Does SelfDecode have a detox report?

Yes—SelfDecode can help you understand your genetic variants and how they may affect your detoxification processes. Detoxification is a complex biological process involving multiple genes, pathways, and enzymes. Your genetics can influence how efficiently your body processes and removes toxins, and lifestyle, diet, and environment play important roles too. Here are the different ways you can use SelfDecode to learn about your body's ability to detox.

Detox Pathway Report

The Detox Pathway Report gives you a personalized, science-backed view of how your body processes and eliminates toxins. By analyzing your genetics across key detoxification genes, it reveals how efficiently your body handles environmental toxins, dietary substances, and internal byproducts.

It covers both phases of detoxification:

• Phase I (Activation) — How your body initially breaks down toxins
• Phase II (Neutralization and Elimination) — How reactive compounds are made harmless and removed, including your ability to produce and use glutathione, the "master antioxidant"

The report also provides personalized recommendations for diet, lifestyle, and supplements to support your body's natural detox pathways, plus insights into relevant lab markers so you can see your genetics in action.

How to access the Detox Pathway Report

• To open this report in your SelfDecode account, select Detox Pathway from the navigation menu.
• If your Detox Pathway Report wasn't included in your purchase, you can unlock it in-app.
