Why Do a DNA Test?

As humans, we each have 20,000 and 25,000 genes. It may seem to be a lot, but most genes are the same in all of us. There’s only less than one percent of them that will be different, and it’s this one percent that makes us different. The science of genetics helps us to understand what these small differences mean, and a DNA test is one of the best way for us to have a glimpse at those differences.

What is Epigenetics?

Your genes contribute directly to your health and wellbeing, but so do your behaviours and environment, such as what do you eat and how active you’re physically. You can affect your epigenetic through your lifestyles. This is why many people do a DNA test – to better understand themselves and support their health and wellbeing.

What is DNA?

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), frustratingly hard to pronounce, but beautiful in its elegance. Its double helix structure carries the genetic instructions used in all known organisms, such as growth, development, functioning and reproduction.

Chronological Age vs. Biological Age?

Did you know there are two types of age: chronological and biological age. Chronological age is the exact number of years that you’ve been alive, whereas your biological age reflects on how your cells are aging. It can be affected by your way of living, such as diet, lifestyle, exercise and environment. The specialised bioinformatics and science teams from Muhdo have identified the genes and those biomarkers that correlate to cellular aging.

How Does it Work?

You may have heard of the DNA test, but there’s a deeper level called epigenetic test, which is capable of determining your biological age. Muhdo uses epigenetic analysis to generate a selection of reports you won’t find elsewhere. You can trust our dedicated teams of award scientists to make sure your results are accurate and useful.
We do not collect any blood from you, so there are no needles involved. All that is needed from you is a small saliva sample that you send back to us in a pre-paid envelope.
