The ever-popular 23andMe DNA kit is seeing up to 50% off both its Ancestry and Traits kit and its Health and Ancestry Service kit. It’s a great time to pick either of these packages up if you’re looking for a Black Friday or pre-Christmas deal on DNA kits. Head to 23andMe now to pick up this offer now, which ends 2 December.
The Ancestry and Traits kit, though less expensive of the two, is typically priced at £79. The discount reduces its price to £63. For more comprehensive results, there’s the Health and Ancestry kit, which is usually priced at £149 but is now just £74 – this means you can pick up the fully loaded option at a cheaper price than the regular price of the ‘lite’.
Keep in mind, Amazon is also offering the two kits at the same prices as a part of its Hidden Gems sale that ends 12 November. Head to Amazon to pick up the 23andMe Ancestry and Traits kit for £63, or the Health and Ancestry Service for £74 – be sure to add the Amazon voucher before checking out to get the discount.
What sets the two kits apart?
The Ancestry and Traits service offers over 30 trait reports, 50 ancestry reports and a family tree builder. The Health and Ancestry kit offers the same package, but an additional 10 Heath Predisposition reports (such as your genetic likelihood for Type 2 Diabetes, Celiac Disease, Alzheimers and more), 5 Wellness reports (on sleep, lactose intolerance, and weight for instance), and over 40 Carrier Status reports (for Cystic Fibrosis, Sickle Cell, and hearing loss to name a few).
Head to 23andMe to learn more about what types of tests each package includes.
