The DNA Health Test is designed to optimise wellbeing and health by personalising lifestyle choices and, where necessary, using IM Vitamin infusions or supplements tailored to offset any particular nutritional deficit based on specific gene variants.
The DNA Health approach assists the healthcare practitioner in establishing the optimal nutrition necessary for good health, longevity and disease risk mitigation. Diet is a key factor in determining genomic stability as it impacts on all relevant pathways: exposure to dietary carcinogens, biotransformation, DNA repair and synthesis, and apoptosis. Current recommended dietary allowance for vitamins and minerals are based largely on the prevention of diseases or deficiency. However, because diseases of lifestyle are partly caused by damage to DNA, it stands to reason that we should focus our attention on defining optimal requirements of key minerals and vitamins for preventing genomic instability.
Additional attention should be paid to individuals with genetic polymorphisms that alter the bioavailability of specific micronutrients and the affinity of specific key enzymes for their micro nutrient co-factor.
Clinical Value:
- Highlights specific metabolic pathways that may require extra support
- Provides recommendations that involve optimisation of quantities of certain nutrients, vitamins and minerals
- Suggests whether an individual is better able to reduce their cholesterol levels through diet, rather than medication
- Provides an indication of the degree of susceptibility to the harmful effects of carcinogens ingested in the diet
The DNA Health test report provides:
- The level of impact of any genetic variants identified
- An exploration of their impact on health
- Appropriate nutritional and lifestyle recommendations
The results are divided into sections of key metabolic function, so that genetic weaknesses and strengths within a functional area can be easily identified
The test is £225.
