I had a feeling that the meds my daughter had been on since birth weren’t actually working for her and, sure enough, my DNA showed that she over-metabolises this particular medication rendering it pretty much ineffective. We then consulted with her medical team and have since switched her to a different class of meds which has been amazing.<\/p>\n

Firstly, you’ll need to purchase your own kit online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve received your kit, be sure not to eat, drink or smoke for at least 30min before swabbing. Your kit will come with a swab (enclosed in a protective pouch), barcode and personal details slip, instructions, and reply-paid envelope.<\/p>\n

To collect your DNA, all you\u2019ll need to do is remove the swab from its pouch then swab the inside of your mouth by rubbing the swab over your cheek for 30 seconds on each side of your mouth.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve swabbed your mouth, fill out your details on the barcode sheet and attach the sticker onto your swab tube. Be sure to register your barcode in the myDNA Unlocked App. Then all that\u2019s left is to place it into the reply-paid envelope and mail it back to our lab for analysis.<\/p>\n

Swab, register, send \u2013 it\u2019s that easy![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How much does testing cost?” tab_id=”how-much-does-testing-cost”][vc_column_text]myDNA Personalised Wellness
\n<\/strong>A myDNA Personalised Wellness Test Kit currently costs $99.00<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. Completing this kit will provide you with insights into Nutrition, Fitness, Caffeine, B Vitamins, Sleep, and more.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Does it really work? What\u2019s the evidence for it?” tab_id=”does-it-work”][vc_column_text]Our clinical team have a rich history in genetics, bioinformatics, nutrigenomics, and pharmacogenomics. \u00a0Between them, they have over a century\u2019s worth of combined experience, and have analysed thousands of peer-reviewed and academic papers.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve done extensive research across thousands of peer-reviewed studies, and the evidence suggests your DNA does play a part in how your body responds to foods, exercise, vitamins, medication and more. We have a list of clinical references available here<\/a>. To ensure only the strongest evidence is used, we use an evidence rating scale based on guidelines set by the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine.<\/p>\n

The myDNA test is not a silver bullet solution to your health and wellness. However, with our DNA insights and plans, you will have everything you need to make sense of your genetics and put you on a path to achieving your goals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What happens to my DNA after testing? Is my data secure?” tab_id=”is-my-data-secure”][vc_column_text]Privacy and security are one of our top concerns at myDNA. We firmly believe your DNA and data are your property. All data, including your DNA results and personal information are stored on highly secure and encrypted servers and are not shared with anyone else.<\/p>\n

After completing your swab analysis, your swab will be stored in our secure vault at -84\u00b0C to prevent it from spoiling. We keep your sample in case new evidence becomes available and we need to re-run your sample for more analysis in future. However, you are free to request your sample be disposed of at any point. Our lab will securely and safely destroy your sample.<\/p>\n

For our analysis, we only examine the genes and markers which are required to deliver our insights and plans. This means your results will not include factors like disease risk and remain anonymous (they cannot be used to personally identify you). None of our testing has any bearing on your insurance and will not be shared with other companies or third parties.<\/p>\n
