DNA is collected using a simple, non-invasive cheek swab and is sent to our lab where we
analyze approximately 84 genetic markers from about 65 genes which play well characterized roles in various biological processes. The results are summarized in an easy-to-read report.

All of the recommendations included in the LoveMyHealth report are based on peer-reviewed, published studies showing the impact of genetic variants on outcomes, and we strictly stay within Health Canada’s RDA guidelines (for Recommended Dietary Allowances).

Results are delivered via our Secure, HIPAA-compliant Portal.
