9,000+ locations
Broad inherited genetic analysis rather than a single-gene result.
Approx. 10 days
Laboratory turnaround after your sample reaches the lab.
Electronic report
Review genes, genotypes, pathways and interpretation context.

What Does the DNA Methylation Test Analyze?
This test examines inherited DNA variants associated with methylation-related pathways. The analysis includes genes involved in folate metabolism, one-carbon metabolism, the methionine cycle and other connected pathways.
The value is not a single “good” or “bad” gene result. Instead, the report organizes multiple findings so you can review genetic pathway context across genes such as MTHFR, COMT and MTR.
Important distinction: This is an inherited genetic variant test. It does not directly measure your current methylation activity, folate, vitamin B12, homocysteine or other nutrient levels.
Before you order
What Will You See in Your Genetic Methylation Report?
Previewing the report before purchasing is one of the easiest ways to determine whether the test matches what you actually want to learn.

How Does At-Home DNA Methylation Testing Work?
You do not need to visit a Methylation.us clinic to complete the standard at-home workflow. The kit is ordered online, collected at home and returned according to the supplied laboratory instructions.
- Order your test online. Review the DNA Methylation Test details and complete your purchase.
- Receive your collection kit. Review the supplied instructions before collecting your sample.
- Collect your oral-swab sample. Complete the collection at home according to the kit instructions.
- Return the sample. Use the supplied packaging and return instructions rather than assuming a local clinic or drop-off process.
- Receive your electronic report. Laboratory turnaround is approximately 10 days after the sample reaches the laboratory. Shipping and transit time are separate.
Is this the right test?
Who May Want a DNA Methylation Test?
The test is most useful when your goal is to understand inherited genetic variation related to methylation-associated pathways rather than to diagnose symptoms or measure current nutrient levels.
You Want More Than an MTHFR-Only Test
A broader panel can provide context across multiple genes instead of treating a single MTHFR finding as the complete explanation.
You Want Pathway-Based Genetic Context
The report is designed for people who want to see how inherited variants are grouped across connected biological pathways.
You Want a Readable Genetic Report
Gene and genotype tables are accompanied by pathway explanations so the result is more useful than a raw DNA data export alone.
Buy with realistic expectations
What This Genetic Test Does Not Tell You
Understanding the limits of a genetic methylation test before ordering makes the report easier to use responsibly.
It Does Not Diagnose a Condition
Genetic variants can provide informational context, but they do not establish the cause of symptoms or provide a medical diagnosis.
It Does Not Measure Current Nutrient Levels
The test does not directly measure current folate, vitamin B12, homocysteine, vitamins, minerals or other laboratory values.
It Is Not a Stand-Alone Treatment Plan
Genetic findings alone should not determine supplements, medications or treatment decisions.

What Should You Check Before Ordering a Methylation Test?
Not every test marketed around methylation answers the same question. Check the test scope and report before purchasing.
- Review what is actually tested. Determine whether the product analyzes one gene, multiple genes, inherited variants or direct methylation markers.
- Preview the report. Check whether the final result contains pathway explanations, gene tables and enough context for you to understand it.
- Check collection and turnaround. Understand the sample type, return workflow and when the estimated laboratory turnaround begins.
- Confirm current pricing before checkout. Product pricing and promotions can change, so use the live pricing page or product page when you are ready to purchase.
- Understand the limitations. Do not purchase a genetic variant test expecting it to measure current folate, B12, homocysteine or overall methylation levels.
DNA methylation testing in the USA
Ordering an At-Home Methylation Test in the United States
If you searched for a DNA methylation test near me, the ordering experience is different from finding a local blood-draw clinic. Methylation.us uses an at-home collection workflow for customers in supported U.S. locations.
Your location mainly affects ordering, shipping and sample return logistics. It does not change the biological interpretation of your inherited genetic results.
Before ordering, confirm the current product details, shipping eligibility and collection instructions for the delivery address you plan to use.
At-home—not a local clinic appointment
The standard workflow uses a kit shipped for home
collection.
Follow your kit's return instructions
Do not assume that a nearby lab or local drop-off is part
of the return process.
Results are delivered electronically
Your report organizes the tested genetic findings after
laboratory analysis is complete.

Ordering FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions Before Ordering a DNA Methylation Test
Quick answers about ordering, sample collection, report scope, turnaround and what this type of genetic testing can and cannot tell you.
Can I order a DNA methylation test online?
Yes. The DNA Methylation Test can be ordered online for customers in supported U.S. locations. The standard workflow uses an at-home oral-swab collection kit.
Do I need to visit a clinic for the test?
The standard collection workflow is completed at home. Follow the collection and return instructions supplied with your kit rather than assuming a local clinic visit or laboratory drop-off is required.
What genes are included in the DNA methylation test?
The broader analysis covers more than 9,000 genetic locations and includes methylation-related genes such as MTHFR, COMT and MTR, along with additional genes included in the panel.
Does the test include MTHFR?
Yes. MTHFR is included as part of the broader genetic methylation analysis rather than being treated as the only relevant methylation-related gene.
How long does the DNA methylation test take?
The listed laboratory turnaround is approximately 10 days after the sample reaches the laboratory. Delivery and return-shipping time are separate from laboratory processing.
Can I see a sample report before ordering?
Yes. Review the sample report before purchasing to see the layout, gene tables, pathway explanations and level of interpretation provided.
Does this test measure my current methylation level?
No. The test examines inherited genetic variants associated with methylation-related pathways. It is not a direct measurement of current DNA methylation activity or current nutrient levels.
Does the test measure folate, B12 or homocysteine?
No. The report may discuss pathways involving these nutrients or compounds, but it does not measure your present folate, vitamin B12 or homocysteine concentration.
Can the genetic report diagnose my symptoms?
No. Genetic wellness testing provides inherited genetic context and should not be used by itself to diagnose a medical condition or determine the cause of symptoms.
Important health information:
DNA methylation genetic testing provides informational context
about inherited DNA variants. It does not diagnose, prevent or
treat disease and does not directly measure your current
methylation activity, vitamin, mineral, nutrient, hormone,
homocysteine or other laboratory levels. Genetic results should
be interpreted together with relevant medical history, symptoms,
medications, lifestyle and appropriate clinical testing.
Discuss medical concerns, supplements, medications or treatment
decisions with a qualified healthcare professional.
