CircleDNA Premium DNA Test
A whole-lifestyle DNA panel: 500+ reports across 20+ categories from one at-home cheek swab, NGS-sequenced.
Most consumer DNA tests give you ancestry plus a handful of trait cards. CircleDNA's Premium test goes the other direction: one cheek swab, sequenced on Illumina NGS hardware, returned as 500+ reports across diet, fitness, sleep, drug response, disease risk, and family planning.

Most consumer DNA tests give you ancestry plus a handful of trait cards. CircleDNA's Premium test goes the other direction: one cheek swab, sequenced on Illumina NGS hardware, returned as 500+ reports across diet, fitness, sleep, drug response, disease risk, and family planning.
The pitch is breadth. Where a typical kit covers one lane, Premium spans 20+ categories: nutrition and diet response, sports and recovery profiles, stress and sleep traits, skin, pharmacogenomics (how you may respond to common drug classes), hereditary disease and cancer risk markers, carrier status, and ancestry. Results land in the app in about 18 business days, and the tier includes consults with a genetics-trained health coach and a genetic counsellor.
The honest framing: this is a wellness and information product, not a diagnostic. Genetic predisposition reports are probabilities and starting points for a conversation with your doctor, never diagnoses, and the headline figures (500+ reports, 99.9% accuracy, 3 million data points) are the brand's own marketing claims. The disease-risk and cancer categories are risk information only and no substitute for clinical screening.
On privacy, CircleDNA states ISO 27001-aligned security with genetic data stored separately from identity under an anonymous code. DNA is the one dataset you cannot rotate like a password, so read the current policy at circledna.com before buying; that advice applies to every DNA test, not just this one.
The $349 Vital tier covers the lifestyle core (120+ reports) and upgrades to Premium later for $99.
Data-hungry optimizers who want the widest single-kit genetic panel (lifestyle + pharmacogenomics + risk markers) and will treat results as conversation starters with their clinician.
You want clinical-grade diagnostic answers (see a physician-ordered test), you are privacy-cautious about DNA data, or you mainly want ancestry, which cheaper kits cover.
