The DNA Health test is designed to optimize well-being and health by personalizing lifestyle and dietary choices, and where necessary, by using tailored supplements to compensate for potential nutritional deficiencies associated with specific genetic variations.
The DNA Health approach helps healthcare professionals establish the optimal nutrition required for good health, longevity, and reduced risk of disease. Nutrition is an essential factor in determining genomic stability, as it influences all relevant biological pathways: exposure to dietary carcinogens, biotransformation, DNA repair and synthesis, and apoptosis.
Current recommendations for daily vitamin and mineral intake are largely based on preventing deficiency-related diseases. However, since lifestyle diseases are partly caused by DNA damage, it is logical to focus on establishing the optimal requirement for vitamins and minerals essential to prevent genomic instability.
Additional attention should also be given to individuals who exhibit genetic polymorphisms that alter the bioavailability of certain micronutrients and the affinity of important enzymes for their nutritional cofactors.
Clinical Value
- Highlights specific metabolic pathways that may require additional support
- Provides recommendations for optimizing quantities of certain nutrients, vitamins, and minerals
- Indicates whether an individual can more effectively lower their cholesterol levels through diet, rather than medication
- Offers an estimation of the susceptibility to the harmful effects of ingested carcinogens through diet
The DNA Health test report includes
- The impact level of identified genetic variants
- An explanation of how these affect health
- Appropriate nutrition and lifestyle recommendations
The results are divided into sections corresponding to key metabolic functions, so that genetic strengths and vulnerabilities in each functional area can be easily identified.
