DNA & Methylation Test Let's see what you're made of.
Your methylation, decoded. See how efficiently your body uses folate and other B vitamins, with insight into genes like MTHFR, MTR, MAOA and COMT.
Free gift
Free MS-01 with every test order
A 4-week supply, added to your order automatically — nothing to add, nothing to pay.
MS-01 gift with health tests and bundles, excluding Optimal DNA Link (23andMe).
One gene never tells the whole story.
MTHFR, COMT, MTR and up to 107 more genes, read together and turned into one plan.
We read up to 110 genes side by side. Then a practitioner turns them into a short, simple plan.
What is methylation?
Methylation is a natural process that helps your body decide what to do, when to do it, and how well to do it. It works like a set of switches inside your cells, turning key processes up or down as needed, including energy production, detoxification, repair, and recovery.
-
Small switches, big jobs
Small markers (called methyl groups) are added to parts of your DNA and other molecules. They don’t change who you are. They simply help your body prioritise what needs attention.
-
Why it matters
When methylation is working well, your body is better at producing energy, clearing toxins, repairing cells, and staying resilient as you age.
-
Where your genes come in
Your genes shape how efficiently your methylation cycles are likely to run, starting with how you convert folate (vitamin B9) into its usable form. Nutrition, lifestyle and stress all play a role too, so there’s plenty you can do with what you learn.
Choose your level.
Every level reads your core methylation pathways and includes a 1:1 expert consultation. Higher levels add more of your genetic picture.
