Hormon & VitalCheck für Frauen: what does this mean exactly?

The MyBody-X 'Hormon & VitalCheck für Frauen' is a DNA-based test that analyzes genetic variants related to hormone metabolism and nutrient utilization (e.g., vitamin D, B12, iron). It does **not** measure current hormone or nutrient levels in the blood. Instead, it provides insights into genetic predispositions that may influence needs or regulation. The evidence for such genetic markers is often weak (GWAS, small effect sizes). For clinical assessment – e.g., cycle irregularities, fatigue, or menopausal symptoms – blood tests (TSH, estradiol, ferritin, vitamin D) and medical consultation are essential. This test is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace clinical evaluation. The evidence level is 'marketing/unclear' because the actual clinical relevance of the tested SNPs is limited.
