A few details:
In the questions about SNPs, 23andMe reports RS4570625 as G or T, not A or G, and RS4633 as C or T, not A or G.
I was surprised to see Vitamin D listed as a nootropic, and Google turns up nothing much on the subject. Fixing a deficiency of anything will likely have a positive effect on mental function, but that is drawing the boundary of "nootropic" rather wide.
Why is nicotine amplified as "gum, patch, lozenge", to the exclusion of tobacco? Cancer is a reason to not smoke tobacco, but I don't think it's a reason not to ask about it. Or are those who smoke not smart enough to be in the target population for the survey? :)
ETA: Also a typo in "SNP status of COMT RS4570625": the subtext mentions rs4680, not rs4570625. I dont know what "Val/Met" and "COMT" mean, but are those specific to RS4680 or correct for all three SNPs?
Aminoacids. Val stands for valine. Met stands for methionine.
I think COMT is Catechol-O-methyl transferase which is the protein in question.
