Unlock the Secret to Optimal Nutrition
Your body is unique, and so are its nutritional needs. While a balanced diet is essential, genes also influence how well we absorb, process, and utilize specific vitamins and minerals. For example, some people may have a genetic predisposition to vitamin D deficiency, while others may have difficulty absorbing iron.
Understanding how your genes affect your nutritional needs empowers you to prevent deficiencies, optimize your diet, and achieve lasting well-being.
What You'll Discover
Our DNA Nutrition Test provides a comprehensive analysis of your genetic profile, focusing on key areas of nutrient metabolism:
- Vitamin Absorption & Utilization: Understand how your genes influence your body’s ability to process essential vitamins like A, B-complex, C, D, and E.
- Mineral Metabolism: Discover if you have genetic predispositions that may affect your iron absorption and metabolism.
- Omega-3 Response: Learn how your genes impact your body’s ability to benefit from omega-3 fatty acids.
- Personalized Nutrition Plan: Receive tailored recommendations based on your DNA results, designed to optimize your nutrient intake and support your overall well-being.
