23andMe is the genetic testing service most people think of when they think of a DNA kit. The company provides at-home kits that help you understand your health. The main goal is DNA accessibility -- so that you can understand and benefit from what your genes are telling you. 

With that in mind, 23andMe testing kits don't come cheap. The sticker price for a kit that provides 150+ personalized genetic reports is$199. It includes ancestry reports, a DNA relative finder/automatic family tree builder, trait reports, health predisposition reports, carrier status reports, wellness reports, and a family health history tree. On Amazon Prime Day,you can get that same kit for$99.

The health predispositions part of the test is crucial. It provides insight into your chances of developing certain health conditions, like type 2 diabetes, late-onset Alzheimer's disease, and celiac disease. You can also figure things out like your genetic weight, muscle composition, and alcohol flush reaction.

It all starts when you receive a DNA collection kit in the mail. Spit in the provided tube, register your kit with the barcode, and mail the saliva sample back to the lab with the prepaid package. You get your results back in 5-6 weeks.

You can upgrade the basic service with a 23andMe+ Premium membership. The membership bundle usually costs$229, but on Prime Day, you get it for$109 -- a savings of$120. The benefits of the membership include exclusive access to DNA insights around heart health, pharmacogenetics or how your prescriptions interact with your genetics, and 30 more personalized genetic reports than the regular kit.
