
Important: These tests are intended for personal education and wellness
planning. They do not diagnose vitamin deficiencies, methylation disorders, anemia,
osteoporosis, mental-health conditions, or other medical conditions. Do not start, stop,
or change medication or supplements based only on a genetic report.
How it works
