The cost of a DNA analysis from MyBody-X depends on the test package, typically ranging from €100 to €400. Basic genetic tests are cheaper, while comprehensive panels (e.g., metabolism, stress, longevity) cost more. However, the price usually covers only the lab analysis and a standardized report. Genetic counseling or personalized clinical interpretation is often extra. Importantly, the effect sizes of most tested variants are small – lifestyle and environment play a much larger role in health outcomes. Hidden costs may include follow-up tests, report updates, or doctor consultations. Before purchasing, check what specific genes and SNPs are included; MyBody-X lists them on the product page. Without that list, the test's value is unclear. Evidence for consumer DNA tests is generally rated as 'marketing' or 'unclear' because no robust trials show improved health outcomes from testing alone. Safety note: these tests are not diagnostic; any concerning results should be discussed with a healthcare professional. Always compare costs with clinical utility – many variants have weak or no actionable evidence.
