Insitome DNA Test Kit: Metabolism Genetic Traits Profile (Ancestry) powered by Helix

This product is a great experience compared to the other food and metabolism DNA tests you can buy. Rather than simply giving you a readout of your results, they tell a history-rich story about how those traits developed in humans over time and came to be part of your genome. I went ahead and bought a dozen more kits from Insitome.

I just love the new Metabolism app from Insitome! It is like opening doors to your past and then seeing how that has shaped your modern day life and health. One of the things I love about this app (and this applies to all the Insitome apps) is that it links to your DNA that has already been sequenced by Helix, and then opens new chapters in getting to know YOU. It was fun to see whether or not my genes were closer to a history as a hunter or a gatherer on what is called the Paleo scale. Then the app displays what your personal DNA story is related to a number of metabolism traits such as alcohol, coffee and lactose, to name just a few. The app actually discusses some of the specific genes involved, then goes on to provide information on these genes and how they impact you as a modern human. For myself, Insitome continues to bring a new and exciting personal approach to the continuing story of ME!

What a great product and experience! First, when my kit arrived I found the directions in collecting my saliva sample to be very simple and straightforward. Popped my sample into the mail and waited just a short period to get my results. Seond, having previously tried two other DNA products that I found the results hard to interpret, I was really excited to have a completely different experience with my Insitome results. It really felt like I was being told a story about me. Beautiful design and interface and fascinating results to boot. I’ve now done their Neanderthal and Metabolism traits and am looking forward to their future products. Have literally recommended it to everyone I know.

I would highly recommend Insitome over all other DNA testing products. First off, you only need to send in ONE spit sample and then you can easily purchase all of their products and view your results within minutes. Each chapter (product) offers up an insightful story catered to YOU. Perfect, unique holiday gift!

My wife and both sent in test. We only got one back. I have no idea what was sent to me. I think it was a complete waste of money.

Horrible website...could not log in ti gat any results and I could get no help. Never again will I deal with this company!

I bought this for my mom for Christmas. She loves anything to do with family history. She will be excited to see the result of the test. Me too!

2 months later still waiting on results! Will request a refund. Links that were emailed to me for the results come back as non existen. Fed up!
