Your data is no one’s business
You are 100% in control of your genetic information. We will never share or sell your data to a third party. Period.
If desired, you can permanently delete your genetic data from your account and our encrypted HIPAA-compliant servers at any time – no questions asked.
Trusted and certified lab
Your DNA is in trusted hands. We’ve proudly partnered with Labcorp®, the global leader in genomic and medical diagnostics.
Labcorp is fully CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited, and HIPAA-verified. Over 50 years of state-of-the-art expertise is behind the lab handling your DNA.
Anonymized barcode system
Your saliva sample and DNA results are only identifiable via an anonymized barcode system. Your results are stored on encrypted HIPAA-compliant servers, separate from servers that contain any personal information.
Even Labcorp geneticists who operate under regulated federal guidelines will only ever see the unique barcode on your tube – never your name, address, or any other personal data traceable to you.
Saliva samples are destroyed
We are aware that biobanking (i.e. storage of samples) can lead to advances in research. Unfortunately, biobanking-dependent research can also involve complex procedures that could risk the privacy of our customers.
That’s why we intentionally do not engage in biobanking. Your saliva sample will be automatically destroyed by a geneticist after it is sequenced at our lab.

It all starts with our easy DNA test kit. Visit our How It Works page and see how to get personalized vitamins tailored to your DNA and lifestyle in 3 simple steps.
Your saliva contains DNA from cells in your mouth. When you send your saliva sample to our certified lab, our geneticists will extract the DNA from your saliva. Your DNA then gets processed on a genotyping chip that targets specific markers in your DNA to look for variants. When genotyping is complete, your results will be presented in your nutrigenomic report.
Our 3 day turnaround time is the fastest in the DNA testing industry. This means that once our lab receives your sample, your DNA report and personalized vitamin recommendations will be available within just 3 days. Learn how we move at warp speed.
