The ancestry and wellbeing kits are slightly different - one provides comprehensive tracing information and the other guidance about susceptibility to health conditions or an evaluation of your overall wellness. 

The DNA Testing Process

Ordering a LivingDNA test kit is pretty effortless - and you can order online and receive your testing kit in the post, shipped to anywhere in the world either via a standard or express service.

There are no pinpricks or blood specimens, and you simply take a mouth swab to capture your DNA and return the sample in the post.

Results do take a fair bit of time (six to eight weeks), but the expertise at LivingDNA means it's probably well worth the wait if you want to have authentic information about your heritage and results that you trust.

The family matching service is an optional extra. Still, it could be a fantastic opportunity for anybody who has lost touch with their relatives to track down long lost family members and establish communications.

Yes, it takes a good few weeks to get your results back. But, if you're interested in accuracy over anything else, this is a reliable service provider offering very competitive pricing for such a technically advanced testing service.
