I checked out my DNA entirely to satisfy my curiosity ... and while there were no great surprises (my family tree goes back 13 generations in this country) I was able to dispel a myth that there was Native American blood on my mother's side! Overall, a fascinating complement to my sense of self and connection to my ancestors.

DISAPPOINTED

I was hoping for a more specific breakdown than just "You are 97% Eastern European." I also felt that their predictions such as whether your earlobes are attached or not or whether you are a light or heavy sleeper was really "padding" the information. One already knows these things about oneself --- you don't need to submit a saliva test to find out. I realize that this test has the potential to reveal fascinating information, and useful medical information (especially if you are planning on starting a family) but for me, it told me nothing I didn't already know. I thought it was overpriced for what I, personally, got in return and I was very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Medical Info is Worthwhile
on February 7, 2017

My husband chose this product for us because he was interested in the medical information. It was worthwhile. I would have liked more ancestry information, and perhaps the state of the knowledge/techniques is not there yet. All expectations from the company and the product including the website was exactly as expected which was a good experience. The receipt of the product and results were received before expected. The networking was worthwhile.
