DNA tests

DNA tests help you understand how your genetics play a part in your health. They work from a laboratory-analysed sample of your saliva.

This is easily collected by rubbing the swab provided against your cheek. In-pack and online instructions can help you activate your account, collect your sample quickly and easily before sending it to our laboratory.

Once we have received your sample, we’ll process it and you’ll receive your results in 48-72 hours via your secure MyHealthChecked account. Your individual report will analyse the genetic areas relevant to the healthcare area tested, and your result will show how your genetic profile can influence your health and what you can do optimise your health and/or minimise any risks related to your results.

Your DNA doesn’t change so your results are relevant for your lifetime.
