GSTM1 Gene Test in Australia and New Zealand – Understand Your Detox Capacity and Oxidative Stress Response

We look at over 900,000 SNP’s and use the latest AI powered software to analyse over 80 million variants that significantly influence your health.

A GSTM1 gene test offers insight into how your body detoxifies environmental toxins and manages oxidative stress. At Life X DNA, GSTM1 analysis is included in all of our at-home DNA test kits – available across Australia and New Zealand.

Using next-generation sequencing, Life X DNA assesses over 20 million SNPs and genetic markers, including those related to the GSTM1 gene and other members of the glutathione S-transferase family. This analysis may highlight how your body processes pollutants, metabolises certain drugs, and responds to internal oxidative load.

What Is the GSTM1 Gene and Why Does It Matter?

The GSTM1 gene encodes an enzyme involved in Phase II detoxification, a key part of how the body neutralises and eliminates toxins.

Some people carry a deletion variant known as the “GSTM1 null” genotype, which means no active enzyme is produced. This variation may influence:

  • Susceptibility to environmental toxins
  • Efficiency of detox pathways
  • Antioxidant support and glutathione recycling

Inflammation and cellular damage risk from oxidative stress

Why the GSTM1 Gene Test Is Included in Our DNA Analysis Panels

At Life X DNA, GSTM1 is analysed alongside a broader panel of detoxification and methylation-related genes.

We report on GSTM1 as part of:

  • Our Detox and Environmental Resilience Reports
  • The 100X Advanced Methylation Panel (26 core genes + 300+ related)
  • Oxidative stress and antioxidant pathway summaries

This integrated approach helps provide context for your glutathione status and detox capacity.

Who Uses GSTM1 Testing and Why?

GSTM1 insights may be relevant for people who:

  • Are exploring their detox pathways or antioxidant status
  • Suspect sensitivity to chemicals, fragrances, smoke or pollution
  • Have previously tested for MTHFR, CBS, or other methylation SNPs
  • Want to tailor lifestyle or supplement strategies to reduce oxidative stress

As with all Life X DNA reports, results are educational and non-diagnostic – provided to support personal health awareness, not treatment decisions.

FAQs About GSTM1 Gene Testing

It identifies whether you have a functional GSTM1 enzyme or a null variant, and how that may impact detoxification and oxidative stress handling.

Potentially. GSTM1 helps use glutathione in detoxification reactions. A null variant may alter how effectively your body uses glutathione.

Yes – GSTM1 analysis is standard across all Life X DNA testing panels.

Yes – all kits are available in both Australia and New Zealand, with local lab processing and secure online delivery.
