About this test

About this test

10X Health's Methylation Genetic Test is designed for users who want a focused DNA look at methylation-related genes without moving into a much broader nutrigenomic panel. It sits between a narrow MTHFR-only test and a more expansive pathway-based report.

Who is this test for?

This test is best for users who want a simple methylation genetics starting point, especially those interested in nutrient conversion, folate use, and practical wellness optimisation without taking on a very broad report.

How the test works

You complete an at-home DNA test kit and receive a report focused on a small number of methylation-related genes. The product is positioned to turn that information into more practical guidance around nutrient processing and wellness.

Pros & cons

  • Clear methylation-focused positioning
  • Includes MTHFR within a broader small-gene set
  • Simple at-home DNA collection
