DNA Nutrition Test

DNA Nutrition Test – Personalized Vitamin & Mineral Insights

Do you want to ensure you are getting the nutrients you need from your diet? Or are you having trouble deciding which supplement to take? This DNA test reveals:

• Whether your body absorbs, breaks down, and uses vitamins and minerals properly
• Your risk of potential nutritional deficiencies
• How you can optimize your diet with our revolutionary Genofit app

Detailed Description

Do the thousands of nutrition supplements on the market overwhelm you, or do you just want to ensure you have a balanced intake from dietary sources? Your genetic variation determines how well your body is able to absorb and utilize vitamins and minerals — there is no "wonder supplement" or "perfect diet" that works for everyone.

A simple mouth swab is all we need to analyze your DNA and identify simple ways to improve your nutritional balance.

The Genetics

Many genetic variants influence how well we absorb, activate, and use specific vitamins and minerals. Understanding your genetic variation allows you to customize your nutritional planning.

Vitamin A – Important for vision, immune function, skin health, bone growth, and reproduction.

• BCO1 – Affects activation of vitamin A

Vitamin B6 – Needed for carbohydrate metabolism, cognitive development, immune function, skin health, and hemoglobin formation.

• NBPF3 – Increases clearance of vitamin B6 from the body

Vitamin B12 – Necessary for normal brain and nervous system function, DNA synthesis, and metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids.

• FUT2 – Reduces absorption of vitamin B12 in the gut

Vitamin C – Involved in production of collagen and neurotransmitters, immune response, wound healing, iron absorption, and antioxidant activity.

• SLC23A1 – Decreases vitamin C absorption and distribution

Vitamin D – Required to modulate cell growth, aid immune function, decrease inflammation, and maintain normal bone growth and remodeling.

• CYP2R1 – Reduces activation of vitamin D
• GC – Reduces efficiency of vitamin D transport and uptake

Vitamin E – Promotes immune system health, healthy eyes and skin, and a number of other metabolic processes.

• APOA5 – Influences vitamin E levels

Folate – Essential for proper growth and development, and important for conversion of the toxic homocysteine amino acid to methionine.

• MTHFD1 – Linked to folate-related disorders
• MTHFR – Affects activation of folate

Iron – Required to make hemoglobin, an essential protein that transports oxygen around the body.

• TMPRSS6 – Influences iron absorption from the diet
• TF – Influences iron transport

Omega-3 – Important for normal, healthy metabolism.

• NOS3 – Influences triglyceride levels when omega-3 is low
