DNA test step three – Results report arrived 7/11/2019

My DNA test result arrived. I sent out my saliva sample on June 14th and it arrived at their lab on June 18th. From there, it took 24 days for them to process it. It was faster than their description. It says it takes 4-6 weeks.

Before I purchased the DNA test from this company, I read many customers’ reviews. The Asian customers disappointed about this company’s ancestry report. They are not good at breaking up in details of the Asian area. They were right. My ancestry report was very boring. It says I am 99.97% from Northeast Asia. The area is vast. It includes “China, South Korea, Mongolia, Siberia, Japan, Kazakhstan, and North Korea.” It was not interesting at all. Maybe I can expect more detailed location information if I buy other company’s ancestry report in the future.

The good information from my skin report was I look younger than my actual age thanks to the influenced by genetics. Also my skin is highly effective at producing melanin in response to UV rays so that I will get a deep tan, rather than burn. My skin won’t have damage due to sun exposure. It says my skin barrier should work more effectively so that I won’t have dry skin. Considering the current environment under strong sun and dry air in Arizona, I think my skin is doing well. I don’t have dry skin. The only one negative information in my skin report was about high possibility to have freckles and Eczema. However, I don’t have any trouble in them in real life.

– Thus, I don’t have much trouble in skin trait thanks to my genetics.

As for my diet trait, the positive parts are: my alcohol metabolism is normal. I won’t have a tendency of stress eating. I won’t regain weight after diet. My body is not sensitive to salt. Omega-3 fat acid level, cholesterol level, triglyceride level, and polyunsaturated fatty acids are normal. On the other hand, the negative parts are: my metabolism speed of caffeine and carbohydrate is slow. My body is intolerance of lactose and gluten. My body can easily get overweight. Monounsaturated fatty acids level is low, and saturated fatty acids level is high.

– In order to improve diet trait, I have to pay attention to the intake amount of caffeine, carbohydrate, cow milk products, and gluten products as my body takes time to metabolize them.

As for my Micronutrient trait, the positive parts are: I have normal level in Phosphate, copper, vitamin A, magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and zinc. On the other hand, I have low level in folate, selenium, vitamin E, iron, vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D.  

Based on this, I purchased a multi-vitamin supplement that can cover my micronutrient.

Wrapping up, I am satisfied with this company’s test result, considering the low cost of the test.

I want to purchase another company’s DNA test for more detailed information about my health trait by genetic. I heard they will have a big sale during the Black Friday after Thanksgiving. I will wait for the sale.
