WHAT IS NUTRIGENOMICS?

Nutrigenomics is an emerging scientific discipline that leverages advanced genomic technologies to explore the relationship between genes, nutrition, and health. It has long been known that individuals respond differently to specific foods—for instance, those with lactose intolerance may experience gastrointestinal discomfort after consuming dairy products, while others digest them without issue. Nutrigenomics helps us understand how our genetic makeup influences our response to the foods, beverages, and supplements we consume.

WHAT IS FITGENE?

FitGene is a specially designed test dedicated to the personalized optimization of dietary and physical habits, with the goal of achieving the best possible results.
It utilizes evidence-based genetic markers to help you unlock your genetic potential and enhance your overall health through the power of nutrition—tailored to your unique genetic profile.
Our health, sports, and fertility panels analyze 70 genetic markers, offering valuable insights into weight management, nutrient needs, cardiovascular health, food intolerances, eating habits, and physical performance. They also reveal additional genetic factors that support overall wellness, with a focus on key areas such as inflammation, antioxidant capacity, sleep, and alcohol sensitivity.

WHY SHOULD I TAKE THE FITGENE TEST? WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Because every body is unique, and one-size-fits-all approaches to nutrition and health often fail to deliver the desired results.
The FitGene test analyzes your DNA to provide personalized guidance on nutrition, metabolism, food sensitivities, vitamin and mineral needs, weight regulation, and athletic performance.
Instead of relying on guesswork, you’ll receive science-based recommendations tailored to your body, empowering you to make informed decisions for better health, increased energy, and peak physical condition.

HOW IS THE TEST PERFORMED?

A simple DNA sample (either saliva or a cheek swab) is all that’s needed to analyze the genetic
markers included in our reports. Once you order your sample collection kit, it will include detailed instructions to guide you through the easy at-home swab collection process.

HOW LONG SHOULD I FOLLOW THE TEST RESULTS?

Once our laboratory receives your DNA sample, it typically takes 2–3 weeks for the analysis and personalized recommendations to be completed and ready for your review.

HOW LONG SHOULD I FOLLOW THE TEST RESULTS?

Your test results are not intended to support a short-term “diet.” The data provided in our report—when combined with a meal plan developed by a certified nutritionist or healthcare professional—will empower you with long-term knowledge, enabling you to consistently make the best dietary choices on a daily basis.

CAN THE RESULTS BE "BAD"?

No. FITGENE tests analyze your DNA for genetic variants that influence how you respond to foods and beverages. The test does not predict or diagnose any disease or medical condition. However, with the insights gained from your results, a healthcare professional can provide dietary advice that aligns with your individual genetic profile.
