A compound sold in supplements; it is not an established essential human vitamin.

BCO1, also called BCMO1, helps convert beta-carotene from plant foods into retinal, a form used in vitamin A metabolism. Plant carotenoids and preformed vitamin A therefore enter the pathway at different points.

Makes the methionine synthase enzyme, which uses vitamin B12 in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine.

TCN2 helps carry vitamin B12 in the body. A gene result alone cannot tell you your B12 status.

VKORC1 encodes vitamin K epoxide reductase, part of the vitamin K recycling system used in activating clotting proteins. It is not simply a vitamin K receptor.

ALPL encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme important to bone and tooth mineralization and vitamin B6 metabolism. Persistently low alkaline phosphatase can deserve a different evaluation from a general nutrient deficiency.

GSTO2 encodes glutathione S-transferase omega 2, a redox enzyme with dehydroascorbate reductase activity that connects glutathione chemistry with vitamin C recycling. It is a separate gene from GSTO1.

CYP2D6 is the gene name for Cytochrome P450 Family 2 Subfamily D Member 6. Learn what a specific result could mean and what to ask about it.

PLD3 is the gene name for Phospholipase D Family Member 3. Learn what a specific result could mean and what to ask about it.

Explore D-amino acid oxidase activator (DAOA / G72), rs2391191, D-serine, NMDA receptors, glutamate signaling, and research questions about brain and mood.

As we celebrate the Fourth of July, we're reminded that freedom is one of life's greatest blessings—including the freedom to pursue better health, ask better questions, and seek answers that empower you and your family. This Independence D

Ever looked at your genetic report and felt overwhelmed by all the “SNPs”? 🧬 These small DNA changes can impact how well your body produces energy, detoxifies, and handles inflammation. Think of them like typos in your genetic recipe—some d
