Methylation DNA testing is very popular now thanks to world renowned biohackers like Gary Brecka from Ultimate Human and the UK’s own Tim Gray.
There are over 20,000 genes in the human body and with many labs offering methylation DNA testing it can be a daunting choice picking which one to order.
Here are some top tips from our Genetics Team to consider prior to purchasing;
Read MoreVitamin B9, commonly referred to as folate, comes in many forms, and choosing the right one can make a significant difference in how your body uses it. You’ve likely seen different names on food packaging or supplements, such as folic acid, folate, folinic acid, and 5-MTHF, but they’re not all created equal.
Read MoreThe immune system is the body’s natural defense against infections, and its function can be influenced by many factors, including diet, genetics, and nutrient levels. While there is no single food or supplement that can provide a "magic boost" to the immune system, optimising nutrient intake is essential for supporting immune health. Nutrients like vitamins A, C, D, folate, iron, and zinc are key to maintaining strong immune responses, and genetic factors can influence how well your body absorbs and utilises these nutrients.
Read MoreInflammation is the body's natural defence mechanism against injury and infection, a process that typically promotes healing. However, when inflammation persists and becomes chronic, it can trigger a range of serious health issues, including autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular problems, and metabolic disorders. While factors such as diet, stress, and environmental toxins significantly influence inflammation levels, genetics also plays a crucial role in determining your susceptibility to inflammatory conditions. This article delves into twelve specific genetic variants linked to an increased risk of chronic inflammation, offering insights into your genetic predisposition and how to tailor health strategies to mitigate these risks effectively.
Read MoreThe distinction between methylated or active vitamins and their non-active counterparts is crucial for many individuals, especially those with specific genetic variations (SNPs) that impact vitamin metabolism. Here, we’ll explore these differences, highlight key examples, and explain how genetic SNP testing can play a significant role in determining which vitamins are best for you.

Understanding the MTHFR Gene: Functions, Variants, and Implications
The MTHFR (Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase) gene is a key player in a critical metabolic process known as methylation, which is essential for DNA synthesis, repair, and overall cellular function. The enzyme produced by the MTHFR gene converts 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the active form of folate. This active folate is crucial for converting homocysteine into methionine, an amino acid necessary for many biological functions, including the synthesis of proteins and neurotransmitters.
