Pharmacogenetic tests analyze genetic variants affecting drug metabolism—they are not validated for assessing gut microbiota or digestive issues.

Similarly, MTHFR variants are often marketed with weak evidence. A standalone pharmacogenetics test cannot provide actionable recommendations for gut health. Conventional diagnostics (e.g., stool analysis, endoscopy) and medical consultation should take priority.
