minus-squareSquirrelsdrivemenuts@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoWhich genetic testing are you talking about specifically?
minus-squareParagone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days agoSorry, I’m not too helpful here: I’d paid-for 100x oversampling testing, & discovered a few interesting things, but not much I cared about… There’s a vitamin-D affecting gene, that makes one only need a small amount of the stuff, because somehow one’s body over-conserves it. I’d never known about any such condition… So, for me, a plain multivitamin will always be sufficient, for vitamin-D. The service I went-with wasn’t recommended by others who knew the companies better than I did. & I don’t remember the one they did recommend. Not the 23andMe shit, but the next level up… Maybe ask several LLM’s to find some, & compare/contrast their results, in order to get current view? Sorry I couldn’t help better… _ /\ _
