Our DNA Nutrition Test reveals your body’s diet, exercise & lifestyle preferences according to your DNA and helps you access to 40+ in-depth reports and personalised advice from a qualified nutritionist. That's why we have created the test to be as easy to use as possible, along with step-by-step instructions included in the box. You can also find further instructions here.
In the box, you will find one collection swab to take a saliva sample from inside your cheek
Gently snap open the lid along the dotted line. Hold the swab by the white cap, taking care not to touch the swab head.
Moisten the swab head by placing it on the tip of the tongue. Close your mouth and hold the swab in a closed mouth position for 10 seconds
Open your mouth slightly and rub firmly against the inside of one cheek and lower gums for 10 seconds. We strongly recommend applying pressure with your middle and index fingers to ensure you get enough DNA.
Repeat Step 3 on the other side of the mouth for 10 seconds, again applying pressure to the outside of your cheek.
Place the swab back in the plastic tube and make sure it clicks shut. Again, take care not to touch the swab head.
Put the closed plastic tube in the bubble bag and seal the bag. Place that into the white postage bag provided and pop it in the post - no stamp required
Don't forget to register your DNA test kit via your Vitl account at vitl.com/kit.
We advise allowing 2-3 weeks for your sample to be received by the lab and 2 weeks for the results to be processed. Once the lab receives your sample, they will email you to say that they have received this. Your results should then be ready 2 weeks after this when you will receive another email notification explaining how to use the results in combination with your vitamin recommendations.
