About Gene Food
Gene Food uses a cheek-swab test to personalize nutrition and food guidance. The Basic kit centers on diet and supplements; the Methylation Bundle adds further health and medication-related reports. Analysis of an existing DNA file is a separate route.

What does the Methylation Bundle add?
It adds report areas beyond the Basic nutrition kit, including named methylation and medication-related interpretation. It remains a genetic-variant analysis, not an epigenetic-age measurement.
