Alcohol Metabolism Test

Alcohol Metabolism Test – Genetic Insights for Smart Lifestyle Choices

Discover how your body processes alcohol genetically with the Alcohol Metabolism Test — a DNA analysis that reveals your unique alcohol tolerance, processing speed, and health-related risks based on your genetics. A perfect wellness DNA test for anyone curious about why alcohol affects people differently, influences tolerance levels, or leads to uncomfortable reactions.

What Is the Alcohol Metabolism Test?

The Alcohol Metabolism Test examines key genes involved in how your body breaks down alcohol, especially the ADH1C gene — a major factor influencing the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. This enzyme starts the process that converts alcohol into acetaldehyde, and later into harmless compounds your body can eliminate. The test helps you understand if you metabolize alcohol fast, slow, or at an average rate — insights that can shape your drinking, wellness, and health decisions.

Key Benefits

Personalised Alcohol Tolerance Report – Know if your body processes alcohol quickly or slowly and how that affects intoxication, flushing, headaches, or nausea.
Health Risk Recognition – Understand genetic factors that may increase susceptibility to alcohol-related issues like liver stress, hypertension, or long-term discomfort.
Lifestyle & Wellness Guidance – Use your results to adjust your drinking habits, improve liver health strategies, or discuss personalised steps with a healthcare professional.
Simple Home Testing – A painless cheek swab sample is all that’s needed — no clinical visits required.
Comprehensive Genetic Report – Delivered digitally within 10–15 working days with detailed insights.

How It Works

When you consume alcohol, your liver uses two important enzymes to break it down:

Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH) — Converts alcohol into acetaldehyde (a toxic intermediate).

Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) — Converts acetaldehyde into acetic acid for safe elimination.

Genetic variations in these enzymes influence how efficiently your body handles alcohol — and this test identifies which category you fall into: fast, intermediate, or slow metaboliser.
