About this test

This DNA swab test looks at genetic markers the provider links to the female hormone pathway, covering production, activation and detoxification of oestrogen, alongside cardiovascular and bone health, blood clotting, mood, methylation and susceptibility to conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis and PMS or menopausal symptoms. It also flags vitamin and mineral needs that may be higher at certain life stages, such as pregnancy or menopause, and comes with nutrition and lifestyle guidance based on the results.

At £178.25 it sits around 22% above the £145.63 median for the eight similarly sized genetic and DNA tests we track, making it one of the pricier tests in this category. The sample is a simple at-home cheek swab sent by post, with results taking around 30 days.

It scores around the middle to upper range for clinical depth given its 18 markers, but value for money is one of its weaker areas because of the above-median price. Collection convenience benefits from the simple at-home swab, offset by the month-long wait for results.

Who is it for?

This suits women wanting a broad genetic view of hormone balance, cardiovascular and bone health, and susceptibility to conditions like PCOS or endometriosis, particularly around life stages such as pregnancy or menopause when nutrient needs shift. It is less suited to anyone prioritising price, since it is priced above the wider category median for genetic tests of this size.

There is no single named alternative to compare against, though the broader genetic and DNA category median sits at £145.63 for tests of this size.

How it works

You take a cheek swab sample at home and post it to the lab. Once it arrives, the genetic markers are analysed and the results, along with a nutrition and lifestyle guide, are reviewed by a doctor before being sent back to you, typically within around 30 days.
