FAQ

Are these at-home tests as accurate as lab tests?
Depends on the test. Blood-spot collection can match venipuncture for many analytes (vitamin D, HbA1c) but not all. Genetic tests using saliva match clinical-grade for the SNPs they screen. Food-sensitivity IgG panels have limited clinical validity regardless of collection method. The Evidence dimension covers this per-test.
Do I need a doctor to interpret at-home test results?
For screening panels (nutrient levels, hormone levels) many reputable services include an ordering physician and a review of your results. For genetic and microbiome tests, results should be interpreted with a qualified professional given the complexity. Vyvata does not provide medical advice — see the FAQ.
Are results actually actionable?
That varies. Nutrient deficiency panels and hormone panels typically drive concrete action (supplement + retest, referral for further workup). Genetic and microbiome tests are more informational — their recommendations should be treated as one input into a broader clinical conversation, not a treatment plan.
