What is Methylation?
Methylation: Broken Down
Methylation is a chemical switch your body flips billions of times a second to turn nutrients into energy, mood and recovery. When it runs well, you feel it. When it doesn’t, the same supplements that work for others can quietly fall flat for you, and your genes decide the difference.

Why methylation matters
Human biologist and longevity expert Gary Brecka breaks down why methylation sits at the centre of how you feel, and what a simple genetic test can reveal.
- Why the same supplements work for some people and not others
- How your genes shape energy, focus and mood
- What a methylation test actually tells you
The science behind methylation
Your methylation pathway runs on a set of genes, and small, common differences in them change how well the whole system works. That variation is why two people can eat and supplement the same, yet feel completely different. This test reads the 13 genes with the clearest links to how you use nutrients.
The 13 genes we read
A curated panel with the clearest links to energy, focus and how you use nutrients. Tap a gene to learn more.
MTHFR
The big one. Affects how well you use folate and B vitamins for energy and mood.
COMT
Affects focus, how you handle stress, and how you react to caffeine.
MTR
Works with vitamin B12 to help keep your energy systems ticking over.
MTRR
Helps keep your vitamin B12 working properly.
MTHFD1
Helps your body use folate to build and repair cells.
CBS
Helps clear a by-product of the process so things run smoothly.
BHMT
A back-up route that uses nutrients from foods like eggs and beetroot.
SHMT
Helps share folate between repairing cells and making energy.
AHCY
Helps stop the process backing up so it keeps running.
MAO A
Affects mood and stress by managing brain chemicals like serotonin.
NOS3
Linked to blood flow and heart health.
VDR
Affects how well your body responds to vitamin D.
ACAT
Linked to how you make energy and handle fats.

Questions before you test?
What does the test measure?
It reads 13 genes across your methylation pathway, the system that controls how your body uses folate, B vitamins and other key nutrients. Your report turns that into personalised supplement guidance.
How do I take it?
A simple at-home DNA swab, no clinic and no needles. Register your kit online, collect your sample, and post it back in the prepaid packaging. Results are delivered digitally.
Is my DNA data private?
Your sample is used to generate your report. See healf’s privacy policy and the information with your kit for how your data is stored and handled.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. This is a wellness and educational test, not a medical diagnostic. If you have a health condition or take medication, speak to a healthcare professional before acting on your results.
How does the offer work?
Add the kit to your basket and your second kit is free at checkout, no code needed. Perfect to test with a partner, parent or friend.
