Your lifestyle plays an important role in getting adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals, however, your DNA also plays a part in influencing your vitamin and mineral needs.
Open the package and remove the collector without touching the sponge tip.
Place the swab tip inside your mouth and rub against your check 15 times. Repeat on the other side.
Hold the tube upright to prevent the liquid inside the tube from spilling. Unscrew the blue cap from the collection tube without touching the sponge.
Turn the cap upside down, put the sponge into the tube and close the cap tightly.
Invert the capped tube and shake 15 times.
Apart from your lifestyle, DNA also plays a part in influencing your vitamin and mineral requirements, via alteration of absorption, transportation and metabolism. People with certain genetic variants are at greater risk of vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
The Vitamin DNA Test indicates whether you have certain specific DNA that puts you at higher risk of developing vitamin deficiencies. A blood test will still be needed in order to determine actual vitamin levels.
It is not intended to replace a blood test, but to provide you with personalized guidance to help you gain a greater understanding of your specific needs.
