Not impressed with Health service, Ancestry broad

The positive thing is there is a lot of research on the ancestry reports, and the more people who participate, the more feedback everyone will get. Seeing the different maps and learning about the history is extremely interesting. However, I paid extra for the health services and I was not impressed for the price, maybe if it were included in the price of the DNA. Personally, there was very little health feedback, 81 reports but none had anything to do with my DNA, so the data was helpless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My reports said I had the genetic markers for Hereditary hemochromatosis and celiacs disease. I was diagnosed with hemochromatosis years ago and have had intestinal problems for years. They were the only 2 markers noted and I have both issues, so your tests were right on. And unfortunately, the predisposition to weigh about 11 percent more than average was correct as well !! I have recommended your test to at least 6 people, all of whom took it and found the tests were pretty much correct. I was however, shocked at my ancestry. Interesting stuff!

I submitted my sample a year ago and learned a lot about my ancestry. The research updates are fascinating.

I was impressed with the accuracy about my traits. The reports gave information and graphs to show the lineage where the variants existed and scientific history. There was additional info to handle medical issues.

Easy sampling

Test kit was simple and easy, results returned earlier than expected. I enjoy answering the ongoing research questions. I'm frustrated that once you've got your dna, you have to jump thru hoops to figure out (healthwise) what it could mean. If you get very far with that and you bring your findings to your doctor, good luck getting anyone to prescribe based on the results. Overall, it's been a disappointing experience, from that perspective. On the ancestry side, it's been interesting to see where my ancestors came from.

The results were available for my chiropractor to look at and address for which supplements I may want to take. This is my first time looking at my results through 23 and me.

My mother never knew who her father was. Now, thanks to 23andMe, we have discovered who her father was and conected with her previously unknown siblings.

the best of what's out there

this has been a good and learning experience. the ancestry and health information are good and explain ancestry origins much farther back than genealogical records so can be quite different than we thought. we are not supposed to mention competitors so I won't mention names but another service got my relationship with my sister completely wrong whereas 23andme got it right. On the negative side, not having a family tree feature on 23andme makes finding these DNA matches difficult to discern. On the health front, the list of traits like asparagus urine and similar traits are basically useless and the space could be devoted to more genetic carrier status or health risk features.
