At-home DNA testing · Saliva only · No blood test

Taking steroids — or thinking about it? Find out what your DNA can tell you.

Your genes play a role in how your body responds to hormones.

GeneticEdge looks at five parts of your DNA linked to hormone biology and explains what researchers have discovered about them.

Simple testing. Straightforward results.

Who is GeneticEdge for?

01 · Considering

Thinking about taking steroids?

Interested in learning more about your genetics?

02 · Already taking

Already taking steroids?

Interested in learning more about your DNA and the role genes may play in hormone activity?

GeneticEdge is designed for people in both situations.

Recognisable names

Do these look familiar?

These are examples of anabolic steroids. Our test examines your DNA, not the substances themselves.

01 / EXAMPLE

Testosterone

Test E / Sustanon

02 / EXAMPLE

Trenbolone

Tren

03 / EXAMPLE

Nandrolone

Deca

02

Give a saliva sample

Simply collect your saliva using the kit provided. No needles or blood tests.

03

Send it to the lab

Return your sample using the supplied packaging. A specialist laboratory analyses your DNA.

04

Receive your results

Get an easy-to-read report explaining your genetic findings.

Want someone to talk you through it? Choose our Core Panel for a 30-minute consultation.

Your results, clearly explained

What will I actually learn?

Everyone's DNA is slightly different.

Our test looks at five genetic markers that researchers have studied in connection with testosterone and other hormones.

Your report explains:

  • Which genetic variations you carry.
  • What scientists know about those variations.
  • What those findings might mean — and where the evidence is still uncertain.
What won't the test tell me?

It cannot predict whether steroids will be safe for you, which side effects you might develop or which substances you should take.

Genetic testing is not a replacement for blood tests or professional medical advice.

Interested in taking part in research?

We're also speaking with adults who currently use anabolic steroids or are considering using them.

We want to understand their experiences, questions and attitudes towards genetic testing.

These are voluntary research conversations, not medical consultations. No purchase is necessary.
