I took a $30 test that told me if I had 'superhero' genes — and it was by far the most fun test I've taken

Very detailed of the test is at http://www.orig3n.com/lifeprofile/superhero/

Results of VDR test of Henry Lahore is at the bottom of this page
Note: In addition to the VDR there are 5 other genes whose failures are not detected by Vitamin D tests

Vitamin D Receptor category has the following

234 items in Vitamin D Receptor category

Vitamin D tests cannot detect Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) problems
A poor VDR restricts Vitamin D from getting in the cells

A poor VDR increases the risk of 45 health problems  click here for details

VDR at-home test $29 - results not easily understood in 2016
There are hints that you may have inherited a poor VDR

Compensate for poor VDR by increasing one or more:

Increasing	Increases
1) Vitamin D supplement   Sun, Ultraviolet -B	Vitamin D in the blood and thus to the cells
2) Magnesium	Vitamin D in the blood  AND to the cells
3) Omega-3	Vitamin D to the cells
4) Resveratrol	Vitamin D to the cells
5) Intense exercise	Vitamin D Receptor
6) Get prescription for VDR activator    paricalcitol, maxacalcitol?	Vitamin D Receptor
7) Quercetin (flavonoid)	Vitamin D Receptor
8) Zinc is in the VDR Costs less than 1 cent per day	Vitamin D Receptor

Note: If you are not feeling enough benefit from Vitamin D, you might try increasing VDR activation
You might feel the benefit within days of adding one or more of the above

Vitamin D blood test misses a lot

• Snapshot of the literature by VitaminDWiki - (subject to many future developments)
• Vitamin D from coming from tissues (vs blood) was speculated to be 50% in 2014, andi in 2017 is speculated to be 90%
• Note: Good results from a blood test (> 40 ng) does not mean that a good amount of Vitamin D actually gets to cells
• A Vitamin D test in cells appears feasible (personal communication)
  However test results would vary in each tissue due to multiple genes
• Good clues that Vitamin D is being restricted from getting to the cells
  1) A vitamin D-related health problem runs in the family
     especially if it is one of 41+ diseases related to Vitamin D Receptor
  2) Slightly increasing Vitamin D show benefits (even if conventional Vitamin D test shows an increase)
  3) Vitamin D Receptor test (<$30) scores are poor
  4) Back Pain
      probably want at least 2 clues before taking adding vitamin D, Omega-3, Magnesium, Resveratrol, etc
        The founder of VitaminDWiki took action with clues #3&4

TT - Normal, Low

How the same gene can have two different results?
