It would be helpful to know the names and prices of the companies you liked, please.
BTW, I didn’t find the Tapestry Helix study very helpful either.
Regarding the folate metabolism, I have MTHFR homozygous for C677T. Regular folic acid did not help. What brought my folate to normal level was Nature’s Truth brand L-methylfolate. Please notice that “L”in the name before the methylfolate. It is important. I found this at the largest Rite-Aid store in my neighborhood. Taking only three capsules weekly after breakfast is adequate for me. Hope this helps!

I used sequencing.com and was pleasantly surprised by how in depth the results are.
Note they attempt to make money by their data analysis subscription and offering the initial sequencing service and data analysis fairly inexpensive. IMHO, the initial data analysis is sufficient but you should download the FastQ, BAM and VCF files for your own records and future analysis. One feature that I like is that you can upload other data from Ancestry, Heritage etc. to compare the results. Helix has never given me my own raw data despite numerous requests. This is a violation of HIPAA regulations and has really made me suspect of their data analysis.
