DNA analysis FAQs
Do you ship DNA kits internationally?
We ship to almost every country in the world from our distribution centres. Regrettably, we cannot currently sell / ship to Russia, China or Korea. This is because either: we cannot guarantee the safe arrival of your sample collection tube, or; you are likely to experience difficulty posting your sample back to us.
There are also a small number of countries that require us to work with the customer to complete some additional paperwork. In these cases, we'll be in touch shortly after you have ordered.
Please contact us at support@fitnessgenes.com if you have any other question.
How do I register my DNA collection kit?
Your DNA collection kit must be registered at identity.fitnessgenes.com prior to the return of your sample to avoid any delay in the delivery of your results. Instructions on how to register the kit and provide your sample are included in your delivery.
Kits are delivered unregistered to allow for gifting and provide FitnessGenes members with choice regarding the email address they use to create their personal account.
How long will it take for my results to be delivered?
Once your sample has been received by our UK-based laboratory, the process of extracting, analysing and uploading your results takes 4-6 weeks.
You will receive a confirmation email with an expected results delivery date when your sample has been received, and another email confirmation when your results are ready to view.
Will I need to take the test more than once?
No - the genetic variants that we analysis for the creation of your traits and actions are consistent throughout your lifetime, so there is no need to take the test more than once.
This is also the case for all future trait releases - we use the data gathered through the original analysis to create new traits, so there is no further action you need to take to access these. We'll just let you know when your new traits, insights and actions are ready to view.
