DNA
 
Sample type: Saliva via Buccal swab
Biomarkers tested: 189
Lab processing time: 40 business days (excludes transit)
Lab: Eurofins
 
This DNA test looks at 189 different genes and 250+ SNPs. It offers information on an individual's genetic predispositions related to various aspects of health and well-being. It provides insights into how the unique genetic makeup of each individual may influence their risk to certain conditions such as type 2 diabetes, gluten sensitivity, detoxification processes, and more, as well as their response to certain lifestyle choices, such as diet, exercise, sleep patterns and stress management to name a few.

Method of analysis is based on the Illumina Microarray (BeadArray Technology) using silica microbeads. Each array (BeadChip) allows for thousands of genotypes to be assayed at once. As DNA fragments pass over the BeadChip, each probe binds to a complementary sequence in the sample DNA. Allele specificity is conferred by a single base extension that incorporates one of four labelled nucleotides.

All data is anonymised via ID numbers and no personal information is shared with testing lab or 3rd party.

Sample is destroyed after 90 days.
 
Why you should take a Genes DNA Test?
This genetic DNA testing investigates over 700,000 gene variants that allow you to access more than 500 gene reports across 70 categories of your health and wellness. With this DNA test, you will get insights into your detoxification ability, anti-oxidant needs, omega-3 needs, alcohol response, caffeine sensitivity, lactose intolerance, and many other useful insights about your body, health, nutrition, food sensitivity, weight management, fitness and performance, cognitive health, personality, vitamins and minerals, drug response, sleep and stress. Your genetic blueprint will also help you understand what chronic diseases you may be predisposed to so you can implement the lifestyle changes you need to reduce the risks and take control of your health.
