Optimised health. It's yours to take.
Take your health to the next level, with our advanced DNA screening test.
The team at Stride has been doing DNA and genetic testing for over 10 years, so we know what we're doing. But now we're showing how - through our StrideDNA methylation test - how we can get the right parts of your genetic make-up/DNA working for you not against you.
Our team have built precision health products for some of the worlds biggest brands
Deeper analysis
Most methylations tests on the market look at only a handful of genetic variants. StrideDNA analyse more than 9000 genetic locations with every sample for the most precision picture of your health.
Expert support
Forget hard to understand lab reports on a static PDF, with no support. StrideDNA results are delivered in your own interactive, world-class portal and every test includes 1:1 support from our expert team of human health practitioners.
Faster turnaround
Unlike almost every other test provider, we own and operate our own in-house laboratory here in the UK. This means we can be higher quality, lower cost and deliver results faster than anyone else.
Precision wellbeing, unlocked.
Elevate your lifestyle with comprehensive wellness insights from StrideDNA.
Unlock your genetic blueprint.
Our genes are static and unchanging, but their functionality depends on our environment and lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and toxin intake.
This is where StrideDNA comes in.
StrideDNA helps you understand your genetic profile, unique methylation capabilities and nutrient deficiency predispositions, empowering you to make personalised lifestyle changes supported by our team of human health and performance experts.

Understanding Methylation
Methylation is similar to transforming raw materials into usable forms, playing a role in nearly every biochemical reaction within our cells, happening billions times per second.
Methylation is crucial for numerous body processes, including gene expression, energy production, fat metabolism, immune responses, detoxification and neurotransmitter regulation. Factors like DNA, diet, toxin exposure, and stress influence methylation.
Genetic mutations and deficiencies in key dietary cofactors (e.g., the MTHFR gene) can impair methylation and affect the body's ability to convert nutrients effectively. This can cause various chronic conditions, such as impaired immunity, fatigue, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, cancers, and mood disorders.

Sebastian
Understanding my DNA profile changed everything for me. I was able to optimise my supplementation protocols based on my results, and I feel so much more energy and cognitive focus everyday.
Lara
Loved having my genetic results AND easily understanding them - there is nothing more personal than your genes and they unlock all the secrets of your health and wellbeing!
Hilly
As someone with dietary restrictions (no meat or dairy) and having felt pretty run-down for a while, I turned to Stride for answers due to their DNA methylation test, actionable genetic reports and hands-on support. The insights were eye-opening - one key learning is that I need methylcobalamin (active B12). Luckily, StrideDaily's liquid supplement includes this and other key nutrients that are personalised in line with my genetic profile! Since starting, my energy has increased; I'm having less brain fog and generally feel great!

What makes methylation important for health?
Methylation is crucial for numerous body processes, including gene expression, energy production, fat metabolism, immune responses, detoxification, and neurotransmitter regulation. Proper methylation supports overall health, personalises nutritional choices and supplements, and helps prevent various chronic conditions.
How do genetic mutations affect methylation?
Genetic mutations, such as those in the MTHFR gene, can impair methylation, affecting the body's ability to convert nutrients effectively (e.g. folate). This can lead to issues like impaired immunity, fatigue, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and mood disorders.
How do I get started with StrideDNA?
To get started with StrideDNA, choose your genetic insight level (Methylation only, Methylation + Nutrigenetic, or Methylation, Nutrigenetic, Fitness, Sleep + Stress, Skin Reports) and order your StrideDNA test kit. After returning your sample using the prepaid mailer, you'll receive your results and personalised health reports within 10 days.

Why is the AHCY gene not included in Stride's Methylation report?
We rigorously select the genes included in our reports, each requiring evidence from human studies, reproducibility, and relevance to modifiable lifestyle changes. The AHCY gene, while important in certain contexts, is not included in our report for the following reasons:
Benign Variants: Two of the primary SNPs associated with the AHCY gene, rs41301825 and rs13043752, are now regarded as benign and have no significant effect. Additionally, these risk alleles are quite rare, with frequencies of 0.6% and 1.9% respectively, making them less relevant for the majority of our users.
Extremely Rare Mutation: The third variant, rs121918608, is not a typical SNP but rather a rare mutation associated with serious health conditions, including hypermethioninemia and severe developmental delays. Due to its rarity and the severity of its consequences, it is not suitable for inclusion in our reports.
Our goal is to provide genetic insights that are both meaningful and applicable to a broad audience. Including variants that are either benign or extremely rare with serious health implications would not align with our mission to deliver actionable and relevant information to our users.
Does Stride provide DNA testing for individuals under 18?
No, Stride does not provide DNA testing services for individuals under the age of 18. By placing a StrideDNA test order, activating a StrideDNA test, or accepting treatment, you confirm that you are the individual being tested, and that you are over 18 years old. If you have any questions about our services or need assistance, please feel free to contact our support team.
