myDNA Personalized Wellness Test

Completing the swab is simple, and can be completed in the safety, comfort, and privacy of your own home in only 1 minute. Once you’ve completed your swab, simply mail it back to our lab for analysis.

It takes our lab 10 – 15 days to process your results and generate/deliver your personalized plans after the swab is received at the lab. The total time it takes from purchasing for your results to be delivered to you varies based on the amount of time it takes for the postage system to deliver you your kit, and then to deliver your swab back to our lab for analysis.

All our kits are simple to complete and follow the same procedure.

Firstly, you’ll need to purchase your own kit online.

Once you’ve 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.

To collect your DNA, all you’ll 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.

Once you’ve 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’s left is to place it into the reply-paid envelope and mail it back to our lab for analysis.

Swab, register, send – it’s that easy!

Samples typically take 4-5 weeks to process. When your results are ready you will receive an email with a link to the myDNA Unlocked App to view them.

No, the subscriptions are optional.

After purchasing a myDNA Personalized Wellness Kit, you will need to create a myDNA account so you can link your DNA sample to your account. This account will grant you access to the myDNA Unlocked App. All our content including insights and plans are delivered in this app.

You can optionally choose to add a myDNA Premium membership to your account when signing up. You will not be charged for this membership until your free period expires.

30 days free membership is included in every Personalized Wellness Kit. If you only wish to obtain your initial DNA insights, there is no obligation to subscribe.

You can unsubscribe at any point during your Premium Membership. Even if you unsubscribe, you will keep any insights you gained during your membership period. You will also be able to continue enjoying Premium features until the end of the billing cycle (when your Membership is due to renew).

Our clinical team have a rich history in genetics, bioinformatics, nutrigenomics, and pharmacogenomics.  Between them, they have over a century’s worth of combined experience, and have analyzed thousands of peer-reviewed and academic papers.

We’ve 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. To ensure only the strongest evidence is used, we use an evidence rating scale based on guidelines set by the Oxford Center for Evidence Based Medicine.

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.

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.

After completing your swab analysis, your swab will be stored in our secure vault at -84°C 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.

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.
