[test results]
What you'll get back
  • Menopause-focused genetic results on hormonal balance and long-term health
  • Hormone therapy guidance, with suggested formulations and doses
  • Supplement recommendations based on your key hormonal pathways
  • General lifestyle advice for this stage of life
[one sample]
You only give a sample once

Your DNA does not change, so a single sample covers you. Your doctor can refer back to the report as your treatment changes over the years.

[the limits]
What this test can't tell you
  • Whether you are in menopause. Your doctor confirms that from your symptoms and, if needed, blood tests.
  • Whether hormone therapy is safe for you. Your doctor decides that with your full history.
  • What will actually happen to your health. Genes are one factor, not the whole of it.

[ common questions ]

Questions people ask before buying

You are never left alone with a result. A clinical geneticist can go through it with you and explain what it means in your situation, and for most findings there is something concrete to do next. That might be earlier screening, closer monitoring, a change to a treatment plan, or knowing which relatives should be tested. Some results carry no action, and we will tell you that plainly rather than dress it up.

No. You can order any of our tests yourself, without a referral. If you would rather start with a clinic, we work with partner clinics in several locations and can point you to one.

Before you buy, yes. Our call centre team has a medical background and will help you understand the tests and choose the right one, free of charge. After your results, a session with a clinical geneticist is available and is charged separately from the test.

Saliva. It takes a few minutes, there are no needles, and you do not need to fast or prepare in any way.

Collection is usually arranged within 48 to 72 hours, either at your home or at a partner clinic. Results take 6 to 8 weeks from the moment the laboratory receives your sample, because every finding is reviewed by a geneticist against clinical databases before it reaches your report.

For conditions that only appear in adulthood, the answer is usually no. That is a deliberate choice, not an unhelpful one. A result a child cannot act on, and did not consent to, is theirs to decide about when they are old enough. Testing a child does make sense when a condition appears in childhood, or when acting early changes the outcome. If you are weighing this up, talk to us first and we will walk through it with you.
