- 23andMe+ Premium Advanced Ancestry & Health - DNA Test Kit, Personal Genetic Insights, Plus 1-Year Access to Exclusive Reports, DNA Kit (Before You Buy See Important Test Info Below)

I received my results in a timely manner as promised, I was very satisfied with the results. My ancestry map was accurate to where I was born and the information I was already aware of. I appreciated the health portion of the test and the results and I plan to share it with my doctor at my next visit. I would recommend for accuracy. This came with a year membership but I’m not sure I need that, but if you would like to continue connecting your family tree it could be really helpful. I would recommend 24andMe.

23 & Me’s the best on Ancestry & Health!

Arrived for black friday discount 50% so i decided to try. Spit in a tube close the cap download the app scan the vial barcode to link the sample to your profile number so your name isnt on anything. Place sampe in provided box with provided prepaid lable wait for results on app. And they wont give your dna to ANYONE whatso ever not even the po po

Kit is great for giving you an overview of your medical problems now and in the future. You receive reports on everything from ancestry to medical. Well worth it to give you insight of what you need to keep an eye on.

I bought both this and Ancestry DNA to cover my bases. Lets' compare. COLLECTION Almost identical. You spit into a tube, wrap it up, send it in. Then wait. TIME UNTIL RESULTS Nearly identical. It took around 4-ish weeks for both. They emailed me at different steps of the process which was nice. RESULTS Pretty surprising. Ancestry DNA says I am 33% English, 23% Irish, 19% German, 13% Scottish, and so on. 23andMe says I am 77.1% "Irish & UK", 17.7% French & German, 4.3% Scandinavian, and so on. Comparing Ireland and UK, Ancestry totaled 56% while 23andMe totaled 77%. Quite a difference. Ancestry didn't even pick up on my French ancestry while 23andMe didn't quite recognize my Norwegian ancestry. 23andMe did include results for WAAAAY back results like Middle East, Africa, and even Neanderthal. USER INTERFACE/EXPERIENCE I will give 23andMe the edge here. On Ancestry you can see the highlighted countries representing your DNA. On 23andMe you can click the country and see all of the regions/counties where your DNA is from. Bolder regions show where more DNA is from vs. lighter regions. So rather than just "Ireland" I know most of my DNA came from County Dublin, County Mayo, County Cork, and County Galway. Pretty cool. KEY DIFFERENCES 23andMe dives much deeper into your health markers. You really can't make informed decisions on it but it's still interesting to see that I have an increased likelihood of skin cancer, glaucoma, ADHD, etc. 23andMe has the ability to build a family tree but if that's what you're after, Ancestry beats them hands down. Ancestry has years and years of data from others building their family trees. What this means is you can add your parents, grandparents, etc., and there is a high probability Ancestry will automatically identify your past relatives. Basically, "Hey, we think we found a good match for Jane Doe's parents. Does this look right?" With that feature I was able to build out my direct lineage back to the 1700s in a couple of hours. CANCELLATION This is where it gets fun. Cancelling 23andMe and SUUUUUUCKS. The site conveniently broke for me when I went to cancel. What made this more annoying is you have to sign up for their annual subscription to get your results. Yes, the results that you already paid for with this kit requires an annual subscription. But don't worry, you can "cancel at any time." I ended up having to write to customer service to cancel. It took almost a month to get back to me. So I just completely deleted my account and scrubbed my DNA results (assuming they follow privacy laws). That whole process was annoying and left a bad taste in my mouth. Ancestry was super easy to cancel. No issues there. BOTTOM LINE I think both are worth it given the varying results. The health data is interesting but not something I am putting much stake in. If I only had money for one, I would absolutely go with Ancestry. A NOTE ON THE RECENT BREACH The recent 23andMe breach occurred through a password spray attack. Basically, people who use the same password everywhere were targeted. This is all the more reason to use different passwords for every site and app. Also, use MFA whenever you can. Yeah, it's annoying but getting hacked is way more annoying. So no, 23andMe's systems weren't hacked -- individual users were hacked. Because there is the ability to share data with your DNA matches, this also impacted people connected to those who were hacked. Yes, 23andMe should have had detection capabilities to identify this attack sooner but it's not quite a doom and gloom as the media would portray.

Es un kit fácil de usar, de una marca reconocida, ideal para quienes tengan curiosidad por conocer más sobre su genética y ascendencia. Aunque sus resultados no constituyen un diagnóstico médico si dan resultados que ayudan a orientarnos en algunos temas de salud

Followed the instructions carefully and sent in. It’s been an interesting experience to find distant relatives. Some genetic finding have been comforting, others are validating, and some make me inquisitive to find out more.

Very effective for clear ancestry and basic health insights, but it has limits and should not be treated as a medical test

Scam

Don’t buy from here. It was sent to the UAE where I live and where I bought it from. Then had to be sent back to the US. It didn’t arrive. Now 23&me are saying the replacement kit can only be sent to the US. So this product here is false. Do not buy. It doesn’t work

I ordered product through Amazon and it was delivered in the UAE. Followed the instructions post it and then I received a message since it was delivered in the UAE and I’ve sent the test from the UAE it can not be tested in the USA. Then why sell it outside of the USA

23andMe’s services sold on Amazon but are only available for shipment in the United States. I bought the kit from amazon.ae delivered in Dubai, the complete kit was sent back to 23andMe USA, but they refused to perform genetic test referring to the fact that kit came from outside of US. So full money loss for the kit plus delivery back cost
