Product detailed description
DNA Structure: collagen tissues
Explore selected genetic predispositions related to collagen tissues. The test focuses on the COL1A1 and COL5A1 genes, which are involved in the formation and organisation of collagen fibres.
What the test assesses
- COL1A1 is related to the formation of type I collagen, found for example in bones, tendons and skin.
- COL5A1 is related to the formation of type V collagen, which helps organise collagen fibres.
What you receive
- A sampling kit and instructions for taking a cheek swab at home.
- Laboratory analysis of the specified genetic variants.
- A clear assessment and recommendations related to the result.
Who may find it useful
For adults interested in their genetic predispositions, physical activity and self-care. The result can provide additional information when discussing your lifestyle with a professional.
How testing works
- Order the test. We will send you a sampling kit.
- Take a cheek swab at home following the enclosed instructions.
- Send the sample to the specified address for laboratory analysis.
- Receive an assessment explaining your result.
Results usually within 10–20 working days of the sample arriving at the laboratory.
How to interpret the result
The test does not detect collagen deficiency or predict the effectiveness of collagen supplements. On its own, it does not determine tissue strength or whether an injury will occur.
Genetic predisposition is only one part of the overall picture. Other genes, lifestyle and health also influence the meaning of the result. The test does not replace a medical examination or individual advice from a healthcare professional.
Payment and questions
The DNA test can only be paid for by bank transfer. Card payment is not supported for this type of product.
