The Toxin Genetics Test assesses for multiple genetic variations that affect detoxification. This test is available as a stand-alone test by sampling saliva to determine an individual’s risk for impaired detoxification.
Why is This Test Important?
Genetic variations in genes that code for detox enzymes can affect detoxification in the body, leaving you susceptible to inefficient detoxing, toxic build-ups, or infections.
Some SNPs are linked to an inability to detox substances quickly enough, while others cause individuals to detox too quickly, both of which can be damaging to the body.
Slow detoxifiers may have a decreased ability to eliminate toxins effectively, potentially increasing their susceptibility to toxin-related health conditions, while rapid detoxifiers may be more susceptible to adverse reactions caused by oxidative stress and an increased risk of diseases like cancer when exposed to certain medications or environmental toxins.
An impaired detoxification system is linked to a wide range of conditions and chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s
Additionally, defective detoxing and toxic overload can be the cause and effect of one another, resulting in a vicious cycle.

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.
