• MTRR: Plays a role in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, critical for protein synthesis.
• MTR: Impacts homocysteine metabolism.
• Folate Methylation Requirement: Insights into folate and homocysteine balance.
• Vitamin B6, B12, Riboflavin, Choline & Betaine: Support for homocysteine metabolism and methylation processes.

3. Hormone Support

This test assesses several genes related to hormone function, including:

• Oestrogen Detoxification: Genes involved in the detoxification of estrogen.
• Prostate Protection: Gene combinations related to prostate health.
• Testosterone Levels: Insights into testosterone production and balance.
• Oxidative Stress & Fertility: Effects of environmental toxins on fertility and oxidative stress.
• Thyroid Function: Variations in the DIO1 gene affecting T3 and T4 levels.
• Adiponectin & Ghrelin: Hormones involved in metabolism and appetite regulation.

4. Mental Health & Cognitive Performance

Genetic insights into your mental health and cognitive performance include:

• Mental Health & Cognitive Function
• Warrior or Strategist: Insights into your personality and mental resilience.
• Sleep Support: Genetic factors affecting sleep patterns.
• Stress Management: Genetic predispositions for stress response.

5. Detoxification Sensitivity

This test measures your sensitivity to a variety of environmental toxins:
