Genes are our body's blueprints and control every function in your body. This includes how you use and absorb nutrients. A gene mutation (i.e. change) can impact how the gene works. When this happens, corresponding vitamins and minerals are absorbed, metabolized, or utilized improperly. When we identify a mutation, your dose or nutrient type is adjusted accordingly to bypass or support these inefficiencies. DNA analysis can reveal which vitamins and minerals your body needs, and which dosages are best.Our DNA test looks at genes, very specifically SNPs (single nucletotide polymorphisms). These genes code for 3D protein structures called enzymes. Enzymes drive reactions forward. Genes become relevant to human health because these SNPs can change how well enzymes work, something called enzyme kinetics.

The cheek-swab DNA test analyzes gene variants that are scientifically proven to impact your nutrient needs.

What will the DNA test tell me?

Rootine’s DNA test looks at an assortment of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that can impact methylation, heart and brain health, inflammation and much more. We use this information as part of our algorithm to formulate your precision multivitamin dosing. 

What genetic mutations do we test for?

Once received by the lab, DNA testing can take between 3-5 weeks before results are available.

Once available, you'll be able to view your results in your Rootine dashboard

How does DNA determine nutrient needs?

The DNA test should only be completed once as the genes we are testing are inherited, and will not change over time.

Do I need to take the DNA test more than once? 

Including DNA data will further customize your vitamin recommendation, but it is not required. You can obtain DNA data by ordering an at-home test from Rootine or by sharing results from a test you’ve completed with 23andMe or Ancestry.com. The latter two options require a manual upload of the data (in your dashboard).
