How accurate are the results?Skin Care DNA is a scientifically-based DNA test that utilizes the latest scientific research to examine 28 genetic markers (SNPs) in 7 categories associated with skin aging. Our DNA test is one of the most accurate on the market, giving you peace of mind when it comes to understanding your unique skin health. However, it is important to note that this test should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice. While the insights gained from our test can be helpful, we always recommend consulting with a dermatologist or other healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your skincare routine or medical decisions. Your health and well-being are our top priority, and we are here to support you on your journey to healthy skin. Healthy Weight DNA has a high level of accuracy. The test analyzes specific genetic markers related to weight management, including food and nutrient metabolism, exercise response, and weight loss ability. The results are based on the latest scientific research and are compared to a database of thousands of genetic markers. However, it's important to keep in mind that genetic testing is not a guarantee of weight loss success, as weight management is influenced by multiple factors, including lifestyle and environment. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet or exercise routine. Food and Pet Sensitivity Test is accurate as analysis includes over 30 genetic markers (SNPs) that have been shown through external research to be related to sensitivity within each test category (for example, Gluten). The number of SNPs tested varies by category.
