DO A HOME DNA TEST

-

The home DNA testing kit comes with a swab in a plastic tube.

Carefully holding the swab at the stick end, collect cells by rubbing the bud end firmly on the inside of the cheek. Place the swab back in the tube without touching the bud. Fill in short questionna­ire, which includes choosing which panels you’d like to test. Post the package in the packet included. The lab takes a few days to complete the tests. I went for a consultati­on with Dr Van Loggerenbe­rg once my results were in.

The panels include: DNA Gluten - R1 540 DNA Diet - R1 890 DNA Estrogen - R2 480 DNA Sport - R2 480 DNA mycardioRx - R3 540 DNA mypainRx - R3 540
