23andMe offers a single DNA test for $199.00 that will give you a huge amount of information about your ancestry, your genetic health risks, whether you may be a carrier for certain diseases, and what your genetic predispositions are around eating and weight loss, exercise, lactose tolerance/intolerance, and a bunch more.
I’ve taken 23andMe’s test, and have been not only satisfied but extremely impressed with the accuracy, quality, and thoroughness of my DNA report. Knowing what I know about both companies, I would pick 23andMe over Orig3n in a heartbeat.
The only thing that might tempt you to go with Orig3n anyway is that its highly specialized individual tests might tell you exactly what you want to know about yourself — no more, no less — and could do so more affordably than the comprehensive test from 23andMe.
Given their specialized nature, some of Orig3n’s individual tests might be more detailed than corresponding sections of the 23andMe report. But in my experience, that was not the case.
Anyway, to get anywhere near the overall scope of information found in 23andMe’s $199.00 report, you’d have to buy Orig3n’s Fitness and Nutrition Bundle for $249.00.
