Independent analysis of DNA methylation tests.

We are not a supplement brand, a testing lab, or a clinic. We are an editorially independent platform — with a clear methodology, a disclosed commercial model, and a commitment to honest comparison.

Demystifying a complex and rapidly evolving field.

DNA methylation testing is one of the most promising tools in personalised health — but the market is fragmented, technical, and difficult for non-specialists to navigate. Providers use different gene panels, different lab standards, and different reporting formats, making genuine comparison nearly impossible without specialist knowledge.

Compare Methylation was built to change that. We apply a consistent analytical framework to every test we review, assess each provider against the same criteria, and present the findings in plain language that helps you make an informed decision.

We do not promote any single provider. We do not accept payment in exchange for editorial coverage or favourable ratings. Our income comes from affiliate commissions — disclosed on every page — which have no influence on our scoring or recommendations.

"I started this site because I couldn't find an honest comparison of methylation tests — only affiliate lists dressed up as reviews. We built the site I wished existed."

Our scoring methodology

Every test we review is assessed against six criteria. Scores are weighted to reflect what matters most to someone making a health decision.

Genes analysed
25%
Number of clinically relevant methylation genes included in the panel.
Lab quality
20%
ISO accreditation, CLIA certification, or equivalent standards.
Report clarity
20%
How actionable and understandable the results are for a non-specialist.
Turnaround
15%
Time from sample dispatch to results delivery.
Support
10%
Access to expert interpretation — practitioner calls, guides, or follow-up.
Value
10%
Price relative to panel depth — cost per gene tested.
