Frequently Asked Questions
How Macromo helps with disease prevention?
Macromo offers a complex approach to disease prevention, combining your genetic predispositions to certain diseases; blood work to assess your current health state; family history and lifestyle data. We believe that knowledge is power and when you have a complete picture, you can take actionable steps to prevent numerous diseases through lifestyle changes and regular monitoring.
What is the difference between a DNA test and a Blood test when it comes to disease prevention?
DNA test assesses your genetic risks of developing a number of diseases. These results do not change during your life - nor do they mean you will develop the diseases in question. The test indicates your predisposition, but you can prevent many diseases through lifestyle changes and regular check-ups. Blood tests assess your health at the moment. This is one of the most accurate lab tests - 70% of all medical diagnoses depend on blood work results. However, these results change over time, meaning you need to monitor your biomarkers regularly to be up-to-date with your health state.
How long does it take to collect the sample and process the results?
Sampling usually takes only a few minutes and you can easily do it yourself in the comfort of your own home. For our DNA tests, it consists of collecting about 2 ml of saliva in a vial of prepared stabilizing solution, which you will receive in the test kit together with a prepaid envelope for returning the sample. You will get your results in 60 days in the Macromo app.
For our blood tests, the process is simple and pain-free, as you collect a few ml of blood in two vials provided for you. After returning the sample following the same procedure as with the DNA kits, you will get your results in the Macromo app within 5 business days.
