Accuracy of Genetic Genie methylation analysis
Original post in this thread

I recently learned of the 23andme genome interpretation service offered at www.geneticgenie.org. The website states:
> This website looks at your methylation genetics just by reading your 23andMe raw data. After you receive your results from 23andMe, click on the Methylation Analysis link, follow the simple instructions, and you’ll see some of your methylation-related genetic polymorphisms.
>
> Studies have shown that DNA Methylation can be altered with vitamins such as B12, Folate, SAMe, and other methyl donors.
If it's true, it would allow for optimized supplementation to correct genetic abnormalities. I've already ordered a kit from 23andme and am awaiting its arrival, but I wanted to get the opinion of the Nootropic community. Might this work? Or is it just pseudoscience?

Also I'm confused that people are having you read their results, there is a writeup below the genetic genie chart that explains everything and what to supplement already. Is there something I"m missing?

Not particularly, no. Some people just want to double check, or see if there are other supplements that could help. Others are just lazy, or confused by everything.
