Description

Methylation Panel Saliva Test

The Methylation Panel measures relevant genetic variations that can affect methylation and key nutrients to determine the status of methylation in the body and if it is inhibited by genetic abnormalities. If you were diagnosed with or suspect major cardiovascular or neurodegenerative diseases such as cardiovascular disease or Alzheimer’s, you may benefit from this panel.

Why is This Test Important?

  • Methylation is a critical cellular process that occurs in the body a billion times per second, and aids in processing nutrients and molecules to support various body systems.
  • Methylation pathways have significant overlap with virtually all organ systems and metabolic functions in the human body, and can impact health, energy, detoxification, emotional and psychological function, and cognition.
  • Key nutrients play a role in methylation, and without optimal levels of these nutrients in the correct form, methylation can become impaired and dysfunctional, leading to illness, disease, and affecting quality of life.
  • A genetic abnormality of one or more genes related to methylation can cause methylation cycles to become dysfunctional.
  • The Vibrant Methylation panel tests for the key nutrients required in methylation as well as genetic markers to indicate any abnormalities.
  • The Methylation panel assesses your methylation status and unique genetic nutritional needs so you can make effective, appropriate lifestyle changes.

About Test

About Methylation Panel

Key Details

  • Review your kit - When you receive the test kit in the mail, review its contents, and read through the information provided with the kit.
  • This is a salivary (saliva) collection kit that you will collect for at home.
  • Do not brush your teeth, eat, or drink anything but water for 2-3 hours before each saliva sample collection.
  • Ship samples back to the lab as soon as possible. 

Preparation & Timing

  • No eating a major meal within 60 minutes of sample collection.
  • Avoid foods with high sugar or acidity, or high caffeine content, immediately before sample collection
  • Rinse mouth with water to remove food residue and waiting at least 10 minutes after rinsing to avoid sample dilution before collecting saliva.
  • Passive drool - allowing saliva to naturally pool in mouth and then spit. Repeat this process to fill required saliva. Do not simulate saliva collection.

Requisition & Payment

  • Forms Included with your kit:
    • Requisition form: Confirm your information is correct on this form.
      • Since your kit has been prepaid, you do not need to fill in the payment information on any of these forms.
